Liam Hemsworth (who plays Gale), is on the cover and featured story in Details Magazine. It includes a interview, video Q&A, and pictures.
"In The Hunger Games, Liam stars as Gale, a brooding man-child suffering a serious case of heartache when his girl, Katniss, is shipped off to compete in the killer Olympics. It’s Liam—not Jennifer Lawrence—who is this film’s ingenue, a pretty young thing watching the hero do battle. “He’s so vital to understanding where she comes from,” says the film’s director, Gary Ross. “We need to feel for her and her connection to him.”
It’s hard to say how much pressure comes with fronting a franchise, especially when it could transform the guy who’s Thor’s brother and who walks Miley’s dog into Hollywood’s hottest young star. While Liam downplays such expectations, he concedes that he and his Hunger Gamescharacter share a certain helplessness. “Gale is someone who wants to stand up to this thing but can’t,” Liam says. “He’s pretty powerless.”
It’s a rare note of introspection—and then Liam is once again distracted by a squirrel climbing a tree. “Look! It’s like a cartoon,” he says, spotting another scampering rodent. “You’re not real!”
Liam said that no squirrels live in his home country of Australia, he was surprised to see one.
