I also surround myself with good people who keep me and bring the best out of me. I don't generally hang out with crazy people.
Well, I have chlamydia. Thanks for this, Mom. Good class.
I don't consider myself a heartthrob in any way. I'm just pinching myself. I'm truly fortunate to be a part of this whole process.
As an actor, I'm always looking for scripts that I relate to, in some way, and things that are interesting and different. If it's combining romance and action, I'm not missing out on anything. I get to do it all.
I used to have an afro like Will Ferrell in Semi-Pro. It was bleached blond from the sun. I was tall and awkward. I was not cool.
Ninety percent of my best friends back home are plumbers, electricians, builders, or landscapers. Most of our dads worked in trades.
I've very fortunate to come from a great family who are extremely supportive of me and I'll always have them to fall back on.
We all make mistakes, and it's not until we make mistakes that we learn.
One of the biggest inspirations before I started shooting came from my brother, when he texted me and said, 'Hey, fatty, it's called 'The Hunger Games', not 'The Eating Games'. So I started working out a lot more and eating a lot less.
I feel like anything I'm doing in life, I try to stay myself and be as honest and true as I can be, you know, and be a nice person. I've always been taught to be kind to people and have an open mind about life.
Honestly, I'm not an extravagant person, I don't spend a lot of money.
I think a good thing to always remember is to just keep your head on straight and don't lose your feet.
The first few years in L.A. were really tough and scary, but I had to figure things out for myself.
'The Hunger Games' takes place in Panem, a country which is part of America. It's post-apocalyptic. There's been a global war. The Panem country is what remains of this hugely destructive war.
