Who did Josh Hutcherson Name His Puppy After???





RYAN GOSLING
-----------------------------------------------------------

In District 12, owning a pet is a luxury families cannot afford.

But in Hollywood, celebs and their pets are often the talk of the town. Josh Hutcherson, who plays Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games, recently revealed that he named his recently adopted dog Driver after actor Ryan Gosling.

Don’t see the connection? Let us explain.

Driver was the name of Ryan’s character in the 2011 movie Drive — a film even more violent than The Hunger Games.

"I'm obsessed with the movie Drive," he told Us Weekly at the GLAAD Awards Saturday night. "I always thought it was a good name for a dog so it just kind of worked out."

We don’t blame Josh for his man-crush on Ryan. Have you seen the guy?!

akasha6915 25th-Apr-2012 04:22 am (UTC)
I've considered name the next dog or cat I get something like Goat or Bunny, just cause.

But I really want a chicken to name Lucyfeather. My next door neighbor growing up had a chicken named that cause she could never have a cat to name Lucyfur, like in Cinderella, so when they go the chicken, her name was Lucyfeather.

my friend had a bunny called Bunny
onyxobsidian 25th-Apr-2012 05:48 am (UTC)
We had so many animals growing up, we stopped naming them. My sister and dad insisted on giving them these random ass name, but I called all of the cats "kitty" and all of the dogs "puppy"

baby_worlds 25th-Apr-2012 04:51 am (UTC)

ryan's name was driver in that movie? i did not notice that
war_machine_rox 25th-Apr-2012 03:35 am (UTC)
I don't think he even really had a name.

he was just called Driver.
judgmental 25th-Apr-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
nope, we just never didn't get to know his name
cloudsss 25th-Apr-2012 01:58 pm (UTC)
No, but the character is officially called "The Driver" because he is never referred to by name.
megalixer 25th-Apr-2012 03:27 am (UTC)
lol . . . really?

though I can't shade, when I move out I want to get a black french bulldog (because they have bat-shaped ears) and name it bruce wayne.
chuckisfuckis 25th-Apr-2012 03:29 am (UTC)
that's pretty amazing of you tbh.
ahzuri 25th-Apr-2012 03:33 am (UTC)
I know a girl who has a chihuahua named Bruce after Batman :) She has a cat too but I for the life of me can't remember their Batman related name /goldfish memory
megalixer 25th-Apr-2012 03:37 am (UTC)
maybe selina? if it's a girl cat, some catwoman-related name seems like the obvious choice haha
bellonia 25th-Apr-2012 04:12 am (UTC)
I did an emergency foster for a kitten that I named the Goddamn Batman b/c I wanted to be able to say that the goddamn Batman was snuzzling my boobs.
chantonii 25th-Apr-2012 09:08 am (UTC)
I wanted to call my cat Spidercat aka Peter Parker and my mum was like, you can't call a cat that!
a_klutz 25th-Apr-2012 09:23 am (UTC)
French bulldogs are seriously awesome dogs, you won't regret it. We've had three.
anniemann101 26th-Apr-2012 03:04 pm (UTC)
best fucking idea ever. i want to do this now. :(
numbedtoe 25th-Apr-2012 03:28 am (UTC)
lmao I love it.

I have given my cats some out there names in hopes I'll get it out of my system before (if) I have kids.
abcdlovelife 25th-Apr-2012 03:30 am (UTC)
i gave one of my dogs a human name. oop
numbedtoe 25th-Apr-2012 03:32 am (UTC)
Naw that's ok. I had an amazing cat named Max. Maximus Stinkamus since he had a terrible gas problem.

My current kitties, since I have mine, my mom's and my grandma's now that they can't take care of theirs. Zarek, Valerius, Samara and Bo short for Bozider.

All human names, just kinda out there a lil.

My friend named her dog Dave and honestly, he looks like a dave lol
ahzuri 25th-Apr-2012 03:35 am (UTC)
Our dog was named Cid, no shame in giving them people names :)
oxbowlake 25th-Apr-2012 03:41 am (UTC)
I work at a doggie daycare and we have tons of dogs come in that have human names. Sasha, Millie, Avery, Jackson, Charlie, Louie, Finn, Rufus, Abby, etc. I guess that's the new trend in pet names
thesilverymoon 25th-Apr-2012 03:52 am (UTC)
My dog's name is Olivia--I love human names for dogs. That said, her middle name is Fucktard, so we don't like to keep it toooo human.
tonightwedance0 25th-Apr-2012 04:12 am (UTC)
Human names for pets are great. Two of our cats have human names - Morgan and Walden.
pretend_to_care 25th-Apr-2012 04:21 am (UTC)
I give all my pets Shakespearean names since I love them so much but everyone tells me if I give my kids those names they'll get punched in school.
