14 DAY TRIAL // No one had any idea that mild-mannered actor Josh Hutcherson, the young boy who rose to fame playing the awkward Peeta Mellark in “The Hunger Games” movies had a dark side to his personality. The actor has recently made some startling confessions about his secret passions, and some of them are rather disturbing.
Hutchinson has confessed in a recent GQ Magazine interview that he is very curious to find out what human flesh tastes like. He realizes that it's a big taboo and that it also happens to be illegal for a man to eat another man, but regardless, one day he would love to taste human flesh.
Josh doesn't want to kill someone in the process, but he would like to taste human flesh
He was careful to add, “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.”
In a day and age, where more and more celebrities declare their aversion to meat and animal flesh in general, here is a young actor who admits not only that he's a fan of meat, but he'd also like to break the final barrier and try human flesh.
Josh has a feeling man flesh is going to taste like pigeon
His explanation is simple, “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.”
It's safe to say that Josh did not confer with his publicist before giving out this interview and that he will soon have to issue an apology as the media is going to react negatively to such comments.
With the whole zombie craze sweeping the world at the moment and with some weird cases of cannibalism occurring in several American cities some while back, his statement might be seen as an encouragement for people to go out there and experiment with eating people.
This was clearly not a scripted interview, and if not contained, this crisis in the making could have some very negative effects on young Josh's career. Sure, he's at the top of his game now, part of one of the biggest earning movie franchises of the moment, but that doesn't mean that his luck and public favor couldn't turn on him in a matter of seconds.
The public, and the American public in particular, tends to be very sensitive about controversial issues and cannibalism is way up there with the most controversial things. Unless Josh wants to be swiftly eliminated from “Hunger Games,” he would do well to contain this crisis and issue a formal apology for this interview.
