Josh Hutcherson (3:09)

It's a great movie.

Josh Hutcherson (3:10)

Yeah. Just saw Julianna Moore.

Josh Hutcherson (3:13)

Oh, no way.

Josh Hutcherson (3:14)

A month ago, she came to the very last performance of Twelfth Night that I did at Shakespeare in the Park. The very last performance that she came backstage. No one ever comes backstage, but somehow she found her way backstage. And I haven't seen her. I've seen her a handful of times in my career. She was with Leo Schreiber. I don't know why. They must be friends. And then Zoran, Madame.

Josh Hutcherson (3:37)

Oh, wow.

Josh Hutcherson (3:37)

The new mayor of New York.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (3:39)

It was, like, the craziest. She wasn't with him, but he came back separately, and it was like, absolute chaos.

Josh Hutcherson (3:45)

So I sent her an email because I happened to have her email.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (3:47)

I was like, I am so sorry.

Josh Hutcherson (3:49)

I didn't, like, take in more that you were there, but so many things were happening.

Josh Hutcherson (3:53)

That's a lot to take in.

Josh Hutcherson (3:55)

But yeah. Yeah, that's funny.

Josh Hutcherson (3:56)

A lot. Yeah. Julian, that. I mean, kids are all right. Like, that was a really special movie. It was a funny story about that movie. Is that so, like, we. We made the movie and, like, obviously, it's. The cast is insane. So good. Lisa Cholodinko directing. And we take. We print at Sundance, and we're at the theater. Like, the big Is the Eckler, the Eck. Whatever the E. Theater is.

Josh Hutcherson (4:21)

Yeah.

Josh Hutcherson (4:22)

And we were there, and the movie starts up, and, like, in the first five minutes or so, people are laughing a ton. And I'm like, oh, my God, they're laughing.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (4:32)

They're laughing.

Josh Hutcherson (4:33)

This is a fucking disaster.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (4:34)

They're laughing.

Josh Hutcherson (4:35)

And so I suffer through the entire movie because everyone's laughing. They think it's hilarious and, like, into it. And afterwards, I'm with Lisa, and I'm.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (4:43)

Like.

Josh Hutcherson (4:45)

I don't know. I don't know what everyone was laughing at. How do you feel? She goes, babe, it's a comedy. And I was like, it's a comedy. She's like, yeah. I was like, no one told me.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (4:58)

No one told me.

Josh Hutcherson (4:58)

And she's like, I. No one should have told you.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (5:00)

You were amazing.

Josh Hutcherson (5:01)

It was perfect because you didn't. You weren't trying to do something.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (5:03)

And I was like.

Josh Hutcherson (5:04)

I was like, this is hard hitting. It's like lesbian family.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (5:07)

Who's the.

Josh Hutcherson (5:07)

Like, it's like, this is like drama, man. No, it's like a yes but no.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (5:12)

You know what I mean? Yeah, but like feeling of it because.

Josh Hutcherson (5:15)

I'm very light hearted.

Josh Hutcherson (5:17)

Well, not me. Me playing laser was like, I am. This is serious shit.

Josh Hutcherson (5:21)

Yeah, that's so funny.

Josh Hutcherson (5:23)

But that movie is special. And that's one like. I don't know for me too. It was like I was. I was 16 years old. We shot it mostly in Venice and.

Josh Hutcherson (5:33)

Venice, California.

Josh Hutcherson (5:34)

Venice, California. And I would. I drove my motorcycle to work a bunch. I was 16 driving a motorcycle to work. And I remember like, you must have.

Josh Hutcherson (5:44)

Just gotten your like driver's.

Josh Hutcherson (5:45)

Yeah. Like, I don't know if it's fully legal, but I was definitely driving a motorcycle.

Josh Hutcherson (5:49)

Where we were living. You were living in.

Josh Hutcherson (5:51)

I was living. Yeah, I was in Sherman Oaks.

Josh Hutcherson (5:53)

That's a long.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (5:54)

Okay, That's a long drive.

Josh Hutcherson (5:55)

No, I'm sorry. I was driving a Vespa. I didn't have it. I didn't have my Harley yet. I was driving a Vespa to work because I got my Harley when I was 18. So I was driving a Vespa, which.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (6:04)

Is the free one. No, you weren't.

Josh Hutcherson (6:06)

I was driving a little 300cc Vespa on the 405 up and over.

Josh Hutcherson (6:10)

Like.

Josh Hutcherson (6:13)

That'S not allowed on the highway, is it?

Josh Hutcherson (6:15)

Yes, it is.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (6:16)

Interesting.

