In 2023, we are in desperate need of a Josh Hutcherson renaissance.
The former child actor starred in so many of our favorite childhood classics, including Bridge to Terabithia, Little Manhattan, Journey to the Center of the Earth and, of course, the Hunger Games films.
With The Hunger Games currently on streaming and a new installment on the horizon — The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is a prequel starring Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Hunter Schafer and more — it seems like the hit dystopian franchise is currently at the top of the pop culture nostalgia cycle.
Plus, Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth, two of the stars of the original four movies, are back in the spotlight, with the former starring in the new comedy No Hard Feelings and the latter joining The Witcher.
So, where’s Hutcherson? And what’s he been up to?
Read on to learn everything we know about Josh Hutcherson in 2023.
