Esquire's new shortlist of up-and-coming young men with major movie-star potential made us look twice—and not just because it's round, firm and fully-packed with six extremely ogle-worthy hotties. Because while the guys featured all have good looks, great style and mad acting skills, a full 50 percent of them have another something special in common: They've been considered for the all-important and probably iconic role of "Hunger Games" heartthrob Finnick Odair. And hmmmmm, isn't that interesting?
Although they're likely not in the running anymore (insert obligatory grumbling about how long the casting is taking), Esquire featurees Garrett Hedlund, Armie Hammer, and Taylor Kitsch have all been named at one point or another as contenders to play the District 4 tribute. And while we're not saying that the good folks at Esquire have been tracking the "Finnick" tag on tumblr in search of a few fine fellows to showcase in this article...well, we're not saying they weren't, either. Because they obviously did. Maybe.
Anyway, whether it's an intentional nod to the "Hunger Games" fandom or just a happy coincidence, you can still enjoy the spectacle of three early Finnick picks, finely styled for stardom and standing together in one photo... and if that doesn't get you clicking, perhaps the words "Idris Elba in a slim-cut suit" will do the trick. Because daaaaaaaaaamn.
What do you think: Did Esquire mine the "Catching Fire" casting forums for ideas on who to feature?
