Josh Hutcherson shocked everyone when he tweeted that he had gotten plastic surgery in 2012. The actor wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, “just had surgery to fix my broken nose. recovery sucks … thank god for a marathon on lifetime.” Fans filled the comments with well-wishes on his recovery, but many were also confused about how the actor could have broken his nose. Did it happen when he was filming the sequel to “The Hunger Games?” Did it happen on his off time? This was running through many fans’ minds, but it turns out Hutcherson didn’t actually break his nose.
Hutcherson’s reps later revealed to E! News that the actor had undergone nose surgery, better known as a rhinoplasty, to fix a deviated septum. According to the Mayo Clinic, a deviated septum is the result of a “nasal septum is significantly displaced to one side, making one nasal air passage smaller than the other.” This can make it more difficult to breathe, and many turn to plastic surgery to get it fixed — Hutcherson included. It’s unclear how long the recovery was, but the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” actor had been spotted out in Los Angeles on several occasions rocking a bandage on his nose. Without his full recovery on display, many probably wouldn’t even be able to tell that Hutcherson had any work done.
