Josh Hutcherson wants to eat human flesh.
The 22-year-old actor has admitted he would love to chow down on another human being if it wasn’t such a taboo, but only if the person he was going to eat hadn’t been killed to specifically feed his cannibalism cravings.
He said: ”I don’t want somebody to die for me to eat them.
”However, if someone happened to die from natural causes and it was not so taboo … I’m curious.
”I want to know what it tastes like. Like you want to know what a pigeon tastes like, you know, except it’s a human. We’re all animals.”
While he is keen to get his teeth into another human, his ‘Hunger Games’ co-star Jennifer Lawrence looks to be safe as Josh – whose character Peeta Mellark is romantically involved with Jennifer’s alter-ego Katniss Everdeen in the franchise – admits he has never been sexually attracted to the 24-year-old beauty.
He added to GQ magazine: ”If we were at all sexually attracted to each other, it would be the most intense relationship in the world.
”But there’s never been an ounce of that between us. It’s been brother and sister from the beginning.”
Josh leapt to Jennifer’s defense in September when he hit out at hackers who had leaked nude photos of the stunner online.
He said: ”I just think all that stuff is so ridiculous.
”We’re people to, man, we just want to live, we want to be normal people, it’s not fair.”
