Thor: Chris Hemsworth

Thor: Chris Hemsworth The stars of Thor hit Sydney for the world premiere of the comic-book blockbuster. BBM’s BEN HARLUM caught up with Chris Hemsworth on the red carpet to discuss his role as the title character.

How do you and your brother solve family conflict, compared to Thor and Loki?
Thor: Chris Hemsworth Yeah, it’s a little different to those two who attempt to kill each other. We try to keep things a bit more civilised, but when we were younger things got a bit physical.

What’s the pressure like working on a blockbuster film, it’s a bit different to working on Home and Away…

It’s all relative because when I walked into Home and Away, meeting Alf Stewart was like meeting Anthony Hopkins because you have a huge respect for them. What I learnt in both Thor and Home and Away were hugely beneficial to me and I couldn’t have felt more supported. Walking into Thor with names like Anthony and Natalie Portman, you wonder how you’re going to do it but they all had such incredible passion and no ego so it was easy.

The films about personal growth, how do you think the film has helped you grow as a person?

I guess just being available to learn, and walking in with an open mind instead of a fixed opinion on what you’re going to do. Ken was all about exploring things, which is very freeing for an actor.

Thor is in cinemas now.
