Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Francis Lawrence took to Facebook yesterday to talk The Hunger Games: Catching Fire with Mashable's Kurt Wagner and to premiere a brand new clip from the movie. Check out the full Q&A below.
"Nice to meet all of your phones," actress Jennifer Lawrence jokingly said to Facebook employees who were photographing her onstage just moments before she participated in a Q&A panel Wednesday at Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif.
During the 45-minute panel, Lawrence recounted how she "had to pee into a bucket" on set while wearing a wedding dress. She also said that the hardest and most emotional scene to tape was the one in which Katniss couldn't say goodbye to her family. Lawrence, who sported a new pixie cut, also poked fun at her digital skills.

"I've never been so confused in my whole life," she said when asked how it felt to visit Facebook. "I'm so technologically so dumb."
Near the end of the panel, the trio of actors talked about their Facebook use. Lawrence even conceptualized a fake Facebook status.
"I'm sweating — that would be my status, and it would never change," she said.

If you weren't able to watch the #GlobalFanDay Catching Fire cast Google+ hangout with Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Francis Lawrence, here's the whole video. It's worth tucking in for the full 45 minutes. There were so many insights about Catching Fire and, of course, the banter between the cast is priceless as always.
Liam Hemsworth stopped by The Tonight Show With Jay Leno last night to talk The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. He also introduced a new clip from the film and shared some excellent Jennifer Lawrence-ness from the set.
"She's, obviously, one of the best actresses I've ever worked with. She's incredible. On set she's an absolute maniac, but in the best way possible. There's no filter. She says whatever she wants, any time she wants. She's number one, so she kind of sets the bar for everyone, and when she's that unfiltered, everyone else becomes that unfiltered. Right before action, literally a SECOND before action, she'll turn to me and ask me if I have sex with kangaroos or anything like that. It's those kinds of questions, non-stop, all day long. (laughs) Then they'll call action and she'll go deadpan and walk straight into the scene and I'm standing like this, like, what are we doing?! She's a nutcase but she's the best."
