Josh Hutcherson has revealed a set secret about "Hunger Games" co-star Jennifer Lawrence.
The 21-year-old actor recently told Cosmopolitan that Lawrence is a good kisser, PEOPLE reports via MTV UK.
"She's a great kisser--so, yup, the bar is high," Hutcherson said.
He was fairly assured on his own kissing skills as well, telling the magazine, "On a scale of one to 10, I could be in the upper nines. Eight-and-three-quarters to nine-and-a-half. God, just give a regular answer! Why do I have to be so complicated?"
Hutcherson and Lawrence will next be seen locking lips in "Catching Fire," the second "Hunger Games" installment that will hit theaters later this month. The pair are real-life friends as well as co-stars. While Hutcherson wouldn't say if there's anything more, he didn't completely deny the possibility.
"She's definitely many a man's desire," Hutcherson said of Lawrence. "For me, she's like a best friend and a sister, so it's a little bit incestuous."
Hutcherson, who plays Peeta Mellark in "The Hunger Games" films, spoke about their friendship to Glamour magazine last month, E! reported.
"There are times when we've had to cut [while filming]," he said, "because we can't get through a take without laughing."
"Jennifer and I were nervous about our new costars because we're kind of crazy when we're together, so it can be a little scary for the new people," he added. "But everybody jumped right in. It was a fun vibe on set."
"Catching Fire" will be released on Nov. 22. Lionsgate premiered a new one-minute TV spot for the film this week, set to "We Remain" by Christina Aguilera, a song featured on the movie soundtrack.
The teaser focuses on the relationships that drive the "Catching Fire" story, said The Hollywood Reporter.
As the sequel drums up interest, some insiders believe the film could pass the $175 million mark in its opening weekend.
