Sweating it out! Josh Hutcherson shows off his prowess on the volleyball court as he hosts a celebrity charity match

Josh Hutcherson showed off his athletic prowess at a celebrity volleyball match on Sunday.

The 22-year-old actor appeared very gung ho as he hosted the sporting event at the ASICS World Series of Beach Volleyball in Long Beach, California.

The Hunger Games star was in fine form as he served the ball to the opposing team, led by retired NFL player Terrell Owens.

Josh seemed to be exerting a good deal of effort, as evidenced by the sweat matting his hair to his forehead.

Representing his team, Josh sported a navy blue tank top paired with faded black denim shorts, while concealing his eyes behind Ray Ban sunglasses.

Terrell, 41, wore white to represent his team, paired with black and white checkered board shorts.

Josh hosted this year's celebrity match in order to raise money for the charity, Straight But Not Narrow, which was launched in 2011 by his good friend, actor Avan Jogia.

The organization aims to positively influence straight youth and young adults in regards to their perception of and behaviour toward their LGBT peers.

'Some sun, sand, music, and sports…the perfect combo, and all for a good cause,' Josh said in a press release.

'There have been a lot of great things happening recently for the LGBT community, but there's still a lot to do.'

Josh has been an outspoken advocate for gay rights, following in the footsteps of his mother.

The actor has two gay uncles who died from AIDS around the time he was born.

Josh also has an open mind when it comes to his sexuality.

'I would probably list myself as mostly straight,' he told Out magazine in 2013. 

'Maybe I could say right now I'm 100% straight. But who knows? In a f**king year, I could meet a guy and be like, "Whoa, I'm attracted to this person."

'I've met guys all the time that I'm like, "Damn, that's a good-looking guy," you know?

'I've never been, like, "Oh, I want to kiss that guy." I really love women. But I think defining yourself as 100% anything is kind of near-sighted and close-minded.'
