For all you young tweenie boppers out there who just can’t seem to get why we are obsessed with more mature gents like Chris Hemsworth and Jon Hamm, this one’s for you…

We never thought of Josh Hutcherson as being any sort of teen sex icon, what with his roles in the ‘Journey’ movies, ‘Bridge to Tarabitha’ and that ‘Jumangi’-like space movie ‘Zathura.’ Needless to say, none of those made the teenagers swoon as much as they did for ‘Twilight.’ But ‘The Hunger Games’ could actually be a turning point in both his career and image.

The 20-year-old clearly beefed up a bit to play Peeta Mellark opposite Jennifer Lawrence, and even though he hasn’t reached the same level of hunkiness as Liam Hemsworth, we certainly see him becoming the heartthrob of the younger generations. Just check out those guns!
