Josh Hutcherson is defending Hunger Games costar Jennifer Lawrence following the nude photo leak scandal that targeted her and dozens of other female celebrities.

"Actually, I haven't talked to her, but I just think all that stuff is so ridiculous," Hutcherson recently told ET Canada. "We're people too, man; we just want to live, we want to be normal people. It's not fair."

Hutcherson, who was involved in his own nude photo scandal back in 2013, went on, "I think everyone has their own way of getting through it. It's something you obviously don't want to happen to you and its really unfortunate that it happens but, I don't know. I hate the way the world sort of views those sorts of issues. It's really, truly not fair."

"We are actors, we didn't get into this because we wanted scandal," Hutcherson, 21, added. "We want to live our lives and be actors and like Jen and I always say...people say, 'Well, you chose to be an actor, you are going to have to deal with this kind of thing.' Well, no. We didn't chose to have public scandal, we chose to become artists of acting and I love making movies. This is what I can do, this is what I am good at. So it's like, because this is what I am good at and this is my career means I also have to suffer on this other side? Like, it's not very fair."

The FBI is currently investigating who hacked and leaked the naked pics of Lawrence, Kate Upton and more celebs.
