Who is Chris Hemsworth – Super muscular “Thor”: Bio, Acting Career, Physique Training

Chris Hemsworth in his mid-30 has been picked as one of the hottest man in the world.

Who Is Chris Hemsworth?

Born on August 11, 1983, Australian heartthrob Chris Hemsworth has made quite a name for himself by swinging his hammer as Marvel comic book character Thor, starring in several films under that title and in related features like The Avengers. The Melbourne native and married dad has also earned leading roles in Snow White and the Huntsman, Rush and In the Heart of the Sea, while showing his comedic chops in reboots of Vacation and Ghostbusters.

Early Life

Chris Hemsworth was born on August 11, 1983, in Melbourne, Australia. Surfing was his No. 2 passion — which his siblings also shared — but Hemsworth knew that his first love was acting. After attending Heathmont Secondary College, the aspiring star snagged minor roles in television shows Down Under. Hemsworth has one older brother, Luke, and one younger brother, Liam. Both his brothers are actors as well.

Hemsworth followed in the footsteps of other famous Aussies like Heath Ledger, Isla Fisher, Simon Baker and Naomi Watts by becoming a regular on the soap opera Home and Away. In 2007, after three seasons of playing character Kim Hyde, he headed stateside to continue his entertainment career.

Filmography

Before Fame

Despite not receiving the role he auditioned for, he was called back and given a role on the Australian soap opera Home and Away in 2004.

It didn't take long for the actor to make it onto the American silver screen when he appeared in J.J. Abrams' 2009 remake of Star Trek. His part as Captain James T. Kirk's dad may have been small, but it was enough of a performance to lead to a huge Hollywood opportunity.

'Thor'

Hemsworth auditioned for the lead in the superhero film Thor. He went up against some stiff competition, including younger brother Liam. But director Kenneth Brannagh chose the older Hemsworth to play the Norse god in the 2011 flick opposite Oscar-winners Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins. This box-office success elevated Hemsworth to A-List status.

A Perfect Getaway

Directed by: David Twohy

Rotten Tomattoes assesses: Out of all the Avengers stars, Chris Hemsworth had the easiest time selling his character to the world. Not just because he looks like a Norse god when you give him a hammer and a funny hat, but because audiences had virtually seen no other prior Hemsworth performances to influence their perception of him. Before arriving on American shores, Hemsworth shot 171 episodes of long-running Australian soap Home and Away (approximately 2.5% of total episodes to date). He made a notable corpse in the Star Trek reboot as George Kirk in the opening scene. And that about sums up Hemsworth’s pre-Thor career. Since his 2011 MCU debut, Hemsworth has shown a loyalty not just to franchises (he’s been in both Huntsman movies, and came back for Star Trek Into Darkness) but directors, like Ron Howard (Rush, In the Heart of the Sea) and Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods, Bad Time as the El Royale). It suggests Hemsworth is an affable sort, a quality that helped him steer Thor through two decent-to-average movies before blossoming in the renegade Thor: Ragnarok, and becoming the true hero of Avengers: Infinity War. Most recently, he had one of the first post-quarantine movie hits with Netflix’s Extraction, a rough action throwback produced by the Russo brothers. He’ll be back at some point for a second Extraction, and definitely in 2021 for Thor: Love & Thunder.

Chris Hemsworth’s marriage

Chris Hemsworth and Madrid-born actress Elsa Pataky, 44, tied the knot in December 2010, two months after making their red carpet debut at an event hosted by LACMA in Los Angeles. Looking back on his whirlwind romance with the Spanish starlet, Hemsworth admitted that getting married quickly “just felt right.” The celebrity couple share three children daughter India, 8, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, 6 together.

Muscular Training

Of all the actors who had to pack on mass for a movie, few in recent memory have taken to the task with such zeal, and notable success, as Chris Hemsworth when he landed the part of Thor. For the first film, Hemsworth hit the gym with trainer and former Navy SEAL Duffy Gaver, who applied an old-school bodybuilding approach—with careful attention given to Hemsworth’s arms and shoulders. Thor, after all, often appears sleeveless, but rarely shirtless. All told, Hemsworth gained 20 pounds, laying the foundation for a physique he’s maintained at or close to peak condition for Thor’s recurring role in The Avengers and the solo sequel, Thor: The Dark World.

Hemsworth in particular was a model of consistency, and the physique he built has made “Chris Hemsworth Workout” the top search suggestion when you punch the actor’s name into Google. The Internet, though, is a minefield of shameless, click-baiting “Thor Workout” imitators. Fortunately, you don’t need to look any further than the full, unabridged template we present here, with exercises demonstrated by IFBB physique pro Sadik Hadzovic. So get ready to hit the gym, and remember: There are no shortcuts.

“People see Chris and they think he was on steroids, but he didn’t touch a single substance,” Gaver says. “It was just red meat, heavy weights and some protein powder. He crushed every single workout. He simply decided to look like Thor.”

Chris Hemsworth Just Shared a Look at His Grueling Thor: Love and Thunder Training

While Hemsworth's previous gym posts have involved showing off his jacked arms with tire flips and his speedwork in boxing, this latest video shows him completing a physically grueling circuit of sled pushes and pulls.

The roped sled pull is a simple but highly effective exercise used to burn fat and boost metabolism while simultaneously developing strength and muscle, favored by the likes of NFL linebacker James Harrison and actor Mark Wahlberg. But while it is customary to load the sled with weights, Hemsworth has been doing things a little differently: in the video, he hauls his trainer Luke Zocchi back and forth on the sled across the gym.

The clip only lasts a matter of seconds, but it is clear the workout is a grueling one; Hemsworth is so exhausted by the end that he collapses, prompting a friend to comment that he looks very close to throwing up.
