After two years, Josh Hutcherson has finally confirmed that he is in a relationship with his Escobar: Paradise Lost co-star, Claudia Traisac. The two met while they were making the movie.

"It's pretty good," said the Hunger Games star about their romance at the Hollywood premiere of Escobar: Paradise Lost. "Distance is hard, but we make it work."

Traisac also spoke about their relationship. "I'm really happy," Traisac said. "It's really great."

In the movie, Hutcherson plays a surfer from Canada who finds the girl of his dreams, played by Traisac, while visiting Colombia.

Unfortunately, she also happens to be one of the nieces of the drug king pin Pablo Escobar, played by Benicio Del Toro.

The film is an action thriller, which will have Hutcherson running for his life to escape Escobar's murderous cartel.

In one of the scenes, Hunger Games star is seen defending himself with a barrage of double fisted gun shooting.

Hutcherson recalls shooting the scene. "That was awesome," he said. "I felt so badass. It was really cool."

He did not feel as "badass" when his character has to grab a little boy by the throat and scream at him to try to get him to leave town because his life is also in danger.

"It's intense," said Hutcherson about the emotional scene. "I don't yell at people. I'm not a yeller. I'm very much a pacifist. For me, to be yelling is very uncharted territory."
