American actor Josh Hutcherson gained worldwide fame relatively recently.

cherished dream
Joshua Ryan Hutcherson was born on October 12, 1992 in the provincial town of Union in Kentucky. Her father, Chris Hutcherson, was an environmental analyst, and her mother, Michelle, worked for Delta Air Lines. Josh has a younger brother, Connor, who is also an actor. As a child, the boys played family performances for dad, mom and their tailed living creatures - 2 dogs and 2 cats.
From the age of 4, Josh desperately wanted to be an actor. His idols were Jake Gyllenhaal. However, in his hometown, he had no chance of success. When the boy grew up a little, the family heeded his pleas and moved to California, where young Josh was able to go to auditions. Mom quit her job and began to help him with his career. The dedication of his parents paid off with a vengeance - Josh did not become new, but his natural charm did not dissipate after adolescence.
Josh Hutcherson voiced the cartoons "Howl's Moving Castle", "The Polar Express" and "Epic".
Josh started acting at the age of 10. Because of the filming, the boy switched to home schooling. He played in "House Blend" and "Becoming Glen" and one of the episodes of the famous "ER" that made it a star. In 2003, the aspiring actor starred in the biopic American Splendor, in the TV movie Wild Days with Peter Falk, and in the TV series Line of Fire. He also remembered the audience in the funny television series "Wonder Dogs" (2003). Soon the young talent began to receive more and more serious roles.
Bridge to Hollywood
In 2004, the little actor played TJ in the comedy Moto Track Kings. The year 2005 was marked by a number of impressive works for Josh: the sports comedy "Hit and Scream", the drama "The Last Ride", the urban romance "Little Manhattan", where his character Gabe is experiencing the hardships of first love, and the sci-fi "Zatura: Space Journey" , in which his sister played. On the set of Little Manhattan, Josh had his first kiss. His co-star in the film was named Charlie Ray.
In 2006, the actor presented the world with no less interesting projects: the eccentric comedy "Madhouse on Wheels", playing the role of Robin Williams' son, the family film "Fire Dog" and the poignant fantasy drama "Bridge to Terabithia". Jesse Aarons, Josh's character in The Bridge, clearly has artistic talent. But his poor family considers the passion for drawing a whim that needs to be thrown out of their heads. At school, Jesse meets a new student, Leslie (AnnaSophia Robb), who opens the door for him to a dreamland filled with imagination. However, forays into the mysterious Terabithia end very tragically. Critics praised both the film itself and the deep acting of Josh Hutcherson. At the same time, before being approved for the role, Josh was not familiar with the book by Katherine Paterson, on which the film was made. It must be admitted that the young artist was especially successful in the role of closed teenagers, although in life he is his own guy.
In 2008, Hutcherson won the Young Artist Award for Best Young Actor. In the same year, for the first time in his life, he was in Italy, where his new film was being shot. A rapidly maturing Josh played in a loose adaptation of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth. This adventure film with Brendan Fraser collected a good box office and got a sequel in 2012. Also in 2008, Josh starred in the drama Lifetime Flight.
In 2009, Josh tried on the role of the main character's friend in the movie "The Story of a Vampire". In the company of Julianne Moore and Anette Benning, the young actor appeared in the world-famous film The Kids Are All Right (2010), dedicated to an unconventional family. In 2011, Hutcherson starred in the youth thriller Punishment as the main character's sigh.
Participation in the blockbuster "The Hunger Games"
The Hunger Games, the first part of which was released in 2012, gave the guy's career a new impetus. In the acclaimed film adaptation of Susan Collins' fantasy books about a totalitarian future, Josh plays the role of Pete Mellark, the son of a baker. The lyrical hero once saved the main character Katniss Everdeen () from starvation and is generally in love with her head over heels, albeit unrequitedly. Together they represent their native District 12 on a brutal reality show that the government both entertains and intimidates the people with. To win over viewers and especially sponsors (they can send useful gizmos at the right time), Katniss decides to feign love between her and Peeta, when in fact she likes the hunter Gabe, who is waiting for her at home.
This love triangle is destined to develop four films against the backdrop of popular uprisings, political upheavals, etc. Katniss is torn apart between the handsome Gabe, who calls her to live in the woods, and the noble sufferer Pete. For the role of a reliable baker, personifying the salt of the earth, Hutcherson required a thorough physical preparation and hydrogen peroxide - in the book, Pete has blond hair. Everything else was a breeze:
Pete is very similar to me. As soon as I started reading the book, I recognized myself in every line. If I didn't get this role, it would be sad. I would think: Am I really such a bad actor that I can't play myself?
