Josh Hutcherson has said early success shielded him from real setbacks, and that he didn’t feel the sting of failure or disappointment until adulthood.
The former child star was just nine when he landed his on-screen debut in the 2002 TV movie House Blend. From there, his success snowballed with roles in Bridge to Terabithia, Because of Winn-Dixie and Little Manhattan. By 18, he was cast opposite Jennifer Lawrence in the Hunger Games trilogy, an adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling dystopian series.
