The Hunger Games franchise is one of Hollywood’s most popular and successful film franchises, with Jennifer Lawrence in the lead. Besides Lawrence, the films featured Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth as well. There was a romantic angle between JLaw’s Katniss and Josh’s Peeta with a kissing scene, which was far from ideal. In an interview, Josh once opened up about his lip-locking scene with the Oscar-winning actress, and he described it as sloppy.
The first film in the franchise came out in 2012, followed by its sequel in 2013. The 2013 film Catching Fire was the most successful in the Lawrence-led franchise, and this infamous kiss took place in that movie only. The film with the highest IMDb rating of 7.5 in the series earned a staggering $865.01 million at the box office worldwide. It is also the highest-earning film in the lot.

In The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss falls for Josh Hutcherson’s Peeta during the Quarter Quell. While Katniss’ feelings were partially fake, she eventually falls for Peeta, who was head over heels for Jen’s character. However, that was not enough for the sloppy kiss that Josh and Jen shared on screen. It was emotional for their characters but for the actors. In one of his appearances on Live! with Kelly and Michael, Hutcherson shared his experience of that kiss and said, “It was very slobbery…It was right after Peeta had been knocked down, and it wasn’t looking too good for him.”
