Liam Hemsworth: ‘Hunger Games’ Hunk Turns 26 — Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Liam Hemsworth! The Hunger Games actor turned 26 on Jan. 13 and in celebration of another year older, we’re kicking off his birthday festivities with a look back on his greatest moments from the past 12 months. Join us as we help Liam celebrate his special day!

The past year has been one of Liam Hemsworth’s best. From finding his way back to Miley to getting cast as the starring role in a new film, it’s pretty obvious that Liam has been enjoying life to its fullest. And better yet? He’s just getting started! We’re wishing Liam a happy birthday by recapping his 25th year — help us celebrate!

Liam’s year was a great one, but nonetheless, his biggest news from the past 12 months had to do with Miley! His year was surrounded by the buzz of him and Miley getting back together. The rumors were so strong in fact that the couple couldn’t hide their love for one another any longer come November.

Liam lucked out and got a new dog plus a new (well, kind of new) girl on Nov. 14 when Miley picked out a puppy for Liam to adopt. The news spread like wildfire and, since adopting a pup together is anything but casual, signaled to the world that yes, MIAM was officially back on!

Since then, Miley and Liam have been inseparable — Miley even canceled a performance to stay in Australia with her beau after New Year’s Eve, talk about commitment! From admitting his love for Miley, to getting back together, and finally being open about their rekindled romance, this has been one crazy-exciting year for Liam in the relationship department. But we think that 2016 may just top it! Rumor has it, Miley is planning to propose  in the near future!

But love hasn’t been the only thing on Liam’s mind. He’s also had a hugely successful year on the big screen as well as on television! Fans everywhere said a sad goodbye in November when the last installment of The Hunger Games debuted. Liam, who played Gale Hawthorne from 2012 to 2015, walked away from the films a megastar, which helped him land the role of himself in The Muppets TV show. Liam guest starred for one episode alongside Kermit and Miss Piggy in the hilarious show that premiered in September.

Liam’s next step in Hollywood is his starring role in the Independence Day sequel, Independence Day: Resurgence, set to hit theaters in July. It was announced in January of 2015 that the actor would take on the coveted role of Jake Morrison, and we can’t wait to see what he does with the part! Although 25 treated Liam well, we have a feeling that 26 is going to be even more epic!
