Quotables: Robert Pattinson Talks Hunger Games

“I woke up this morning and saw all these things about me being cast in The Hunger Games. I was kind of curious for a second. So I called my agent. My agent was like, ‘No.’ (My agent) was like ‘no one’s going to offer you that part.’ I was like, thanks for the reassurance.”

Robert Pattinson addresses the rumors that he’s the top choice to play the role of Finnick in the second part of the Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire.

I bet this puts a lot of you at ease, huh? I know a whole lot of people were not too pleased when these rumors started up, and I can understand why. Not because I’ve finished Catching Fire yet – I’m a horrible person, I know, but also I lost my copy of the book and haven’t gotten around to getting another one yet – but because it would be absolutely ridiculous. That would mean that Robert Pattinson had a significant role in the Harry Potter movies, a starring role in the Twilight movies, and what I’m assuming is another significant role in the Hunger Games movies. That would mean that he’d be a sizable part of three of the biggest movie franchises from the past decade. And I really do love him, but, huh, he’s not all that.

So without giving away too much, who do you think would be the perfect actor to play Finnick?

  • I’m thinking maybe Garrett Hedlund. He’s gorgeous. But I think he could play a broken man, too (in _Mockingjay_). The age is about right (since Finnick is older than Katniss and Peeta).

    • when i read this i was like “no”, but then i saw some pics of him with black hair and now im like “let this happen”!!!

  • Jesse Williams. You know, the ridiculously fit one on Grey’s Anatomy. He can do outstandingly pretty AND vulnerable.

  • jensen ackles would be the best finnick! the cocky attitude and good looks…. perfect!

  • WHOM . IS THIS HOMELESS GUY ????

    WHAT IS HE SAYING : ” UHMMM .. . MAYBE I CAN BUM SOME MONEY OVER THERE “….

    DRESSIN’ DOWN / CASUAL IS ONE THING , MEIN FUHRER ..

    FILTHY – LOOKIN’ SLOB IS MENTAL HELP INDICATIVE..

  • If this guy is cast as Finnick,I will boycott the Hunger Games. God! Can’t they find someone who can actually act? Keep those Twilight shits away from the Hunger Games. Crappy movie,crappy novel, crappy author, crappy plot lines and crappy actors.They have it in spades.

  • Robert sold his soul to the devil to be in all major movie series. He WILL be in Hunger Games and is currently being fitted with a Dwarf suit for Hobbit Pt. 2

  • what the fuss about? he is a great actor and would be great on the series. plus all you haters should remember he is making money so talking bad about him isn’t going to make you better.

  • Grant Gustin or Alex Pettyfer…
    Robert Pattinson is not good looking enough to play Finnick
