Sam Claflin (Finnick) spoke with InStyle UK recently, and revealed his thoughts on all things "Catching Fire":

On co-star Jennifer Lawrence:
"She was amazing -- love her to bits. I have all the time in the world for her and she's obviously doing hugely well." Though he joked that her recent run of success may mean she's now rethinking their relationship: "It got to a point where I was texting her every day saying: "Congratulations, congratulations again for something else, congratulations on your nomination, congratulations on winning" and I think she must be bored of my English voice by now!"
On "Catching Fire":
"I'm hugely excited to see it, but nervous to be honest. We worked so hard and had so much fun." And it seems the hard graft wasn't just reserved to Sam's on-set experience -- his diet for the active role also proved a struggle: "People think I exaggerate when I say I literally ate chicken and asparagus every day, twice a day for three/four months."

On getting back to reality:
Having nearly wrapped the movie, Sam says he's more than ready to tuck back into a few hearty meals and settle back into reality: "I recently bought a house, well a year ago, but it's a matter of making it my own. So I've just been spending some time with my fiance and back to reality. I'm living the dream!"
