McKenna Grace has NOT spoken to Josh Hutcherson

Josh Hutcherson knows about the fan edits. McKenna Grace still doesn't know what she'll say when she next sees him.

In Etalk's interview for "Sunrise on the Reaping," Grace explains that she spent a year working alongside Hutcherson while keeping her earlier Team Peeta enthusiasm to herself. Hutcherson played Peeta Mellark in the original Hunger Games films, making this a particularly tricky assignment in acting casual.

"I spent like a year of knowing him, playing it cool, super chill..." she says.

Then her fan past came up on premiere night. The Short cuts to Hutcherson learning about the edits in an earlier interview: "I did not know that." Back in the junket chair, Grace covers her face.

She says they haven't spoken directly since, and clips of him being asked about it keep appearing online. That is an awkward conversation still to come, not an announcement of a falling-out. "I don't know what I'm going to say next time I see him," she says.

The clip reached roughly 36,000 views in 12 hours, an unusually fast start for an Etalk Short. Several commenters ask interviewers to let the subject rest. Grace, meanwhile, gets a little reassurance from the interviewer: "You're one of us. You're one of us, it's fine."
