Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth help Woody Harrelson with 'SNL' monologue

"I'm not Taylor Swift. I'm Jennifer. We've done about 10 'Hunger Games' movies together," Lawrence told Harrelson, who pretended he didn't recognize her because of all the drugs he has used over the years.

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.
