@spainadur: Mckenna Grace Reveals Her Body Went Into F*ght-Or-Flight Mode Filming The New Hunger Games Prequel Mckenna Grace has been acting since she was just five years old. Now, the 20-year-old actress is starring in the highly anticipated prequel, *The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping*. She plays twins Maysilee and Merrilee Donner in the movie, which arrives in theaters on November 20. But despite weeks of gym preparation, Grace admitted she was completely unprepared for the emotional and physical toll the role would take. She revealed that the heavy cardio and daily stunts left her feeling like she was in the arena for real. According to Grace, putting her body into f*ght-or-flight mode every day meant she couldn’t tell the difference between acting and actual trauma. She said she would go home feeling completely exhausted, like she had almost d*ed on set. But the challenging production also brought an unexpected bright spot for the young star. Growing up in the entertainment industry was often isolating, and she faced intense online scrutiny as a teenager. This project was one of the first times she got to work alongside a cast of people her own age. She described the experience of filming in Berlin and bonding with her co-stars as feeling like summer camp. After years of struggling with insecurity in the public eye, she is finally embracing a fun new season of life.
