E! Online Talks to Evan Ross at SXSW

Warning: This post contains Mockingjay spoilers.

Actor Evan Ross, who is the son of famous singer Diana Ross and plays Messalla in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, spoke with E! Online while at SXSW and chatted a bit about his time on set and his thoughts on Jennifer Lawrence.

“Jennifer Lawrence is one of the coolest people I’ve ever met,” Ross, who plays Messalla in the Hunger Games: Mockingjay movies, told me while promoting The Wilderness of James at SXSW. “Like, who are you? She’s incredible. And she’s the funniest person I’ve ever met. Like, she’s just cool.”

Sure, we’ve heard that before, but we’re still not tired of hearing it. Watch the video on E! Online.

For those of you who haven’t read Mockingjay in a while, Messalla is Cressida’s assistant. He’s also the crew member who dies a truly horrific death when he accompanies Squad 451 to the Capitol. Whether this scene will be depicted as described in the book remains to be seen, but it’s difficult to imagine that would pass for a PG-13 rating.
