"She's actual mother," the West Side Story star captioned the video.
The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is set 64 years before the first Hunger Games movie, and focuses on a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) as he mentors Baird.
Lawrence was recently asked about the possibility of appearing in the prequel for a cameo during a chat on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, with one fan suggesting she could play "Katniss' grandmother".
"Oh, ’cause I’m 49 in Hollywood years, huh?" she joked, before adding: "No! That's not true."

The star also revealed what props she took home from the blockbuster franchise's set, sharing: "I took a lot, I literally took a lot of stuff. But it also just kind of happens naturally.
"I took a bow and arrow, but I had to practice with the bow and arrow, it was mine. It was in my trunk when we wrapped, so I drove home with it."
The star also revealed that "the boots from every movie are just in [her] shoe closet," adding: "I’ll sometimes just be like, 'Oh, that's Hunger Games stuff'."
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will be released in cinemas on November 17, 2023. The previous Hunger Games movies are available to stream on Prime Video UK.
