10 Ridiculously AWKWARD Moments You Won't Believe Happened On Movie Sets

Josh Hutcherson was still little more than a kid when he became something of a household name with by far his biggest role to date as Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games. However, his acting career started much earlier. At just nine years old, he landed a role in The Polar Express opposite Tom Hanks.

Imagine, as a young boy, the excitement at being able to work with one of the most famous and beloved actors in the world at such a young age. Imagine the awe and of course the nerves that would come with it.

Certainly, the last thing you'd want to do is embarrass yourself or make things awkward, right? Hutcherson would have been absolutely no different in this, but unfortunately, this couldn't stop him from farting in Tom Hanks' face. While huddled up together shooting a scene for the motion capture movie, the young man just couldn't help but let one rip.

Hanks could have handled this in a number of ways, but chose to embarrass Hutcherson even further, calling everyone's attention to the fact that he had just farted. The actor told James Cordon he thought he was going to start sweating blood, and that it was the most embarrassing moment of his entire life. This feels like more of an accurate reaction than Christopher Mintz-Plasse being pretty uncomfortable.
