Jennifer Lawrence told Entertainment Weekly that when she was 14 she went to New York to try to make it big. And when she had a tough time trying to land jobs, she was inspired by an article she read about fellos Kentucky native Josh Hutcherson, who is now her HG co-star!

She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, “I was like, ‘Look, see? He’s from Kentucky and he made it. I can do it too.’

“And, weirdly, it helped them accept that this is what I wanted to do.”
