Jena Malone and Lem Jay Ignacio did a reddit AMA this morning in support of their band The Shoe's upcoming debut album release (be sure to check out I'm Okay on June 3. Pre-order in their store or iTunes). Jena answered some of your Mockingjay questions during the Q&A and even confirmed  - once again - that she's a Joniss shipper.

We've transcribed all the Hunger Games/Mockingjay-related questions for you but you can also check out the entire reddit AMA HERE.

I've always wondered this about movies - did you really strip naked during the elevator scene in Catching Fire, or did you have something to cover up?

naked!
hahah no not really. I had little stickers on parts I wanted covered

Has it been difficult to interpret Johanna in Mockingjay?

Mockingjay is a whole new world !! It's very thrilling and nerve wracking making it perfect.

First, thanks for doing this AMA! And congrats on the new album! I pre-ordered the vinyl and I'm super psyched to hear it! (Spoilers ahead for those silly enough not to have read the Hunger Games trilogy..)
For Jena - I'm a huge fan of your work and particularly fond of Johanna. Since we only experience Katniss's perception of Johanna after her torture in Mockingjay, how did you get inside her head? How different was portraying this Johanna from the one we know in Catching Fire?


PS - I know you were upset they didn't make a Johanna Mason barbie, and I may or may not definitely have gotten one commissioned by this badass girl who does amazing custom barbies. When I get it, I will definitely post you a photo!

Johanna was very hard bird to crack. I think the first entry into her was discovering what true anger felt like and living in it for a prolonged amount of time.
Can't wait to see a little Johanna doll!

I would like to ask Jena, what was it like to act along with such amazing group in Catching Fire? What would you say about Jennifer Lawrence? And I love The Shoe, really want to get that album. xx

Its been a dream working with the Hunger Games cast. I love them all so much. Jenn is the best person ever (besides my little sister) and she is truly inspiring to work with

Hey Jena, do you have an OTP (One True Pairing) from the Hunger Games? x

I don't know what this is.

You guys create such beautiful music together, you should be seriously proud. Thank you for becoming The Shoe and sharing your magic with us! Jena, YOU SHIP JONISS. You don't understand how crazy we all went when you replied to a fans twitter question the other day and answered with 'Joniss.' How did you come to like Johanna and Katniss together, and do you see them purely as a friendship or do you see the chemistry that hundreds of us can totally see?! Joniss rules.

I recently discovered the whole "joniss" phenomenon and think it is so amazing that the fans have created our backstorys and worlds out of these characters!! I can't help but love it!

Jena, what was the most rewarding experience in filming Catching Fire? Also, did anything funny happen on set? I preordered the signed album. I can't wait!

The most rewarding experience was getting to work the amazing cast. We have all kind of fallen in love with each other so going to work every day is such a treat

Hi Jena! Big fan of yours since Sucker Punch, also loved you as Johanna Mason and congratulations on The Shoe. My question is how was it like filming the Hunger Games now knowing that the end is approaching & that you'll no longer play Johanna Mason?

It makes me sad, actually.

Jena, what was your favourite part of playing Johanna?

The fans!

Hey Jena, do you think you (not Johanna) would be capable of winning the Hunger Games?

Yes!!! I would totally win!
hahah not really prob just run and hide

Hi Jena, If you could have written music for any movie you have already starred in, which would it have been? And would you have preferred writing the score or just a single song?

Gosh we would love to write something for the new Mockingjay films!!
