Fans are finally getting a peek at how Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth will look as Peeta and Gale in The Hunger Games.

The two actors have been subject of much speculation for looking so different from the way author Suzanne Collins described both characters in the books, but now that should change.

Hutcherson dyed his hair blonde and bulked up his arms to play the son of a baker who must compete in the annual games. The 18 year-old told EW he worked on his arms so he could believably play a guy who lifts heavy bags of flour and sugar as his father’s assistant.

Hemsworth also changed his hair color to a deeper shade of brown and is thinner than we’ve seen him in the past.

Director Gary Ross said people will be very surprised about Hemsworth in the film.

“On first glance he’s such a hunk that it’s easy to just sort of ascribe a hunk-like simplicity to him,” says the director. “But this is a phenomenally subtle actor.”

Hemsworth and Hutcherson have really bonded while filming in North Carolina and became great friends. Josh even invited Liam to head to Kentucky for a dinner with his family at his grandmother’s home and the two may decide to share a house in Los Angeles.

The Hunger Games is due in theaters in March of 2012.

“Breaking Dawn” gets a special double cover for the upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly with the Twilight trinity. Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen) and Kristen Stewart (Bella Swan) pose in a romantic way, while Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) offers the “matador” look on his own cover.

In the interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kristen revealed the wedding scenes were pretty intense and emotional from her point of view. That is when fiction and reality become one. Kristen “marries” Rob. Wouldn’t she love if it was all real.

Kristen said, “It’s funny because when [the PG-13 issue] comes up, everybody thinks it’s all about the sex. The birth is really effective, and I’ve heard it really hits you in the face. But what it could have been? It could have been shocking and grotesque, because that’s how it was written in the book.” She sighs: “I would have loved to have been puking up blood.”

The 19 year-old teen werewolf, who becomes an action hero in his new movie “Abduction” (watch trailer here), confessed that he also suffered a lot while filming the Twilight movies. Why? Taylor complains he is the only one who has to be shirtless all the time.

Taylor said, “Everybody is always complaining to me that I don’t have to wear the contacts, I don’t have to wear the white makeup or wear wigs and all that stuff. And I’m like, ‘I’m the one in the freezing rain and cold not wearing a shirt! I paid my dues in New Moon and Eclipse.’”

Oh boy! Shirtless is awesome!! *Faints*