For his Pete, Hutcherson was inundated with MTV awards. By the way, at one time the guy participated in the popular show "MTV Cribs", where they inspect the houses of celebrities with relish.

New roles
Josh continues to star in The Hunger Games, which hit theaters every fall, but does not forget about other projects. In 2012, Hutcherson appeared in The Elusives, a military drama about young partisans, a remake of the 1985 classic Red Dawn. In this picture, he played with Chris Hemsworth. Also in 2012, he appeared in the film almanac Havana I Love You and the independent film Carmel with Lauren Beckall about art forgery. She acted as his girlfriend.
In 2011, the actor joined the "Straight But Not Narrow" campaign against homophobia among teenagers with a traditional sexual orientation. For a long time, Josh lived with his parents in Kentucky, and in 2012, a young actor bought a mansion for $3 million, which belonged to Heath Ledger.
For some time, the dark-haired handsome man met with actress Vanessa Hudgens, whom he met in 2012 while working on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Now he is noticed with another sultry beauty, this time Claudia Traisak. The couple met in 2014 on the set of Paradise Lost, where Claudia played Josh's love interest. Unlike other celebrities, the guy does not hide from the paparazzi, for him the attention of the public is not a burden.
Joshua Ryan Hutcherson (full name of the actor) admits that he knew about his vocation at the age of two, when he poked his finger at the artists on the TV screen and said: “I will do that too!” And as he grew older, he loved to entertain others by portraying characters from the Indiana Jones and Star Wars epics.
Josh was lucky with his family - his parents strongly supported the boy in his desire to become an actor. Already at the age of nine, he began acting in the TV series ER. For the sake of her son's career, his mother Michelle quit her job and became Josh's personal assistant. The first major role for the 11-year-old boy was the role of Gabe in the film "Little Manhattan". Hutcherson so convincingly played a schoolboy in love with a classmate that he received critical praise, and personnel assistants drew attention to him. Josh began acting a lot and after the film "Bridge to Terabithia" (2007) has already acquired fans. On the set of the picture, 15-year-old Josh became friends with AnnaSophia Robb, who was a year younger than him. They are still friends.
The real finest hour of the actor came in 2012, when the blockbuster The Hunger Games was released, where Josh played one of the main roles - Pete Mellark.
Hutcherson admitted that when he read Suzanne Collins' novel The Hunger Games, he dreamed of playing Pete Mellark. It so happened that the director Francis Lawrence offered him this particular role. Film frame
“I had to gain 15 pounds of muscle mass,” he recalls, “and I have not tried this yet. It was necessary to consume more protein and less carbohydrates. I went to the gym - worked on different muscle groups. I was trained by a former commando who, in a good way, wanted to “pump” me to death.”
The effort was worth it - after the first weekend, the film grossed over $150 million at the box office.
By the age of 23, Hutcherson's track record includes more than 30 films, and he is actively filming - his work schedule is scheduled for several years in advance.
“I choose roles based on the script,” Josh says, “and also look at who I have to work with. I would love to star with, I like all his films. He is very thoughtful about the roles."
Many colleagues could say the same about Hutcherson himself. Already at the age of 19, Josh tried himself as a producer, working on the film Punishment. The next film, where he was also an executive producer, was "" (2014).
Girls, dogs and cats
After the release of the first "Hunger Games" Hutcherson was credited with an affair with the lead actress. However, there is no relationship other than friendship between them.
“We are both from Kentucky,” says Josh, “so we immediately began to understand each other perfectly. Jennifer is my friend and sister. And she's a great kisser," adds the actor, laughing, "but I'm not far behind: on a scale of one to ten, I think I'm a nine. Well, maybe eight and three-quarters to nine and a half."
By the way, “a friend and sister” once on the set, when they boxed as a joke, accidentally hit Josh in the temple so that he almost got a concussion.
At the time of filming The Hunger Games, Hutcherson already had a girlfriend - actress Vanessa Hudgens, whom he met while working on the film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012). Josh and Vanessa spent their free time together, riding a motorcycle and walking with Hutcherson's dogs, Diesel and Nixon. By the way, two cats live in the Hutcherson family - Paus and Jell-O. Josh loves to be at home with his parents and younger brother Connor. They sometimes go hiking and travel.
