NEW YORK, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemswoth helped out their Hunger Games co-star Woody Harrelson during his monologue on Saturday Night Live this weekend.
Harrelson was riffing on Taylor Swift's song 1989 -- and how he barely remembers that year because of his excessive drug use -- when Hutcherson and Hemsworth appeared on stage.
"Josh and Liam! I haven't seen you since we did that thing together. What was that?" Harrelson wondered.
When the actors reminded him they worked together on several Hunger Games films, Harrelson said: "Oh, yeah, yeah. You guys here to help me sing the Taylor Swift song about 1989?"
"Actually, we weren't even alive in 1989," Hutcherson noted.
"Oh, my God! I thought you guys were like in your early 40s," Harrelson confessed.
"I'm 24 and he's 22," Hemsworth said.
A moment later, Lawrence appeared on the stage, prompting Harrelson to drop to his knees and hug her leg, exclaiming: "The real Taylor Swift. This is great!"
"I'm not Taylor Swift. I'm Jennifer. We've done about 10 Hunger Games movies together," Lawrence informed him.
"Sorry. I didn't recognize you without the big, purple hair," Harrelson replied.
"No, Woody, that's Elizabeth Banks," Hemsworth clarified.
Harrelson then asked his co-stars to sing 1989 with him.
"I don't really think anyone wants to hear me sing," Lawrence said, adding after the audience applauded: "I wasn't saying that to get your support. I don't care. When I sing, I sound like a deer that has been caught in a fence."
Hemsworth teased, "I'd say it's more like a dog being hit by a truck."
"Or that goat that screams like a human," Hutcherson offered.
"I think they get the point," Lawrence said.
The actors then sang backup to Harrelson's own version of the popular song.
