11 Behind the Scenes Secrets of The Hunger Games
10. Work It Out
The actors playing Cato, Peta and Gale really had to bulk up for their roles in the movie trilogy-with Cato allegedly gaining over forty pounds of muscle to look appropriately terrifying! Apparently, the boys worked out with a Navy Seal (hardcore) for up to four hours a day to get the appropriate muscle for the roles. Much of the Hunger Games requires a great deal of physical exertion, so they were probably glad for the training once filming started-though likely not before!
