Hemsworth has been a tabloid fixture in recent years because of his relationship with Miley Cyrus.

“I don’t know why people want to say things that aren’t true all the time about people. I don’t understand it but it happens,” added Peeta Mellark star Josh Hutcherson, who admits that appearing in ‘The Hunger Games’ series has changed his life “for good and bad”.

“It’s a different world, this ‘Hunger Games’ world. It’s changed my life, both for good and bad…  The fans really give you energy when you go to press events. They give you something to fight for. But at the same time it can be a little daunting.”

Moving into lighthearted territory, the chaps also told us who they thought was the most handsome member of the ‘Catching Fire” cast.

“President Snow”, says Liam, quick as a flash. He said he’s jealous of Donald Sutherland’s luxurious facial hair. “The white beard - he owns it,” agreed Josh.

“The greatest men of our times, Santa Claus, Dumbledore, Gandalf, all have white beards,” he added.

 
‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ is in cinemas now.