Josh Hutcherson (6:16)

If it's 300cc's or higher, it is freeway legal. I would have that thing pin max. I was coming home and like in the evenings on the 405, I would tuck in behind it and have the throttle fully pinned. I don't. I'm lucky to be here and have full body function like crazy.

Josh Hutcherson (6:34)

What color was the Vespa?

Josh Hutcherson (6:36)

It was a deep blue.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (6:37)

Nice.

Josh Hutcherson (6:38)

Yeah, I love that.

Josh Hutcherson (6:40)

I have a deep fantasy about Vespas. I have a. I have a. An electric bike that I ride around.

Josh Hutcherson (6:47)

Oh, those are great.

Josh Hutcherson (6:48)

My hilly neighborhood that I'm like, this is the closest I'm ever going to get to a scooter or a Vespa. But I cannot believe you went on at age 16 on the 405 on a Vespa.

Josh Hutcherson (7:00)

Yeah. Pretty. Pretty crazy confidence. Blind confidence. Yeah. Yeah. Poorly informed confidence. Yes. Confident. I was.

Josh Hutcherson (7:10)

That is amazing.

Josh Hutcherson (7:11)

But that was such a fun. That shoot was incredible. Yeah.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (7:19)

One of the interesting things about Josh is that he splits his time between Los Angeles and Madrid. His longtime partner is Spanish, so we related to each other on juggling long distance relationships. And he told me what he loves about living in the two very different c. Personally, I'm jealous.

Josh Hutcherson (7:38)

Like the long distance things, if we're both working in different countries and everything, it just kind of gives each other the space to grow independently. And then it's kind of exciting because you get to re. Know each other from this new thing. I don't know, it's.

Josh Hutcherson (7:49)

I. I was away from Justin for. I mean, I would see him. Obviously we weren't away this entire time, but I was working a lot this past summer and I don't know, I feel like.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (8:01)

I don't think it would have worked.

Josh Hutcherson (8:02)

At the beginning for sure. Like, I think we needed to be around each other as much as possible just to like develop that. That foundation.

Josh Hutcherson (8:09)

Absolutely. Yeah.

Josh Hutcherson (8:10)

Now that we've been together, we will have been married. We're coming up on our 13th wedding anniversary together 15, 16 years. You know that that space feels so, I don't know, necessary.

Josh Hutcherson (8:23)

I guess it feels necessary. And to me it's just exciting because obviously we're FaceTiming, we're talking all the time. You find ways to like, be connected.

Josh Hutcherson (8:31)

Yeah.

Josh Hutcherson (8:32)

But just being with someone in the same room, in the same space together and just like cohabitating, it's a different. Different dynamic. And so I don't. We spend that time apart. When you get back together, it's kind of like, oh, okay, yeah. Who are we now?

Josh Hutcherson (8:46)

What's the vibe relationship with la?

Josh Hutcherson (8:50)

You know, it's. It's similar to mine over the years. It's a love hate. Yeah, it's. I think it's. It's hard for me, like going to Spain opened up my eyes to so much and like friendships and family and like this very communal openness that I think LA is challenging sometimes being European and coming here because. Can't get around anywhere. If you don't drive, you're. What do you do? You're Ubering everywhere. There's traffic all the time. Nothing's walkable. Like a very. It's very hard to be walkable.

Josh Hutcherson (9:24)

That's why you moved to this area, because it's like a little walk.

Josh Hutcherson (9:26)

Exactly. So I think it is challenging and I think it's A city where also too, like, we just, we haven't spent that much time here. You know, it's kind of like come for like a month and then we're going to Spain or we're both working. So it's. We never really have settled into like a routine here where you feel like, oh, I've got my yoga class that I go to three times a week. I've got like my. And you kind of like start to build your little work. Exactly. Yeah. So it always feels, I don't know, it's a challenging city. But I think that one thing that we both have been leaning into recently is in a way like enjoying the isolation here. Because in Madrid you live in the streets. Like you're always in a social environment. I think LA is a city where you oftentimes are home alone or just you and your partner or, you know. Yeah. In your car. Totally. And so it gives time to like, slow things down. You can be more introspective and you can work on your own, like developing your own art and not just be like plans, go social all the time. You can just like slow things down in a way that in Madrid you just can't.

Josh Hutcherson (10:30)

It's.

