Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth revealed some interesting tidbits today while joining Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence and some lucky fans for a Google+ Hangout.

While The Hunger Games costars answered a variety of questions from fans, J.Law shared that she actually lost her hearing while shooting the anticipated sequel.

"I went deaf in one ear for two and a half weeks. I had a double ear infection, because I had to keep diving into the water," she said, adding that the jets from the water punctured her eardrum. Yikes!

Speaking of injuries, Liam talked about hurting his shoulder nearly six months ago from doing a cartwheel. Yep, you read that right.

When asked what skill each actor would perform for the Game Makers, Hemsworth said, "I dislocated my shoulder doing a cartwheel just recently actually. So I wouldn't do a cartwheel. That's what I wouldn't do…My friend did a one-handed cartwheel and then I tried to do it on my left arm—not my strong arm—dislocated it. Ouch! Off to the doctor, pop it back in."

Additionally, viewers found out that Hutcherson is an amazing dancer (can someone arrange a dance battle, please?) and Lawrence explained that her dramatic pixie cut was done just because her hair was fried from all of the dye jobs.

But that's just the beginning! Watch the chat below and find out more from the Catching Fire cast!

Meanwhile, the second installment in the series, Catching Fire, hits theaters Nov. 22.
