After seeing Josh Hutcherson on the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards, we had to bump him up from Up-and-Coming Hollywood Cutie to Crush of the Week. The 19-year-old has been named “The One to Watch in 2012″ by MTV and not only do we agree,  we’re sure we’re to have a great time watching him. The Kentucky native—who moved to Cali to seek out acting opportunities—has not one but four movies coming out in 2012. Besides The Hunger Games, in which he plays Peeta, a tribute from District 12, he will also appear in Red Dawn, a remake of a thriller from the 80′s, Carmel, and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, the sequel to the 2008 sci-fi adventure flick Journey to the Center of the Earth. Josh doesn’t seem to mind a crazy promoting and shooting schedule, telling MTV that “2012 is going to be a really big year [and] I’m looking forward to it, [There's going to be] a lot of press, a lot of traveling with that. I’m excited for ‘The Hunger Games’ to come out and see how that does and hopefully get started on the second one.” The nineteen year old also prides himself on the movies that he’s been in and counts himself lucky to not have been in any movies that “suck.” “That’s the most important thing for my career,” he told MTV “to choose the right material and to choose the characters that I care about and stories I want to tell. So that’s kind of how I’ve gone about my career since I was 9, more or less.” Luckily for us, all the hype surrounding The Hunger Games has led to Josh doing some great interviews, including sharing his fear of spiders, his love of basketball and what he looks for in a girl. He told Celebuzz, “ For me it’s all about being true to yourself and being real. I think if a girl tries to be something she’s not to try to make you think otherwise of her, then that’s just unattractive. I’d much rather be with somebody that’s naturally who they are.” There you have it ladies, be yourselves, and our Crush of the Week just might love you as much as we love him.