Josh Hutcherson (10:30)

It's so non stop in a great way.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (10:36)

Now for a quick break, but don't go away. When we come back, Josh tells me a story about how his new HBO Max series, I Love la, put some life plans on hold. Okay, be right back.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (10:50)

You know it's that time of the year. Yep. When your routine starts to unravel a little. The travel, the late nights, the let's just grab something quick, Meals. Yeah, yeah, it's here. That time of the year is here. That's honestly why I started drinking AG1, the daily health drink that combines your multivitamin, pre and probiotics, superfoods and antioxidants all in one simple green scoop. It's one of the easiest things you could do to support your body every day. For me, AG1 has become a small but steady anchor in my mornings. I mix it up first thing, usually while I'm making coffee or getting ready to take the dogs out. And it just helps me feel like I've done one solid thing for myself before the day takes over. The new next gen formula has even more vitamins and minerals, and it's clinically shown to fill common nutrient gaps. Plus, the pre and probiotics give my gut health and digestion the extra support I need, especially when my diet's not exactly balanced around the holidays. Oh, and can I just say the berry flavor. Yeah, big upgrade. It actually makes me look forward to drinking something green as we head into the holidays and start thinking about the new year. I love that AG1 is a habit I don't have to overthink. It keeps me consistent even when everything else is chaos. So here's the deal. AG1 has their best offer ever. Head to drinkag1.com dinner to get a free welcome kit, vitamin D3K2, and an AG1 flavor sampler. Plus, you'll get to try their new sleep supplement, AGZ for free, which has been a total game changer for my nightly routine. That's $126 in free gifts for new subscribers at drinkag1.com dinner.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (12:43)

And we're back with more dinners on me.

Josh Hutcherson (12:46)

Tell me again about the girl who created I Love la. Rachel.

Josh Hutcherson (12:49)

Rachel Sennett?

Josh Hutcherson (12:50)

Yeah, Rachel Sennett.

Josh Hutcherson (12:51)

Yeah, yeah.

Josh Hutcherson (12:53)

She created it, stars in it, and also wrote it.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (12:56)

Right.

Josh Hutcherson (12:57)

Did you know her before this, or.

Josh Hutcherson (12:59)

I mean, I know of her work, and I think she's, like, so, so funny. Brilliant writer, great actress, really unique and edgy and funny and, like, just goes for it, which I love.

Josh Hutcherson (13:14)

But. But, yeah, no, so I didn't. I didn't know her before this came around. And I actually had just. Because me and Claudia, like, split time between LA and Madrid, we'd always kind of dreamed about moving to New York or trying it out. See how that works. And so we spent, like, months trying to find an apartment. Found an apartment, leased it for a year in Brooklyn.

Josh Hutcherson (13:37)

I knew you were gonna be in Brooklyn.

Josh Hutcherson (13:38)

Yeah, of course. Come on, Silver Lake. It's a Brooklyn man. Like, what do you think? That's right. And.

Josh Hutcherson (13:46)

And so we're so excited. We're like, okay, we're starting this, like, new chapter. It's so exciting. We always wanted to live in New York and try this out. My mom, who lives in Montana, she. Montana whitefish.

Josh Hutcherson (13:57)

Okay. Northern.

Josh Hutcherson (13:58)

Northern. Oh, no way. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Montana's incredible. But whenever I'm gone for long periods of time, I take my dog to my mom's house in Montana. She's got her dogs, like, property and stuff, so it's a great spot. And the plan was that my mom was going to be driving the dogs from Montana to New York. So me and CL Were in Madrid. We land in New York with our friend Alex. And in the car, driving to Brooklyn to go to, like, start our new lives in Brooklyn. Basically, I had friends renting out my house in la, and my agent calls and is like, hey, how do you feel about going back to the airport right now? Because Rachel, this Rachel show's like, come back around. Cause it kind of was. It was in my world. And then it went away and then it came back and I was like, shit. I was like, I am dying to do this show. But, like, I just moved to New York City. I rented an apartment for a year. I put a down payment on and paid first month's rent. And that's not cheap at all.

Josh Hutcherson (14:56)

But I gotta figure this out. So I had a zoom with Rachel. We hit it off right away. Really vibed on like, what the. What Dylan, my character could be like, and kind of ideas for how he can sort of develop and grow throughout the season and stuff. And then they told me that she wanted me to do it. And so I got out of the lease in New York.

Josh Hutcherson (15:15)

Wow.

Josh Hutcherson (15:15)

Came back to LA and me. And it was actually really nice as me and Cloud were here in LA together with the dogs while I was here shooting. So it was a beautiful, beautiful time in the neighborhood. So, yeah. My New York dreams have been put on pause.

Josh Hutcherson (15:27)

It's always there for you.

Josh Hutcherson (15:28)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (15:29)

It felt like the moment, but I.

