The cast of the original Hunger Games movies (centered on Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth) has grown up quite a bit since the final movie premiered in 2015. Some of them have even become parents since leaving Panem behind.

In honor of the impending release of the prequel movie The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, we rounded up all 14 members of the original cast who are parents!

Here’s some fun facts about who landed on the list. Only one actor here plays a character who will also appear in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (played by a different actor). Several parents here have given birth to children who are also famous.

Most importantly, the most recent addition to this list became a first-time parent earlier this year.

Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson were so essential to the success of The Hunger Games, that they are still associated with the roles to this day.

They simply are Katniss Everdeen, Gale Hawthorne and Peeta Mellark.

However, that wasn’t a guarantee. Based on the success of author Suzanne Collins‘ books, the movie adaptations were one of the hottest projects in Hollywood when they were first announced. Everyone wanted to be part of the cast, and a lot of young stars were considered for each role.

Jennifer was cast before Josh and Liam, and reports at the time reveal exactly who was thought to be in the running. For Gale, Liam was one of four actors that were on a shortlist.

Before landing the part, his biggest role was beside Miley Cyrus in The Last Song. Of course, he has since become one of the biggest stars in the industry. What about his competitors?
