The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes looks set to tell the story of a young President Snow, meaning it takes place decades before Katniss Everdeen was born. 

Despite that, rumours have persisted that Jennifer Lawrence will make a cameo appearance in the prequel, something she was quick to debunk during a recent appearance on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live (via SFFGazette.com).

With the action set to play out 49 years prior to the events of The Hunger Games, the fan who submitted the question suggested Lawrence could play Katniss' grandmother. "Oh, 'cause I'm 49 in Hollywood years, huh?" the actress quipped before adding, "No, that's not true."

Even after Lawrence recently expressed an interest in one day returning as Katniss, we're not exactly surprised by these comments. However, this interview also gave her the opportunity to shoot down another big rumour which has circulated on social media in recent months.

There have long been claims that Lawrence and her The Hunger Games co-star Liam Hemsworth had a fling, with the latter's ex-wife, Miley Cyrus, adding fuel to the fire a few months ago in her "Flowers" music video (we know, we know...).

In that, the singer was shown wearing a gold dress similar to the one Lawrence wore to a premiere alongside Hemsworth in 2012. The internet being the internet, this was taken as apparent "confirmation" he'd cheated on Cyrus with the Katniss actress. 

To that theory, Lawrence simply responded, "Not true. Not true, total rumor. We all know Liam and I, like, kissed one time. It was years after they broke up. So I just assume [the music video] was a coincidence."

You can see more in the video below. As for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, it's set to be released in theaters on November 17.

I think she’s more composed in recent interviews because she’s trying to amend how shitty of a person she was in the past 🤔

I guess a baby really changes your perspective hehe

I believe her when she says she won't have any cameo. Her transparency is just like Grant Gustin's when he said that he was not hiding some big elaborate secret about appearing in The Flash film.

The Hunger Games sure were an awesome saga, but not sure how she could return unless Suzanne Collins comes up with a sequel after Mockingjay.

Saw as well No Hard Feelings last week, decent comedy but I really would like to find the time to watch Causeway.

I remember her being soooooo uninterested in the X-Men films. Almost like she felt like she was better than those films. I bet now she wishes for a big budget film🤡

@MisterDoctor217 -

She is still a dimwitted Hollywood airhead who was once outwitted by a candy bar.

Her response doesnt make any sense they asked if she could play Katniss's grandmother in the prequel set 50 years before the hunger games, so her grandmother actually would be 17 or 20

Didn't Carrie Fischer decades later admit to having an on set affair with Harrison Ford while they both denied it prior to that revelation? Let people be people. Affairs happen. It's not hard to believe actors and actresses develop some sort of sexual and romantic attraction while filming. You have coworkers who have affairs or hookups in all types of industries.

So this is what this site is now? It's bad enough when the coverage of actual comic book movies are unfair and unbalanced, but now this is a site that's just repeating trashy TMZ-style b.s. for clicks?

WHAT does this have to do with anything?
