Ever since landing the role of the young love-struck Philip in the last Pirates of the Caribbean flick (he's the one who fell for the mermaid), Claflin's been setting up his breakthrough potential stateside; his turn as the moony-eyed Prince in SWATH pitted him against Chris Hemsworth for Kristen Stewart's affections, and while the Finnick role in the Hunger Games saga isn't a central character, it's a notable character that offers Claflin the chance to play more than just a pretty romantic figure.
As a District 4 career Tribute who became something of a sex symbol after his Hunger Games victory, the flirty Finnick is known for using his charm and beauty to his advantage although there are much deeper layers roiling beneath the surface.
