Actor Josh Hutcherson recently made an appearance at Joshua Horowitz’s live interview show where the two had a chat about the former’s recent two film outings, FNAF and The Beekeeper. During the interview, Hutcherson spoke about how he researched the FNAF fanbase and the game before acting in the movie and how he’s fond of video games.
When Horowitz asked him if he’s seen Oppenheimer, Maestro, Past Lives, and other phenomenal movies nominated during the ongoing award season, Hutcherson admitted he hasn’t gotten around to watching them. He added, “I haven’t seen any of those films and it might be because of Fortnite. I live under a rock. I just stare at walls (in my free time) and play Fortnite.”
Several fans of the actor and Fortnite player base alike were shocked as they believed they might have encountered the actor in a Battle Royale match sometime. One such fan said, “Imagine getting boxed and griddyed on by Josh Hutcherson.”
Another chimed in, “I wonder if I’ve ever played randoms with him.” A third user added, “Mans needs to put down Fortnite and catch up on some fine cinema.” A fourth one commented, “We need a Collab between him and Fortnite.”
While the community can’t be amused enough by Hutcherson dropping Fortnite as the main reason behind his backlog of films he needs to watch, they ended up dropping yet another Whistle meme in the comment section.
