He may play the fearless Peeta in The Hunger Games trilogy, but that doesn’t mean Liam Hemsworth claims not to be afraid of anything – or does it!?

In a recent interview with Men’s Health magazine, the super sexy Aussie opens up about a near-death surfing accident that nearly took his life as a child.

Every day, before and after school. I wanted to surf for the rest of my life. It’s what all my friends did… The fear of dying? That’s part of the fun of it.

When I was a kid, one time I got my leg rope wrapped around my whole body like a ball, under water. Couldn’t get up… I was in waist-deep water, but I almost drowned. You know, I’ve had a few times.

Oh yeah, no big deal.  I almost died – whatever.

Geez Liam!  If you had drowned that day, we never would’ve gotten the chance to see your beautiful face on the big screen!  Don’t be so nonchalant about it!

The newly engaged actor also shares what it was like working on the summer action flick The Expendables 2 with legendary action heroes such as Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jean-Claude Van Damme

There wasn’t the testosterone or ego you might expect on a set like that. Everyone was so cool and professional.
