Alex Pettyfer – is he everyone’s Peeta?

Peeta with a six-pack? Uhm, yes please!

This is my first real post here (I don’t count “Welcome to The District13 Post” cause that was merely an introduction). So when I had finished the books and read that Lionsgate wanted to turn the Hunger Games into a movie, I headed over to Youtube and watched thirty-four a few of the “my favorite cast for the Hunger Games” videos. And what really stunned me was the fact that EVERYONE chose Alex Pettyfer as Peeta. To be honest, I looked him up on IMBD cause I didn’t really know who he was. Yeah, sorry. So what is it about him that makes him everybody’s Peeta?

Dude, what happened to your nose?

Okay, he’s blonde. And yes, there are definitely pics of him where he looks hot (Damn that guy has abs!). Only thing that confused me: Uhm, can anyone tell me what happened to his nose? Cause in my mind Peeta did NOT have a broken nose that healed badly. I mean, Alex’ nose looks kind of crooked here… So what happened? Either it’s just the light or Alex had indeed a broken nose. Whatever, if he keeps looking hot like that I might consider him as my personal Peeta as well. We can still pretend there had been an accident in the bakery or that his mother slapped him in the face so hard after he had given the bread to Katniss that his nose got damaged. Don’t worry Alex, if we really want you as the boy with the bread we’ll find an excuse for that. Promise.

Hey Alex, think about doing a hot photoshoot anytime soon. Just saying.

    I don’t know, I thought he’d be an amazing Peeta, but now I don’t know.

      Ok I am SO looking forward to this movie coming out. These books are AMAZING! And when I found out ALEX PETTYFER was in it as Peeta (my FAVE character), I was completely ecstatic. Dude that guy as some pics that are beyond hot. But some….. YIKES! lol. Still can’t wait for the movie!!!!!!!!!!!

    i think he would be the perfect Peeta!!

  3. Julia

    I think he´s hot and all, but maybe he´s a little too old…damn it, they can put some makeup on him, so he looks younger. He´s Peeta, definitely.

    • Haha, love your comment. Yeah, make-up solves it all! That only leaves his nose that still looks kinda broken to me… Honestly, what DID he do with that?^^

      • Grace

        I think Hunter Parish Should be Peeta but Alex Pettyfer would be my second choice!

      • Violet

        Yeah…. his nose is NOT like this usually… it is annoying me.

        Look up Google images and him. some of them he like iis peeta!

  4. Lily

    i think he’d make a great peeta, but i personally never imagined peeta being that hot. more of a cute, lost puppy look.

  5. Jacob

    Hes DEFINITELY not my Peeta. Hes not gentle looking enough. He needs to be fatter.

  6. Uriel

    Holy schmoley YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alex Pettyfer was the image that popped into my head when the book described Peeta! I’m glad someone shares my view 😀

  7. PettaLuvr

    OMG! HE!!! YES! he’s my PETTA!
    I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He’s perfect and he better be peeta 🙂

  8. HungerGamesFanatic

    the casts should be fresh and still in their teens.
    we could relate even more with this. 🙂

  9. steph

    I thought of alex pettyfer as soon as peeta was described in the book…but now i wonder if he is too old to look 16…i only remember him from movies he did awhile back now.

    • Yeah, that’s what I thought too! He is looks way too old! It’s just the other way round with Sterling Knight though. I though he looks way too young. Then I found out he is already 21… WTF? He looks like 15! ^^

      • Mockingjay

        WTH? Sterling Knight is 21?!?!?!?! Jeezzzz…. I thought he was like 16

      • Jess

        oh god please no, not him he is so not Peeta! I would boycott if they cast him. Alex Pettyfer please:)

  10. nadi

    hi, i did one of these clips and there is alex pettyfer as peeta, too. but what happened with his nose? i don’t know.. 😀

    • Hey Nadi! Just watched your video. I’m so gonna use this in my next post! (If you’re okay with it…) I mean, how AWESOME is it that you put JOHNNY DEPP in there? BRILLIANT! One of my favi actors EVER. How come I didn’t think of him? WIN!
      Also: One day if I got some spare time (aka never) I will really have to google what happened to Alex Pettyfer’s nose…

      • Jess

        I’m pretty sure theres nothing wrong with his nose, i just went to I am Number four, and his nose looked fine in every scene. I think its just that one bad picture of his nose. I mean, It doesnt look like that in ANY other picture, so i wouldnt even be bothered by it.

