It's 'The Hunger Games.' My character needs to look hungry. A little bit.
I’ve been friends with all these people for so many years now…. I’m so lucky to have Jennifer [Lawrence] and Josh [Hutcherson] and Woody [Harrelson] and all these other great people. We’ve created really strong bonds. It’s like high school because we’ll mess around for half the day and then we’ll do a little bit of work. Everyone’s goofing around and trying to mess each other up.
We shot in a place called Asheville, which is like beautiful, beautiful forests. And then part of it we shot all the reaping stuff, which was just crazy - because the reaping in the book and in the script is such an emotional thing for everyone. It really did feel like that when we were shooting it.
I go down to Newport and Huntington a lot. It's more crowded than where I grew up on Phillip Island, but I think it's helped me adjust to life in America - getting into the water as much as I can.
At this point, I'm happy to be part of something special. As an actor I liked to choose scripts that I'm passionate about.
Gary Ross is amazing. He's just - he always has a billion ideas of what he wants, but has a very clear perspective also; he just makes it work. He really does. He's trying different things and making everything look amazing.
There is this place in Nashville called Steak and Shake, which is pretty much the best food, ever. That is our secret, sexy place to go. When I look over at her when she's biting into a steak sandwich and there is some steak sauce dripping down her chin, there is nothing sexier.
As the younger brother, I think you always have crushes on your older brothers girlfriends.
Volleyball was the hardest thing Ive ever had to do.
I'm all about working with directors that are doing different techniques and I think everyone has their way of getting it to the place that they think is best.
I'm pretty outdoorsy. My family used to live in the hills in the middle of nowhere pretty much. We literally used to have bow and arrows and air rifles and were throwing knives.
If you put the work in, and you show that you're willing to work hard, you'll succeed.
I learn more with every job and I'm thankful for where I am
Growing up, I lived a moderate lifestyle with my family.
