Josh Hutcherson missed out on 2023’s biggest movies
Josh Hutcherson portrayed the role of Mike Schmidt in the horror movie, Five Night at Freddy’s last year which was based on the game series of the same name. The movie went on to become a massive success at the box office and also received positive reviews from critics and fans. As for the rest of the year, Hutcherson did not take part in major movies or series. However, in a recent interview with Josh Horowitz, the actor revealed that he missed out on some major movies like Oppenheimer and Past Lives last year because he was busy either staring at walls or playing Fortnite. He said,
“I haven’t seen ‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Maestro’, ‘Past Lives’, and it might be because of Fortnite.”
Being addicted to games is one thing, but a star like Josh Hutcherson missing a masterpiece like Oppenheimer was something no one could have seen coming.
Five Night at Freddy’s is currently streaming on Peacock TV.
