The 25-year-old actor, who made his appearance to promote "Cosmopolis" at the Cannes Film Festival, has said that he was not even offered a part, reported Ace Showbiz.
"I woke up this morning and saw all these things about me being cast in The Hunger Games. I was kind of curious for a second. So I called my agent. My agent was like, 'No and said no one's going to offer you that part'. I was like, 'Thanks for the reassurance'," he said.
The character in the film, Finnick Odair, is described as being very handsome and tall with tan skin, bronze hair, and stunning sea-green eyes. He represents District 4 at the 75th annual Hunger Games.
