“Hunger Games” Star Makes a Flippered Friend

Josh Hutcherson, who plays Peeta Mellark in the upcoming movie Hunger Games: Catching Fire, recently had the day off from filming and took an after-hours tour of the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta.

The actor, along with some of the film crew, got a behind-the-scenes look at the aquarium — and Hutcherson even got to meet a bottlenose dolphin. Jealous!

We already knew that Hutcherson loves our four-legged friends (he has a Pit Bull puppy named Driver), but it sounds like he’s also a fan of marine life. According to the aquarium, the young celeb enjoyed seeing the penguins, whale sharks and manta rays.
