Actress Jennifer Lawrence talks with Marc Malkin about life on the set of the Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire with Josh Hutcherson and Sam Claflin:

"[Sam] and Josh are in love," Lawrence told me last night at the special screening of her new movie, Silver Linings Playbook, at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills. "It's the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my entire life. They're crazy about each other and they're inseparable. It's incredible."

Claflin was not in the first film. He has been cast as Finnick Odair.

Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson accepted GLAAD's Vanguard award over the weekend and talked about his two uncles who died of AIDS-related causes. He also talked about his work on behalf of the Straight But Not Narrow campaign, and expressed his weariness of having to use certain words to describe people.

Said Hutcherson:

"I'm so sick of saying the words gay and lesbian. Can we just — people. I'm so tired of that. One day I wnat my son to come home from school and be like, I found this guy and I love him. And I'm gonna be like yes, you do, and that's okay."

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...

Josh Hutcherson More Proud Of Gay Activism Than Acting

JoshHutchersonJosh Hutcherson is not one of those young stars who uses fame and fortune solely for partying.

The 19-year old actor, known best for The Hunger Games and The Kids Are Alright, is using his position and influence to help Straight But Not Narrow, a group of straight allies who fight for equality and acceptance. And that work has earned him a Vanguard Award from GLAAD, which Hutcherson will receive this weekend, making him the youngest recipient in the organization's history.

Speaking with E! Online reporter Marc Malkin about his work and activism, Hutcherson implicitly thanked his mother for always being an advocate. "My mom has always been a big advocate, especially in the gay, lesbian, transsexual and bisexual community so for me it's always been a part of my soul," he said.

Hutcherson also revealed to Malkin that he had two gay uncles who died from AIDS-related illness in the early-1990s: "They were in their early thirties, in great shape, but unfortunately they were taken away from us too soon. Both passed away at about the time I was born."

As for his activism, Hutcherson says it's far more laud-worthy than anything he does on the big screen. "This is what my family is most proud of and the same for me," he said. "Acting is one thing, but actually trying to change the world and the way people think to make people's lives better? That's the stuff I'm most proud of."

If only Hutcherson were gay -- and about a decade older…
