"Working with amazing people, you continue to learn and develop yourself, as an actor and as a person."
~ Josh Hutcherson
American actor Josh Hutcherson has appeared in many movies such as Bridge to Terabithia, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, etc, but he is perhaps best known for his role as Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games film series.
Josh Hutcherson is not known for being tall, in fact in Hunger Games, he looked shorter than just about everyone else, including Jennifer Lawrence -- and Liam Hemsworth but Liam is nearly 6'4" so he makes everyone look short.
Anyway, Josh had once claimed to be 5'7" tall. But to our trained eye, he looks a bit shorter than that number. By the way, he is listed all over the internet at 5'5" -- and for a reason, it seems.
After comparing Josh Hutcherson's height to that of people like Dave Franco (5'5"), Jennifer Lawrence (almost 5'8"), Seth Rogan (5'11"), The Rock, etc, the reason seems clear.
Now we can say with confidence that Josh Hutcherson is certainly below the 5'7" mark -- but the question is how much?
The real height of Josh Hutcherson is
5'5" or 165 cm
