<p>It was a love-fest when <strong>Liam Hemsworth</strong> (<em>The Last Song</em>) and <strong>Josh Hutcherson</strong> (<em>The Kids Are All Right</em>) learned they&#8217;d landed the roles of Gale and Peeta, respectively. The guys first met after Hutcherson worked with Hemsworth&#8217;s big brother, Chris, on an upcoming remake of <em>Red Dawn</em>. Says Hutcherson, &#8221;I sent him a text: &#8216;Dude, we have <em>The Hunger Games</em>! I&#8217;m so stoked, man, this is awesome!&#8221;&#8217;</p>

<p>Hutcherson and <strong>Lawrence </strong>have become playful friends, but he&#8217;s a little concerned about the payback she might give him for a prank he played on her.  &#8221;I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;s going to pay me back,&#8221; says Hutcherson. &#8221;I&#8217;m just terrified because she&#8217;s someone I can see taking it to the next level, and somebody could get hurt.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Hemsworth</strong> and <strong>Hutcherson </strong>may be rivals on screen, but they bonded hard during their weeks on set together. &#8221;I think it&#8217;s going to blow people&#8217;s minds when they see that Peeta and Gale are actually best friends in real life,&#8221; says Hutcherson.</p>
