Actors Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth chatted with Seventeen about the girls in their lives, Vanessa Hudgens and Miley Cyrus, respectively. Josh admitted he "adores" Vanessa but he didn't outright say they are indeed dating. "Oh, boy. I don’t know if 'dating' is the right word. She's awesome. We love being together. When I first met her, we just really hit it off. We could be goofy and silly and not worry about anything except having fun."

Liam was also tight-lipped about Miley. Asked if they are officially back together, he said, "Who knows? Might be. The main thing is that we know how we feel. We know what's going on. It can get complicated bringing the rest of the world into it."

Josh's and Liam's characters fight for Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss in The Hunger Games. Who would get the girl IRL? Both guys pointed at each other; Josh said Liam is "epic" and that "his Australian accent kills it." But Liam said, "I'm not that good at talking to girls. Honestly, (Josh is) persuasive. I listen to him talk a lot and he's smart, he's funny... He could convince me to do anything!"
