When asked about how they feel about embodying cultural icons, each of them seemed to share the same sense of disbelief:
HUTCHERSON When you see the tons of people screaming and going crazy… I have the same problem that Peeta does of distinguishing reality from not reality. So for me, that’s not real. It seems so strange.
LAWRENCE It’s like you’re an avatar of yourself.
HEMSWORTH You get back into the car after a premiere and it’s dead silent and you’re like…
LAWRENCE “I’m glad that’s over.”
Hopefully this trio will be enjoying long and lucrative careers, well after the screaming crowds of young adults are gone. Lawrence then commented on the scene she was most worried about filming during the finale's 152-day shoot:
LAWRENCE I was excited about the scene at the end of the movie when I shoot my arrow—I won’t give it away— because when I was doing my archery training at age 20, that was always the scene I pictured. Five years ago I used to look at a stack of hay and pretend that it was this moment, and now it is here.
Book readers surely know what "that scene" is, but it should prove to be a very climactic one for viewing audiences as well. Be sure to head over to EW for more from the stars of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2, which wraps up the film franchise later this fall.
