You may
remember this 19-year-old cutie from
Race
to Witch Mountain (ya know,
the one with AnnaSophia Robb) and if not, you’ll definitely know of
him after you see the movie adaptation of
The
Hunger Games!
Alexander, or “Xander” as his castmates often refer to him, plays
Cato, the strong and egotistical tribute from District 2.
But
before you go see him in action, fighting for his life in The
Hunger Games, there are a
few things you need to know about this Canadian cutie. Here they are…
He’s
still a kid at heart. The
same things that were funny to him as a kid are still funny to him
now. “Suddenly, out of nowhere, I cannot name him because he would
just be too embarrassed, but this guy just walks up to Jack Quaid,
looks him in the eyes, farts and then walks back,” he tells us of
an LOL moment on the Hunger
Games set. “We all
literally just could not stop laughing. Honestly hilarious.”
He’s
a bit claustrophobic. “I
used to be really scared of elevators or really enclosed rooms. It’s
kind of something I’m still a little freaked out about.
He’s
a pro skier. “I’ve been
skiing since I was 17 months old. I do freestyle and big mountain
skiing. They judge you on how fluid your run is, how big the cliff is
that you jump and what tricks you do off of them. It gets pretty
crazy.”
He
has a type when it comes to girls.
“I love fun, adventurous girls who are down to try anything like
bungee jumping, or try a new sport or go on a hike.”
Something
you really
wouldn’t expect? “Oh
and also, I’m afraid of Cheetos.” Right now you’re probably
thinking, “huh?” Well, let him explain…“Because when you’re
at parties and people are eating Cheetos. They get in their teeth and
it freaks me out. I never eat them at parties.”
Do you
think Alexander will be a good Cato? Are you pumped to see him on the
big screen? Blog about it, babes.
