Ω What Liam has said about Gale

What I thought was really interesting was—and it’s one of the hardest
things to think about: one of your best friends, or someone in your family,
basically going off to war. And that’s kind of what happens to Gale in the
first book. As much as he’s against the government and wants to stand up
to them, he really is helpless. He can’t do anything about it. … I just thought
it was such a gut-wrenching kind of thought.

It was always for Gale. I read the script, and Gale definitely felt more right
than Peeta.

He is extremely passionate about standing up for what he believes in, which
has always been a strong part of my life. Because of the consequences of
standing up to an evil government, he has to bite his lip and live with it.
I’ve definitely had times in my life where I’ve had to hold back what I
really want to say or do.

Ω What his co-stars have said about him

On first glance he’s such a hunk that it’s easy to ascribe a hunklike
simplicity to him. But this is a phenomenally subtle actor, totally in
control of what he was doing.
- Gary Ross

Let’s be honest, his Australian accent kills it. It’s an unfair advantage!
I’d give the lady points straight to Liam. Liam is epic, man.
- Josh Hutcherson

I met him, and he opened the door for me, and I was like, I have
been in L.A. for three years and I don't think any guy has actually
opened the door for me. It wasn't that he wanted the job. That's
just who he is. I was like, 'Wow, that is super-impressive.'
- Miley Cyrus

He’s super quiet but really nice and that’s exactly how I imagined
Gale being. And Josh was just so humble and so social and he’s super
nice! I didn’t know what to expect when I first met him but then I
was like, ‘This is perfect; He’s like… Gale!’. Anytime he came on set
he’d have this quiet, strong attitude and I felt like that was exactly
how Gale would be.
- Willow Shields

Gale is a young man who uses words very sparingly, so the onus was
on the actor we cast to capture him by showing, not telling. This was
accomplished so beautifully in Suzanne’s writing, and Liam was able to
translate it so naturally to the screen. At the same time, Gale’s journey
across the three books transforms him, and Liam’s performance left no
doubt that he would take us there.
- Nina Jacobson

Liam walked in and every woman in the room was ‘Wow.’ That unfortunately
was against him in the beginning, we were like, ‘Okay he’s just a hunk and
hot.’ Then he started to read and he was absolutely incredible. He was real,
he was authentic, he listened. He was an incredible actor.
- Jennifer Lawrence

Liam Hemsworth Talks The Hunger Games, J.Law, & Brothers

“If you put the work in, and you show that you’re willing to work hard, you’ll succeed. I feel that I often put in more work, and that is what separates me from the other people,” says actor Liam Hemsworth of his work ethic in his cover interview for NYLON Guys.

Hemsworth says growing up in Australia he and his brothers (actors Chris and Luke) played with rifles, bows and arrows handmade by their grandfather. “For some reason, my grandpa thought they would be good to give to us—we would just do stupid **** out in the bush.” Says Hemsworth, the youngest, “I think everyone agrees that I was the naughtiest as a kid. My uncles used to call me ‘Devil Child,’ or ‘Triple’ for triple six. They used to tell my brother Chris that they were going to get the demons out of him because he was also a little crazy. But to me, they’d just be like, ‘You’re too far gone. There’s no exorcising you anymore.’”

Of his Hunger Games castmates, Hemsworth says: “I’ve been friends with all these people for so many years now…. I’m so lucky to have Jennifer [Lawrence] and Josh [Hutcherson] and Woody [Harrelson] and all these other great people. We’ve created really strong bonds.” And of the fun on the set: “It’s like high school because we’ll mess around for half the day and then we’ll do a little bit of work. Everyone’s goofing around and trying to mess each other up.”

Adds The Hunger Games (Mockingjay –Part 1) director, Francis Lawrence, “Jen was hands down the biggest joker, but any time you had Liam in a scene with some combination of Jen, Josh, or Woody, there were going to be a lot of laughs.” And says Harrelson, “My rapport with Jen and Josh: We got on like a house fire. It was a longer process to get to know Liam. But it was only a matter of time before we were cracking each other up in scenes. We had to not look at each other or we’d mess up the shot.”

Hemsworth, 24, has already worked with an enviable group of A-list vets, telling NYLON Guys:
“Woody’s [Harrelson] like a little kid. “Me and Jen [Lawrence] always call him a Labrador because you throw something and he’ll fetch it. When he does turn it on, he’s got the most intense, crazy look in his eyes. He’s such a great actor, yet he can be so free and just have fun with the whole thing.”

“When we were on set [of Paranoia], I asked Harrison Ford if he ever doubted what he was doing or why he was doing it. He kind of stopped for a second and was like, ‘No. Not for a second. This is the best job in the world.’”

“Billy Bob’s [Thornton] the nicest guy in the world. We became really good friends. We had this one scene where he was yelling at me. I could see he was kind of having a hard time. He comes over, and he’s like [affecting Thornton’s drawl], ‘Man, I really just have a tough time doing scenes like this with people I feel, you know, brotherly with.’”

The Oct/Nov issue of NYLON Guys goes on sale October 2, 2014.
