Liam Hemsworth hurt himself during a stunt on the set of Catching Fire last week, not that he let the pain interfere with production on the highly anticipated Hunger Games sequel.

“I twisted my knee,” the actor tells USA Today. “I try to just fight through it. There’s so many people standing around waiting for you to do your thing. You feel sort of obligated not to let everyone down.”

Cast and crew have been working on Catching Fire in Atlanta for the last month, and the role has been physically demanding on Hemsworth even before hurting his knee.

The star says he had to lose some weight before filming.

He explains, “It’s The Hunger Games. My character needs to look hungry. A little bit.”

Catching Fire will be released in November 2013, with two more movies (based on the novel “Mockingjay”) due in theaters in 2014 and 2015.
