Josh Hutcherson misses hanging out with Liam Hemsworth.
The 22-year-old actor has admitted that he will miss his 'Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1' co-star Liam now that the franchise has finished filming.
Josh - who plays Peeta Mellark in the movie - said: "I'm gonna miss coming back to basecamp and seeing Liam's door, his trailer door open and just being to jump right in there. Listen to some music, chill out, eat some trail mix.
"We still spend a lot of time together. Just not 13 hours at a time."
His filming buddy Liam - who plays Gale Hawthorne - revealed that he misses his best friend and their leading lady Jennifer Lawrence.
When asked what he misses the most, the 24-year-old actor told Digital Spy: "Just hanging out together. We're so fortunate to become such good friend throughout it. Jen, Josh and I, it will be sad not to spend that much time together."
The boys also praised the fans who take the time to wait outside the film premieres.
Liam said: "I think when anyone is that excited to meet you, it's flattering. It's odd at first but it's really nice that someone's that happy to meet you."
Talking about awards season, Stanley Tucci - who plays Caesar Flickerman - made a bid for his character to host the annual Academy Awards show.

Jean-Marc Vallée "cried like a baby" after reading 'Wild' for the first time.
The 51-year-old director admits he felt a deep connection to author Cheryl Strayed before signing on to help turn her best-selling biography into the new movie starring Reese Witherspoon.
The Canadian filmmaker said: "It's about this mother-daughter relationship. I had a mother who is so close to Cheryl's mother, and I lost her to cancer three years ago. I cried like a baby when I read the book - it was like I was finishing mourning.
"I knew not only that I had strong, beautiful material, but that I had the kind of material that allows a director to play, to treat the medium like a toy."
Meanwhile, the 'Dallas Buyers Club' director admits he is still surprised by the success he has achieved in his career so far.
He told the Holiday 2014 issue of MEN's FASHION magazine: "I'm on a roll in my professional life. It's crazy - I'm living the dream."
Despite carving out a career in Hollywood, Jean has no desire to relocate from Montreal to Los Angeles.
He said: "I live in Montreal. I'm gone only three months when I shoot, then I do the post-production back in Montreal. It's my home, it's my town, it's my family, it's my place - I will never move and I don't want to move."

Bette Midler says the original 'Hocus Pocus' cast is on-board for a sequel.
The 68-year-old actress starred in the 1993 movie along with Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimi, and claims the cast have badgered Disney to create a sequel but to no avail so far.
Suggesting that she had already approached the company about the idea, she said: "You have to go to send in your cards to the Walt Disney Company. The ball is in their court."
The star played witch Winifred 'Winnie' Sanderson in the Halloween-themed movie and expressed her hope that fans will campaign for the cast to reunite for another film.
In a Reddit AMA interview, she said: "Inundate the Disney Company, because I have canvassed the girls [Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimi] and they are willing to do it, but we have no say in it, so if you want a 'Hocus Pocus 2', ask the Walt Disney Company."
The actress has previously revealed that her role in the film is one of the things she is most proud of in her entire career, telling E! News: "I actually think it's the best thing I ever did
"I mean I've done a lot of stuff. I've done a lot in my life. I'm very proud of certain roles that I've played."
In July, movie news website Deadline quashed rumours that Tina Fey would be starring in a sequel to the cult movie, after being announced for a project currently named 'Untitled Witch Project' which was confirmed to be unrelated to the classic film.

William H. Macy has joined the cast of 'Room'.
The 'Wild Hogs' star has signed up to star in the movie adaptation of Emma Donoghue's novel alongside Joan Allen, Jacob Tremblay and Brie Larson.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the screenplay for the film has been written by Donoghue with Lenny Abrahamson directing.
The novel - which was published in 2010 - tells the story of a mother, played by Larson and son Jack, played by Tremblay, who plot to escape from the 10-by-10ft room they are kept in by a man known only as Old Nick.
Sean Bridgers, Tom McCamus and Megan Park are also set to join the cast of the drama.
William recently confessed he had "fallen in love" with the film industry "all over again" after getting involved in directing.
The 64-year-old actor - who made his directorial debut on upcoming comedy-drama 'Rudderless' - confessed he's glad he made the decision to get behind the camera so late in life because it's renewed his love for movies.
He explained: "We all know directors who, having done the most brilliant work early in their career, eventually start to flag and get worse.
"They lose touch with the world and work in a vacuum. But because I'm starting in my 60s, I'm approaching it with a humility I wouldn't otherwise have had.
"On the one hand, I'm scared half to death, which means that I listen to people. And on the other, it's as though I've fallen in love with the business all over again."

Charlie Hunnam says 'Fifty Shades of Grey' would've been a "disaster" if he'd taken on the lead role.
The 'Sons of Anarchy' star had signed up to play Christian Grey in the film adaptation of E.L. James' erotic novel but stepped down because of his commitments to the FOX series and he's now confessed he doesn't think he'd have been able to play both characters with such little time in between.
He explained: "I was going to finish playing a psychopath who'd just lost his wife [in Sons], and five days later I'd be on set playing Christian Grey.
"I was like, 'This is going to be a f**king disaster'. It was the opposite of how I've tried to ground my career, not stretch myself too thin, and always do my homework."
The 34-year-old actor went on to explain that "there's a tendency in this Hollywood machinery to take on too much. You end up not being able to give everything you want."
He added to Men's Health magazine: "Since I was young, I've been aware that I need time to myself to process everything."
The seventh and final series of 'Sons of Anarchy', in which Hunnam stars Jackson 'Jax' Teller, is set to conclude next month.
Meanwhile, 'Once Upon a Time' actor Jamie Dornan is set to star as Grey alongside Dakota Johnson as his student lover Anastasia Steele when 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is released on Valentine's Day next year.

