Josh Hutcherson has revealed that he feels that he is a lot like his new character Peeta.
The actor is set to join an all star cast as Suzanne Collins' novel The Hunger Games has been adapted for the big screen.
And the young actor admits that he sees a lot of himself in that character - but that doesn't mean that it didn't have it's challenges.
Speaking to New York Magazine the actor said: "I feel like I'm a lot like Peeta, and I don't know what I would have done if I didn't get the part.
"Wouldn't I be a bad actor if I couldn't play myself? I think one of my biggest struggles was getting Peeta to be as strong as possible.
"He can come across a little soft - because he's admitting his love for Katniss, and he's sensitive.
"But he's got a backbone. He's got strong beliefs. He's a people person. And we have the same sense of humour."
The movie also stars Jennifer Lawrence, Stanley Tucci and Liam Hemsworth and is set to be one of the first must see movies of 2012.
The Hunger Games is released 23rd March.