However, Josh did not have a long relationship with Vanessa, they parted as friends. And already in 2013, on the set of Paradise Lost, Hutcherson met Spanish actress Claudia Tresac.

“Long distance relationships are not easy, but we try,” says Josh. - To be honest, now it's much easier for me to meet with actresses than to date girls from the outside. With colleagues I have the same rhythm of life, common interests, and therefore excellent mutual understanding. None of them are going to make a scene because I had to play love on screen and kiss another girl."
Claudia even reacted calmly to the fact that at one of the press conferences Hutcherson said that he wanted to get acquainted with passion.
However, Claudia has nothing to worry about: Emma Watson is not in the four films in which Josh is and will be filming in the next three years.

Biography of Josh Hutcherson
Childhood dream
Before the "Bridge to Terabithia" the boy already had some pretty serious work. He dreamed of the profession of an actor from early childhood, which is already surprising, because mostly girls dream of becoming an artist.
Josh Ryan was born on October 12, 1992 in the provincial town (15 thousand inhabitants) Union. It was an ordinary family: mother, who worked in an airline, father, an employee of an environmental organization. When Josh was three and a half years old, his younger brother Connor was born. Inspired by the example of Josh, he also tried his hand at acting, but not so successfully.
And the future star of the Hunger Games appeared on television even before his 10th birthday. And at 11, he made his debut in a "big" movie. In the drama American Splendor, starring Paul Giamatti, Josh didn't have much screen time. But the film by independent directors Berman and Pulcini was noticed - it was even nominated for an Oscar for the screenplay. So it could be considered a good start.
brilliant breakthrough
Sounding cartoons is not such an easy job: it happens that even adult performers get lost at the microphone. And Josh did a great job, despite his young age (he worked on the animated film Howl's Moving Castle, which had a chance in 2006 to win an Academy Award).
The following roles - in the fantastic film "Zatura: A Space Adventure", in the comedy with Robin Williams "Madhouse on Wheels" - proved that the guy is able to work successfully in different genres. And "Bridge to Terabithia" with its complex psycho-emotional mood finally confirmed the extraordinary talent of this short provincial boy. It was a story about a tender friendship (or rather, even falling in love) between two teenagers (the second main role went to AnnaSophia Robb) with an unexpectedly sad ending, which is not very typical for films of this kind. Newly made friends will discover a wonderful world, but life sometimes presents such terrible surprises!
When you have two mothers
If roles in the family comedy “Fire Dog” or another fantasy (“Journey to the Center of the Earth”) can be considered “passing”, this cannot be said about the drama “The Kids Are All Right”. The picture was nominated for 4 Oscars and received 2 Golden Globes and told about a happy family in which everything seemed to be fine - with one exception. The brother and sister (Hutcherson and Wasikowska) are raised by two mothers (short-haired Nick-Annette Benning and red-haired, with a porcelain complexion, Jules-Julianne Moore). And the maturing Lazer so wants to get to know his father (in fact, he is not a father, but just a donor). This is where all the problems start...
Cult dystopia
The picture, taken on the wave of general "vampire mania", did not turn out to be something masterpiece. But John Hutcherson in it (simplely titled "The Story of a Vampire") was good.
And in 2012, the blockbuster The Hunger Games hit the box office. The dystopia grossed $691.2 million (with $78 million spent), and Josh was one of the leads. Well, as they say, "the claw is stuck - the whole bird is abyss." The first film was followed by an equally successful sequel, Hutcherson was busy in the franchise until 2015 (until the denouement).
Personal life of Josh Hutcherson
Sports, animals and, of course, work!
Josh is a sports guy, loves to travel, is fond of football and triathlon, not averse to frolic in bowling. Dogs and cats have always lived in his house, not very long ago he became the owner of a wounded puppy, whom he went out and sheltered.
At 22, it’s too early to think about marriage, especially when a career is gaining momentum so rapidly. True, he already has somewhere to bring his chosen one: Josh has become the new owner of a spacious house. He chose this mansion not by chance - the property belonged to Heath Ledger, and Hutcherson has great respect for the work of a colleague who died so early. His other idol is Jake Gyllenhaal.
There were rumors that during the work on the film "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" Josh became close to Vanessa Hudgens, but if this was a romance, it was fleeting.
After the premiere of the film "Paradise Lost" with the participation of Hutcherson, his name was associated with Claudia Traisak (she played the role of the girl of the hero Josh). Perhaps the lovers are still together. Although actor Josh Hutcherson is still an "official" bachelor.