Josh Hutcherson (15:30)

Also discovered, like, if you are wanting something, oh, just. Just make a big life, move somewhere else or try to move somewhere else and just not. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

Josh Hutcherson (15:40)

No, absolutely. I need to plan a vacation soon because I need a nice job. Yeah, great. That's.

Josh Hutcherson (15:46)

Make sure you plan like.

Josh Hutcherson (15:49)

An expensive. Yeah. Non refundable, expensive vacation. Do that because then you'll get a good job. That's the trick. Yeah.

Josh Hutcherson (15:56)

Wow.

Josh Hutcherson (15:56)

And that advice is foolproof.

Josh Hutcherson (15:58)

Yeah, it really is.

Josh Hutcherson (15:58)

Yeah.

Josh Hutcherson (15:59)

And there's something to, you know, having something that is so successful and so widely known. I certainly recognize this from Modern Family and being on the show for 11 years, you know, people see you as one thing.

Josh Hutcherson (16:09)

Absolutely.

Josh Hutcherson (16:10)

And you know, you could have. You obviously had many years of working as characters other than PETA and like, you know, all of a sudden it's like that's what they see you as. You know, you feel like you've been Turn into a mold of a person that you can't escape from.

Josh Hutcherson (16:26)

Absolutely.

Josh Hutcherson (16:27)

And I, you know, and it's also.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (16:29)

Very exciting because you're part of this.

Josh Hutcherson (16:30)

Thing that people are so excited about and it's such a cultural moment, but at the same time, it's, you know, it comes with a price to pay.

Josh Hutcherson (16:40)

It definitely does. It comes with a price to play. I'm like, in multiple ways, you know, and.

Josh Hutcherson (16:46)

I like. I remember Jen and I used to always say, like, what was it? It was like.

Josh Hutcherson (16:53)

Anonymity. Like, losing your anonymity is something that you can't actually understand what it's like until you've lost it. Yeah. Like walking into a restaurant. Like, it's hard to imagine walking into a restaurant and everyone like. Or at least perceived in your own delusional mind, which is also true in many ways. You walk into a restaurant, everyone turns, and they see you, and they instantly know who you are. They instead looking at their phone, looking up and looking like, you know this. You've seen this, and like.

Josh Hutcherson (17:19)

Or they have an opinion of you.

Josh Hutcherson (17:20)

They have an opinion of you. Or they're trying to sneak pictures of you so you feel very. You're, like, always on display.

Josh Hutcherson (17:27)

Yeah.

Josh Hutcherson (17:27)

And which is also why people want to see people fail. And because, like, they. They. They think that they know them, and they put them in this box and they want to destroy. I don't know. It's. It's.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (17:35)

It's.

Josh Hutcherson (17:35)

It's dark in that way, you know, and it's a thing that, like, you know, I'm. I'm not gonna sit here and be like, oh, it's so hard being a famous person. Like, there's amazing perks and privileges, and, like, to be in this position that any of us are. Have found success in that way is, like, incredible and so beyond.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (17:55)

It's just something that I don't think.

Josh Hutcherson (17:58)

I can't imagine anyone who would want that, even if you want the greatest success in your career. I think about that couple at the Coldplay concert.

Josh Hutcherson (18:04)

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (18:05)

Like, they lost their anonymity completely.

Josh Hutcherson (18:07)

And, like, they did not want that.

Josh Hutcherson (18:08)

They didn't gain anything from it either. You know what? I. There was no perks there.

Josh Hutcherson (18:12)

No perks.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (18:13)

But, you know, it's sort of like. But that's sort of like what it feels like all of a sudden.

Josh Hutcherson (18:17)

Like, the entire world or whoever's interested in you at that moment has access to you, and it's. It's something I can't imagine anyone's like. Yeah, that sounds fun.

Josh Hutcherson (18:26)

No, I mean, there are definitely people who want fame.

Josh Hutcherson (18:29)

Yeah, absolutely.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (18:29)

But they don't necessarily realize that they're.

Josh Hutcherson (18:31)

They don't know what that comes with, you know? And so, yeah, it is. It is. It's intense. Yeah, it's intense for sure.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (18:40)

Now for a quick break, but don't go away. When we come back, Josh tells me about why directing is on his list. Okay, be right back.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (18:52)

This is a time of year that always sneaks up on me.

