Julianne Moore on President Coin in Modern Luxury's Angeleno 

Julianne Moore is the cover star for the November issue of Modern Luxury’s Angeleno magazine and we've got our first look thanks to US Magazine

Opening up about her role as President Coin in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, Moore said she strived to bring more depth to the character, who leads the rebellion alongside Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss.

Because you see Coin from the view of Katniss, she’s not fully fleshed out. But I wanted to give her a kind of an arc. I don’t want to give it away, but there’s a sense of evolution with Coin that leads potentially to a sense of disillusionment. I wanted her to evolve from someone who was revolutionary to someone who has inserted herself in a power structure.”

The digital copy of Modern Luxury’s Angeleno magazine is available online beginning Oct. 20. We'll update this post with more from the article when it's out!

Liam Hemsworth Covers Men's Fitness Magazine

Liam Hemsworth is the November cover star of Men's Fitness Magazine. Inside the issue Mr. Handsome man (sorry, after The Muppets he's going to be called that forever. In THAT voice). Inside the issue, Liam briefly touches on Mockingjay Part 2, talks about going vegan like his co-star Woody Harrelson, his newest rescue dog, and reveals his hidden talent is painting! Who knew?

On Gale's expanded role in Mockingjay Part 2: 

The movies are always played through the eyes of Katniss [Jennifer Lawrence]. But this last one is more of an ensemble, I would say. There’s this squad that gets sent into the Capitol—which is me, Jennifer, Josh [Hutcherson], and then a few other people—and most of the film is centered around us. I’d say it’s the most fast-paced and action-packed film out of all of them. It feels like you’re in the middle of a battle the whole time. Part 1 was more talking about what was going to happen. Now it feels like you’re in the middle of the battle the whole time. It’s really fun. 

I’m really not a serious guy. I feel like I’m a pretty positive influence on a lot of people in my life, and I try to be healthy and try to help the world as much as I can. I’m a complete goofball—I’m not at all a cool guy. My brothers used to call me “Diplodocus,” which is a large dinosaur. A large slow-moving dinosaur.