Universal has acquired the rights to 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2'.
The sequel to the 2002 comedy - which was distributed by IFC Films - has been taken over by the studios who are set to release the movie in the US and much of the rest of the world, reports Empire.
The movie - which was first announced back in May - will see star and screenwriter Nia Vardalos reprise her role as Toula Portokalos, although she has since been replaced as director by 'Nanny McPhee's' Kirk Jones.
Nia will be joined in the follow up by John Corbett - who played her love interest in the original - and previously said she's ready to take on the project since she's "experiencing motherhood" after she adopted a daughter, Ilaria, with husband Ian Gomez.
Vardolas wrote on Twitter: "I'm working on the MBFGWedding sequel; now that I'm experiencing motherhood I feel ready to write this next chapter.
"A few jaded press corps will claim I ran out of money or just want to kiss John Corbett again. One of these things is true. (sic)"
Later she added: "Re: #MyBigFatGreekWedding2, thank you for the love, yes the entire big fat family is invited back for the sequel. (sic)"
Vardalos has written the script for the project and the plot involves a "bigger and fatter" wedding than that in the first film
Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks will produce with Gary Goetzman.
'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' received generally positive reviews and was a box office success and grossing over $368.7 million worldwide.

Mark Wahlberg's lips "turned blue" after he lost 60 pounds for his role in 'The Gambler'.
The 43-year-old actor gambled with his health after he dramatically lost 60 pounds for his role as Jim Bennett, a high-stakes gambler who has a run in with a gangster loan shark.
Talking about his decision to lose the weight, Mark said: "I went from 197 to - the lightest I'd ever been in a movie was in 'Boogie Nights', I was 138 - so I wanted to beat that.
"I beat it by a pound, so 137. I was losing weight while we were shooting the movie too, so continuity kind of went out of the window.
"[I had] no energy, no nutrition, and the studio, there was a complaint about that, that my lips were always looking blue.
"What the f**k do you want me to do? I haven't eaten anything! If you make them red, I'm going to look weird, like I've got lipstick on, so it is what it is."
When asked how he managed such a dramatic loss, Mark told US magazine: "Once I get into it I can't stop, so it's a 24 hour, seven days a week thing.
"I stopped eating food for the first six weeks and just had small liquids throughout the day, then I was exercising two or three times a day."
However, the newly slimmed down actor revealed that his wife Rhea Dunham, 36, and their four children - Ella, 11, Michael, eight, Brendan, six and four-year-old Grace - were too happy with his transformation.
He shared: "They didn't like it. My wife was a little freaked out, I was losing so much weight. I'm training now for this other thing and my daughter's like, ' You should quit your job, you should become a body builder.' She's just being sarcastic. She's probably heard her mother say something."

Donald Sutherland hopes 'The Hunger Games' will make young people more politically active.
The 79-year-old actor believes that the franchise - which sees a series of districts attempt to overthrow a dictatorship - is inspiring for youngsters, and hopes it will encourage Americans to vote in the presidential election in two years' time.
At a press conference on Sunday (09.11.14), the star told BANG Showbiz: "I hope that these four films cause young people to go to the voting booths and vote in 2016, and choose somebody, anybody, who will satisfy them, and vote for them, because if they don't, we're lost."
The star plays Panem ruler President Coriolanus Snow in the franchise and explained that he only agreed to act in the series of films - based on the novels by Suzanne Collins - because of the political message of social change which builds throughout the movies.
He explained: "When I came aboard this project, I came aboard it for one specific reason - I thought that it could be a catalyst for young people who had been dormant for a generation or two, particularly in the United States.
"I hope that this film will in some way create or help generate a leader. Put young people together in a way that they'll understand, for example, that the character that I play is an oligarch which exists, particularly in the United States but certainly in the Western world, and they need to be brought to account. And I hope that these films will educate people about that.
"I have to be truthful, I'm waiting for the release of 'Mockingjay Part 2' and I'm hoping by that time that audiences everywhere around the world, of young people, will recognise their obligation to change the government, just so long as it happens before 2016."

Anna Kendrick's Cinderella in 'Into The Woods' is different to "most versions" of the character.
The 29-year-old actress stars alongside Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and Chris Pine in the new Disney adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's stage musical of the same name.
Anna - who's previously appeared in 'The Twilight Saga' - explained: "The character is thoughtful and complicated. You see what happens after she marries the prince, when you start to face problems in seemingly perfect situations.
"The interesting thing about her is she overthinks things. She's uncertain. We don't see that in most versions.
"In a lot of ways, I think it's this incredibly brave story. She's neglected and abused her entire life. She finally gets love, and it's not the kind of love she was looking for. And she stands up for herself."
The brunette beauty also revealed she's decided to take a break from filming movies, telling Marie Claire magazine: "The whole going-movie-to-movie-to-movie thing, I've been living that way for three years. I need to be a person and maintain relationships."
'Into The Woods' - which also stars British actor James Corden - is released next month.