  11. Rachel

    Oh my god, I love alex pettyfer and the hunger games! I actually never considered him to be peeta. hes not perfect for the part, I always thought he was definitely my Jace Wayland from Cassandra Clares ‘the mortal instruments’ trilogy. But hes definitely hot and i could go for it. as for his nose… thats the first pic ive seen of it like that – maybe it was broken 🙂

    Alex Pettyfer was on the cover of a magazine I’ve had for about four years now. At the time I got it I thought he was cute in a 12-year old girl way, so I kept the magazine in one of my drawers. When I read the Hunger Games I remembered the picture of the cute boy (I did not know his name then) and he became Peeta in my mind. When i just read this I was thrilled to see that Alex Pettyfer is now in the running to be Peeta! He is absolutely perfect for the role, and if he was cast it would make the movie for me. Having your own book images match up with a movie is not something that happens often and I’m still amazed to find out after all this time that he is being considered.
    Alex Pettyfer is the perfect Peeta, who is by far my favourite character in this series. Yes to Alex for Peeta!!

    • Haha, how funny! Love your little Alex story! And I know what you mean. I hate when they turn favorite books of mine into movies and the characters look NOTHING like I pictured them in my head. So let’s hope we get some good choices for the Hunger Games! 😉

      • Mollipop

        haha yeah i would like to see what happened to his nose..i also saw Lucas Till as a runner for Peeta. GAH!There are so many to choose from!!!! xD well it’ll all pan out and i’m super pumped for the movie
        p.s. i don’t think anyone has ever pictured peeta chubby -laughs-

  13. Mika

    He could be my Peeta any day 😉

  14. Elizabeth

    I don’t know who I want as long as it is not Sterling Knight in my Hunger Games.
    P.S. its not mine but I love the hunger games to much I know crazy

  15. Elizabeth

    Never mind hes totally Peeta, I can just imagine him saying
    “Because she came her with me.”
    Crap I am crazy like it is 2:28 in the morning

  16. Emily

    I think he would be an awesome peeta if he was only younger. His voice sounds a bit to deep for a 16 year old. I either want Alex Pettyfer or Alex Watson to play Peeta. Just NO Lucas Till or Sterling knight!! Sterlings to young and to wimpy. Lucas’s voice bugs me so much. way to deep.
    Both Alex’s= yes from me

  17. Emily

    Yes, coulda be peeta. just wish his voice sounded younger! then hed be perfecto

  18. i think alex is an awesome peeta! Cuz if u think about it to me everyone seems older in the book just cuz they all have been though so much. so he is awesome for me!plus alex is only 17 years old.And me too i can also so alex just saying “because she came here with me”
    Alex is soo my Peeta!!!!

  19. ellie

    so perfect.

  20. Mollipop

    yeah i think sterling knight would be okay because he looks a little young and wimpy…thats a bit how Peeta was perceived, the innocent boy with the bread.. no lucas till though he looks WAY too old for the role. Alex would be good, the hair and the eyes look great!! p.s. i think the girl who played Athena’s daughter in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theif would make a GREAT Katniss! her features are so striking!

    • I’m sorry, but no. This cast is too full of top Hollywood celebrities. I think that some would be alright on their own, but not together.
      Sorry.

  22. Lily

    I could see Alex as Peeta for sure! If they cast Sterling Knight I will die, he looks way too young! I agree about Johnny Depp being a possible Haymitch, that or Hugh Laurie. I think either one of them would pull off the character well. I heard talk of Kristen Chenworth being considered for Effie, has anyone else heard this? Would you agree?

    PS- Is that picture in there for Prim really Abigail Breslin? She looks nothing like her in that picture.

  23. MKB97

    SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! Of course I want Alex Pettyfer to play Peeta! I mean look at him….:)

  24. Trish

    ALEX PETTYFER IS THE PERFECT PEETA.

  25. Nicole Marin

    uhm.. He’s hot and all but he’s not my Peeta. Peeta should look more softer than that. And besides, Alex Pettyfer should play Jace (mortal instruments). So he is my Jace and not Peeta.

