Josh Hutcherson appeared on Dax Shepard’s podcast, “Armchair Expert,” in 2019 and shared how he felt about co-star Kristen Stewart while they filmed 2005’s “Zathura.” Hutcherson told Shepard, whose astronaut character was an older version of Hutcherson’s Walter, “She was the coolest person I ever met,” (via TooFab). The Kentucky native added, “It was a big-time crush at the time. 100 percent.”
Hutcherson also shared that he turned 12 years old while filming, so he invited Stewart to his bowling birthday party. And the “Spencer” actor didn’t come empty-handed — she actually brought a lively gift. “Kristen came, she kind of walks up to me and she has her hands behind her back,” Hutcherson said. “I was like, ‘Am I going to get kissed?’ She brings her hands out and she’s got a turtle. She’s like, ‘Yeah, they live to be 85. He’s less than 1.'” Unfortunately for Stewart, Hutcherson, and all animal lovers out there, the turtle did not live up to its age and has “been dead for a while.”
But that wasn’t the last time the two saw each other before the actor’s “Armchair Expert” interview. Hutcherson ran into Stewart at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards. ”I actually got to talk to Kristen Stewart for the first time in five years, at least,” Hutcherson told MTV. “That was awesome to connect with her again … It’s nice to just kind of be able to talk again and hopefully have some sort of friendship. She’s fantastic.”
