Liam Hemsworth will be in the cover of the September issue of Men’s Health. In this issue Liam answers questions about Expendables 2, training for The Hunger Games and Miley Cyrus. Here’s just a little bit of his interview:

On the star-studded cast of The Expendables 2: ”There wasn’t the testosterone or ego you might expect on a set like that. Everyone was so cool and professional.”

On the moment when Jean-Claude Van Damme unexpectedly kicked him in the chest during the filming of The Expendables 2: ”It was a present from him, in a weird way. I was honored to be kicked by him.”

On his grueling workouts with a Navy SEAL and following the Paleo Diet to prepare for his role in The Hunger Games: ”My character was spending most of his life in a state of hunger, and I wanted to get a sense of that, physically and mentally.”

On training for The Hunger Games: ”I literally had to wait a half hour after each session before I drove anywhere, I had to lay on the ground until I could breathe properly again.”

We all know what actors play what role in The Hunger Games but what did they do before they were tributes? Next Movie has given us a description of some of our main tributes’ previous work. Here are just a couple:

Josh Hutcherson

District 12′s duo is equally strong in the way of film resumes. Hutcherson really impressed with his part in “The Kids Are All Right,” tapping into his sensitive side (Hello, Peeta!), but he also shows he can hack it in the wild unknown in his latest, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,” in theaters this weekend.

Amandla Stenberg

Little Rue is not to be underestimated in the Games, and neither is Stenberg. In “Colombiana,” she played a kid who grows up to be Zoe Saldanakept ‘em all guessing and was not particularly easy to catch up with. Sound familiar? If you want a preview of the quiet bravery Stenberg’ll bring to “The Hunger Games” this March, look no further than that movie.

Isabelle Fuhrman

Fuhrman’s already scared the daylights out of us on-screen as Esther in 2009′s “Orphan.” Watch that thriller, and you’ll have no doubt that Fuhrman can bring it as District Two’s sinister she-tribute Clove in “The Hunger Games.”

Check out the rest of the descriptions HERE.

And FYI, if you haven’t seen Columbiana, Amandla Stenberg is in the first half, and she’s awesome!

NextMovie has compiled a photo gallery of the 30 Actors to watch in 2012. They all have great movies coming out this year, and our two leading men are on this list.

Josh Hutcherson

Starring in: ”Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” (Feb. 10)’; “The Hunger Games” (March 23); “Red Dawn” (Nov. 2)

Why It’s a Big Year: Hutcherson has been acting since he was 9, but 2012 looks like his career high. With a hat trick featuring one family-friendly sequel, one gritty ’80s remake and one teen-lit phenomenon, Hutcherson is set to catch fire, particularly as the irresistibly sweet male lead Peeta Mellark in “The Hunger Games.”

Liam Hemsworth

Starring in: ”The Hunger Games” (March 23); “The Expendables 2″ (Aug. 17)
Why It’s a Big Year: With “The Hunger Games,” Hemsworth will finally move out of brother Chris and girlfriend Miley’s shadows. The Aussie hunk has thousands of fans anxiously waiting to see him play Gale, heroine Katniss Everdeen’s best friend, in the dystopian thriller. Plus, he’ll star opposite Stallone & co. in the “Expendables” sequel.

There are many aspects of the book fans hope to see in the movie. The relationship between Katniss & Gale, and the relationship that grows between Katniss & Peeta are definitely must sees. But will those relationships be more intense than the books? Celebuzz wrote about a Life & Style story that states

In their story, L&S reports that to make the first movie a bit more interesting, “scenes have been added in to give the heartthrob a larger role on-screen and make the love triangle steamier and a bigger aspect early on in the franchise.” That will surely make the love triangle between hotties Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth that much more fun to watch.

Say it isn’t so! The story is already interesting enough! Making the love triangle “steamier” will be a huge mistake! The love story in The Hunger Games is not the focus. And if you didn’t already read the books (SPOILER ALERT!), pretty much any scene involving Katniss and Peeta kissing is fraut with uncertainty and knowledge that intimacy=gifts from sponsors. Doesn’t exactly sound “steamy,” does it? And the Katniss/Gale relationship isn’t really more than friendship (that we know of) in the first book.

Let’s just hope the steaminess is being exaggerated, because, let’s face it, Life & Style isn’t exactly the most reliable source. Just keep your fingers crossed.

What do you think? Should the relationships stay as they are in the book, or do they need more steam to make the movie more interesting?