That is exactly how I feel about Macy's Friends and Family sale. And it's the big one. The set an alarm on your phone one and it's happening right now. If you know, you know. This is when you jump. This is the moment to knock out your holiday list. And let's be honest, treat yourself a little. Friends and Family is when you get deals on the brands that almost never go on sale. 30% off top gifts plus 15% off beauty and fragrance. Think Lancome, Shiseido, Caroline Herrera. All the Good stuff people actually want to unwrap. And you need holiday outfits. Time of year, 30% off designer party looks and 30 to 60% off men's seasonal suits, overcoats and pants from Hugo Boss, Ted Baker be by Brooks, so you can look pulled together without paying full price. And for the hosts out there, 65% off Christmas dinnerware and table linens from Lenox and Villeroy. Yes, even your takeout looks elegant on a nice plate. And if you're someone who waits for the sale every year like I do, our moment has arrived. Macy's Friends and Family is on now. And once it's gone, it's gone. So go see what the hype is about.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (22:23)

And we're back with more dinners on me.

Josh Hutcherson (22:25)

I bet you'd be a great director, Josh.

Josh Hutcherson (22:28)

Me? Yeah. I love it. I love it so much. I mean, it's a thing that I love so much and that I respect so much that I keep on kicking it down the road to some other time. It's a thing where, like, I. I'm for sure a perfectionist in so many ways. And I think that, like, I seem to make. Start making stuff because it's not going to be perfect, because it doesn't exist. But it's always that thing of, like, I want to find what the story is. I have some ideas, I have nuggets of things to write, but I. I'm always like, yeah, but no, I'm gonna do this. Yeah, but not. You know what I mean? I keep on, like, evading it, but I'm. When that day comes, I will be ready. And I'm part of that, I'm sure, is from a.

Josh Hutcherson (23:11)

Respect. From it as well. Like, you want to do it.

Josh Hutcherson (23:13)

Right.

Josh Hutcherson (23:13)

But I just think. Yeah, I mean, I, I do look at Banks as, like, Elizabeth Banks is like, such an inspiration because I also want to direct.

Josh Hutcherson (23:20)

Yeah.

Josh Hutcherson (23:21)

And I talk to her often about this and, you know, her advice is always just, like, dive in and, like, know that you're not gonna do everything perfectly. And the thing is, as a. Because I'm a perfectionist too, and she reminds me of this and I already know it, but it's nice to hear her say it. You know, when we're putting something together, whether it be a play or a movie or a TV show, there's all these. All these departments that are there to, like, do what they do best. And like, Liz was just like, you have to remind yourself that, you know, you don't have to know about the lighting. You don't have to know about all these things. Like, these people are here to support you and, like, you do what you do well and with confidence, and you're gonna be fine.

Josh Hutcherson (24:00)

And.

Josh Hutcherson (24:01)

Yeah, I feel like. I guess I look at directors as, like, having so much knowledge about everything.

Josh Hutcherson (24:05)

Yeah. I don't know, though. You've also. I know I have. I work with some directors.

Josh Hutcherson (24:09)

You're like, yeah, how are you leading this thing?

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (24:13)

Right. Well, that's what I'm like, well, then.

Josh Hutcherson (24:14)

I should absolutely be doing this.

Josh Hutcherson (24:16)

I know. I do the same thing because I worked with so many directors where I'm like, you walk on water. You're incredible. I don't know how you are so brilliant. I've also worked with a handful that I'm like, they gave you $30 million to make this.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (24:29)

Like, you. Like, it's.

Josh Hutcherson (24:30)

Whoa. So I think that we can chill out a bit.

Josh Hutcherson (24:34)

Yeah, I agree that way.

Josh Hutcherson (24:35)

And I think so much of it is surrounding yourself with those. That's one of the things I love so much about being on sets and that I have since I was a kid was the collaborative thing and, like, getting to see all these different people who are specialized in their fields coming together under the conductor of the director to, like, bring this weird art project into existence.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (25:00)

During my conversation with Josh, we got on the topic of raves.

Josh Hutcherson (25:04)

Yeah.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (25:05)

Let me just say I'm not well versed on this topic, Justin.

Josh Hutcherson (25:10)

In this area, they would do a sunrise rave.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (25:15)

Oh, wow.

Josh Hutcherson (25:15)

In the morning. And Justin went once.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (25:18)

Do you remember? Yeah.

Josh Hutcherson (25:21)

Daybreak. It was called Daybreak. And I have a few friends who went. And I was like, that's not my thing. I'm not a morning person to begin with. But also then just, like, a day.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (25:29)

I'm not a.

Josh Hutcherson (25:30)

Like, I don't want to go to Coachella. I don't want to. Although I have any Coachella. I don't want to be a Burning Man. The word rave just alone is like, that's. That's not for me. But it's.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson (25:41)

It's.

Josh Hutcherson (25:41)

It was a morning rave party.

Josh Hutcherson (25:43)
