“What was it like to go back to Katniss,” Alex Cooper asked.
Jennifer responded, “Unbelievable. It was so crazy because it was it was the same crew. It was the same camera guys, the same AD who I’ve worked with a million times too cause I love him and Josh and Woody and it was so emotional. It was Josh and I… [we] didn’t walk to the bathroom without our arms around each other. It was so beautiful. It’s really cute. I’m excited.”
She added, “And Woody obviously came through the window of my hotel room uninvited cause it would not be the same.”
