Josh Hutcherson is an American actor who was born on October 12, 1992. He started his acting career in the early 2000s in which he appeared in minor film roles before gaining fame in his teenage years. He starred in several films including “Little Manhattan,” “Bridge to Terabithia,” “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” “The Hunger Games” series, “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” 

My favorite movie that he has been in is obviously The Hunger Games. This man just spoke Peeta Mellark and he was everything in that film. He had so much chemistry with Jennifer Lawrence who played Katniss. But I love Peeta Mellark and I think he was the perfect casting choice for the character. I was originally introduced to him when I first watched the film Journey to the Center of the Earth. I honestly love this movie and the sequel. I do not care what people think about these movies, they are so good! But the role he had in the film made me love those movies even more than I already had. 

As everyone knows, the whistle meme! I think these memes are so funny especially when you do expect the whistle meme to come up in a TikTok video about cooking. But my favorite whistle meme moment is when Hutcherson was on the Jimmy Fallon show and he was talking about how he just recently found out about the meme even though it has existed since 2014. The resurgence of this meme was a result of both the new Hunger Games film being released and Hutcherson starring in Five Nights At Freddy’s.

I love when he is in interviews and talks about his time on the Hunger Games set. In a recent Buzzfeed interview, he talked about how he was still close with Jennifer Lawerance and Liam Hemsworth who were also in the film. This is also an interview where he got to play with puppies and said that the dogs reminded him of his hunger games cast mates and himself. 

I also thought that his wired autocomplete interview was really funny. He sat there and answered the funniest google questions that were the top choices when you typed in his name to the search engine. Overall, I love Josh Hutcherson as an actor and I love the films that he is in.
