Jennifer Lawrence Kicked Hunger Games Co-Star Josh Hutcherson in the Face and Gave Him a Concussion (VIDEO)

If there was ever a question about which Hunger Games star would win in a real-life version of the games, look no further than Jennifer Lawrence … before she pulls a Katniss Everdeen and roundhouse kicks you in the face, of course.

Unfortunately, that's a lesson Jennifer's co-star Josh Hutcherson learned the hard way. When he stopped by the Late Show yesterday, he revealed that Jennifer actually knocked him out in one fell swoop. And the best part? They weren't even in character!

"We weren't even filming. We were just goofing around, and like doing some shadow boxing for fun … as one does," the 19-year-old actor told David Letterman last night. "She throws this beautiful kick, but it landed right on my temple and literally knocked me to the ground and I was down."

Poor Peeta!

"I was seeing stars and she was freaking out. She was crying, and I was patting her back while I had an ice pack on my head … I actually come to find out I had a full-on concussion."

Look on the bright side, Josh. At least she didn't use her arrow.

The Hunger Games opens tonight, March 23, 2012 at midnight. Do you have your tickets?!