  26. PettaLuvr

    okay! i have a kid at my school who is EXACTLY how i pictured Peeta. i showed my friend who moved without meeting him-and of course has read the books- his picture and she wrote me a message and was like, ‘omg that is how i pictured peeta!!!’ haha it was funny so yeah. this doesnt relate but i thought id share. i do like alex as peeta but he is not the absolute BEST choice for the role

  27. xTheBrightside

    I’ve always thought of Mitch Hewer as Peeta.
    Since Alex Pettyfer is a little to macho and I’ve always imagined Peeta to be kinda petite, so I my Peeta Mellark is Mitch Hewer…

    Also I don’t know why everyone keep using Kaya as Katniss, they’re not similliar in any way.

  28. Sam

    Okay so he is the best Peeta ever!!!!!!!!! And Kaya Scodelario as Katniss? The best pair

  29. Annie

    i… dont really think of alex pettyfer as peeta. I imagine peeta as so gentle and ‘lost puppy’ kind of…

    but. i LOVE alex pettyfer so im gona offer that i think he would be the most perfect gale.. 🙂

  30. KIRA >.

    he shld defintely play peeta if you guys watch his movies you’ll see tht he can play gentle and playful as peeta, to be honest i cant thnk of any1 good enough to play peeta he’s da closest 1 XDDDDDDD
    >.O

  31. I love Alex Pettyfer. He’s an amazing actor, and if he doesn’t get cast as Peeta , I’ll be reaaaaalllllly upset because hes amazingly perfect and practically no one else can play him. I know other people know other people that should play Peeta but SERIOUSLY.

    ALEX PETTYFER IS PERFECT.

  32. Jenn

    In my mind the casting would be:
    logan lerman as gale
    him as peeta
    im not sure about katniss yet
    jack black for haymitch

    • yuneed2no

      Jack Blanck would not be a good Haymitch, he to errr, large and Haymitch is just a drunky. I see him with dirty blond hair and with only alittle flab. hehe…

  33. everly

    Alex is soooooooooooooooo hot! i love him! i kinda imagened looking like him but a little bit softer. but the look in his eyes are perfect thats how i thought he would look at katniss like that. hes perfect in some ways. he could be peeta if he shaves cause i know in alot of pictures he has not shaved his face then he looks like 28!

  34. im just saying alex pettyfer has to play peeta or im gunna freak

  35. Erin MacEgan

    I think Alex would be a terrible Peeta! I really hope they decide to go with unknowns for the roles.

  36. Maggie

    He’s would be perfect as Peeta!! *___________* ♥♥♥

  37. mandy

    HES SOOOOO PERFECT FOR PEETA!!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. Becki

    Honestly, I think people need to consider acting ability and acting style when choosing ideal cast. Not just who looks like the characters. Alex would be an OK Peeta, but I’m not sure he’s perfect for the role. Plus, as I read in other comments, he looks/is too old for the role. He is John in I Am Number Four, and is too old for that role as well, definitely doesn’t look 15/16.

  39. Kelsey

    I didn’t even notice his nose until you said something.. he looks the part and i think he’s a good actor. I wouldn’t let something as dumb has a broken nose ruin his chance at playing an big role

  40. I love Alex Pettifyer. He is lovely.
    I think he would be amazing in the hunger games, but not as Peeta.
    I think that he would make a Brilliant Finnick.
    And Check out those Abs!

  41. Olga

    I’m one of those people that can’t visualize book characters in actor form…. But I guess he could be okay. I actually hope its some no-name actor that looks like Peeta, though. So that its not a huge hit. I really dislike it ehen all these people who’ve never read the books become obssesed with the movies and ruin them for a bunch of others. Lol I sound crancky…. But I love Peeta, no actor could do him justice!!!

  42. Drea

    No way he is finnick

  43. Violet

    OMG OMG!! I think Alex is a GREAT Peeta. When I ws reading this trilogy, this is EXACTLY how I imagined Peeta. I saw him in Beastly, and he was a really good actor. PLEASE SUSAN COLLINS AND GARY ROSS…. CAST HIM!

  44. lutter

    i know who cares about his age!!@

  45. CaptainCaitlin

    I have always pictured Chord Overstreet as Peeta for some reason. He looks much gentler and friendlier, more Peeta-esque.

  46. Chayse

    i dont think alex should be peeta…he’s too old looking. im sure they could do all sorts of makeup and such, but he looks too… powerful. he should be more “cute.”

  47. i think johnny depp would make a great haymitch because of johnny depps experience as the drunken jack sparrow…
