  • "There's a line that Lucy Gray says: 'I don't sing when I'm told, I sing when I have something to say.' We get to make our voices heard in a way that's meaningful, then you've done your job as a person." Rachel Zegler grew up watching Katniss Everdeen in 'The Hunger Games' trilogy, but it all came full circle when she got the call offering for her to play the role of Lucy Gray Baird in 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.' Rachel breaks down her entire process for the film, from going to Poland to shoot the movie, taking on dialect lessons, the unique costumes she got to wear and so much more.
    THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES is now available on Premium Video on Demand from Lionsgate®, just in time for the holidays.

      People really need to stop watching and reading things on TikTok and other fake gossip/rumours about her. I get that people weren’t happy about how she commented on the Snow White original, but that doesn’t mean they should hate her straight away. They don’t even know her. There is more to her then those comments that people have been talking her, and in this interview, I can tell that she is genuine, and kind and she has passion for her job and her performance in The ballad of songbirds and snakes was phenomenal. I really do hope that one day people will open their eyes and see who she really is.

    I love Rachel Zegler so much. It’s strange because she reminds me so much of who I am, and at the same time she’s the type of person I wanna be. She’s so passionate over everything she does and is in complete awe of the people who she feels fortunate to have. She’s one of the most humble, sweet, charismatic people out there. I could genuinely listen to her talk for hours, and watching her in any movie never gets boring.
