Yahoo News Josh Hutcherson once farted in Tom Hanks's face
The Hunger Games' Josh Hutcherson could be forgiven for thinking he'd never work again after The Polar Express.
In his first major movie role at the age of nine, Josh had a part in Robert Zemeckis's festive mainstay, starring opposite Tom Hanks who he described as "the father of the world".
But it wasn't all smooth sailing as Hutcherson finally revealed on last night's (November 22) The Late Late Show with James Corden.
"I had the most embarrassing moment, I think, of my entire life. I haven't really told anybody until now," he started.
"We're shooting this scene where he's playing the hobo and he's on top of the train, skiing down, and I'm nestled under him, and we're like, 'Woah, this is crazy'.
"I farted. I farted in the scene, it happened, I did it and instead of playing it cool, Tom Hanks is like, 'Woah, woah, oh my God, this kid, what the heck'.
"My first big movie and I just farted in his face. It was a rite of passage and looking back on it, it was very funny, but at that moment, I thought my face was gonna just start sweating blood."
Awkward.
Fortunately, Hanks wasn't bothered by it all and Hutcherson went on to nab a major role in The Hunger Games series, and is currently starring in Hulu's sci-fi comedy Future Man.
He's also set to star in an update of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet called Die in a Gunfight, set in the high-stakes world of corporate espionage.
