Katniss Everdeen would be proud.

"The Hunger Games" franchise star Jennifer Lawrence, in a recent interview, went in with no holds barred as regards her opinion on presidential hopeful Donald Trump.

"If Donald Trump becomes president, that will be the end of the world," the 25-year-old actress shared.

Co-stars Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson apparently shared their leading lady's sentiment.

"I'll back you up on that," Hemsworth said.

Hutcherson, still in disbelief about Trump's run for the presidency, stated, "It's a publicity stunt." He adds, "It can't be real."

To this, Lawrence agreed, and potentially alluded to the plot surrounding "The Hunger Games," particularly, the character of President Snow.

"I genuinely believe that reality television has reached the ultimate place where now even things like this might just be for entertainment," she said. "It's either that or it's Hillary's brilliant idea."

Lawrence stands against Trump's disparaging remarks on women, the Hispanic and Asian community, as well as his fellow candidates.

"I was watching him on the campaign trail and one guy said, 'I love Donald Trump because he's saying everything I'm thinking and I just can't say it because of the PC factor,' and I'm thinking, 'You are absolutely right. That's who I want representing my country, somebody politically incorrect. That will be perfect,'" she added.

The American actress gained her first major role as a lead cast member on the TBS sitcom "The Bill Engvall Show." She won a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the romantic comedy "Silver Linings Playbook." She is the second youngest actress to have won the latter. For her supporting role in the comedy-drama "American Hustle," she garnered another Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA Award, and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Her big break came with the heroine role of Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" series. The success of the franchise led to her becoming the highest-gross action heroine of 2015.

The fourth installment in the series, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" is set to be released on Nov. 20, 2015.
