Josh Hutcherson: Taylor Swift Fan Backlash Drives Him Offline

0:00On April 21st, Josh Hutchison is catching heat for admitting he's not a Taylor Swift fan. The Hunger Games actor spilled this during an interview with ID Magazine alongside his castmate, Jordan Firstman. He straight-up said he's no swifty, and that simple confession blew up online. Fans didn't tick it lightly, especially after learning he accepted VIP tickets to her show anyway. Swifties flooded social media, some even pushing to cancel him for what they saw as fake fandom. This backlash is exactly why Hutchison steers clear of the internet. He explained that all that noise makes it tough to vanish into his roles on screen. Being online turns actors into memes, he says, and that kills the magic of disappearing into characters. People start seeing Josh instead of the role. In the end, staying off social keeps his focus sharp for the craft, dodging the drama that comes with famed spotlights.
