The reporter asked Banks if Lawrence, 24, could perform magic, and once again, her response was classic.

"She can't do any magic," Banks said of Lawrence. "Except entrancing nations to fall in love with her. But she really enjoys magic tricks."

Sam Claflin, who plays Finnick Odair, also had another amusing tale.

“I think seeing her yesterday for the first time in a while, one of the first things she said was ‘Have you farted?’ I was like ‘What? No!’ Who greets someone who you haven’t seen for months, with that!?” he said.
