Sam Claflin: Hot Enough to Play Finnick Odair?
by Hilton Hater at .In Catching Fire, Finnick Odair is described as extraordinarily confident and attractive.
He beds ladies in the Capitol, he wears very little clothing, he handles a trident like a champion.
But in light of Entertainment Weekly giving fans their first look at Sam Claflin in this role, many have voiced their complaints online, most of which go something like this:
YECH!
Having hoped for a well-known Hollywood beefcake such as Ryan Gosling or Channing Tatum to take on the character, Hunger Games lovers are going off to Yahoo.
"I personally don't think he is hot ENOUGH to be Finnick," writes a user named Macey. "He's hot, sure, just not the 'Finnick hot' impression you get from reading the book."
So let the debate commence, THGers: is Sam Claflin hot enough to portray Finnick Odair?

He looks like James Holmes.
I don't know... I always portrayed Gaspard Ulliel as finnick before this..
Alright, now that Sam Claflin has the part there's nothing more to be done about it. But can they PLEASE cast Astrid Berges-Frisbey as Annie? They already know she and Sam have good chemistry from the last Pirates of the Caribbean film!
