Josh Hutcherson

OSH HUTCHERSON ISN’T CONCERNED WITH doing what you think he should. “There was an obvious path to take post-s. But I made a conscious choice to say ‘no’ to a lot of things and not really just follow a predetermined [path].” And that’s reflected (January 12), Hutcherson plays Derek, the evil billionaire scamming elderly people’s savings. “The idea of an older lady getting scammed by some internet troll, and then Jason Statham coming out of retirement as a beekeeper to hunt down the people responsible, that’s a batsh** idea for a movie.” And last year Hutcherson found surprise success with a film adaptation of the popular horror video game. “I started reading into the rabid fan base and the lore that fans create, and how many games there are in this crazy world; it was like, ‘Oh, wow, that’s a big responsibility.’” Looking back on his career choices, Hutcherson says, “I maybe said ‘no’ to some things that I should have said ‘yes’ to, I’m sure,” but that he’s “happy with where I am right now.”
