Thor: Jaimie Alexander

Thor: Jaimie Alexander The stars of Thor hit Sydney for the world premiere of the comic-book blockbuster. BBM’s BEN HARLUM caught up with the beautiful Jaimie Alexander on the red carpet to discuss her role as Sif.

Can you explain a bit about the audition process?
Thor: Jaimie Alexander I had heard that the film was being cast and I thought I could play the role and asked if I could go in and audition. They thought I looked like the comic book character so I read for the part, had a Skype conversation with Ken, and ended up getting the part.

Did they whip you into shape in preparation for the film?

They did, I actually lost twenty pounds to play the part. A healthy twenty pounds, and I gained a bit of muscle too.

What about Ken as a director, coming from an acting background what was his style like?

I’m so glad he was an actor first because he gave us so much creative freedom, and he understood where we were coming from if we were having a difficult time with something. It was awesome.

You, Kat Dennings, Natalie Portman in a battle, who would win?
Well I’m double their size, they’re like armrests to me! In a battle of wits, it’d be Natalie. Kat could probably kill somebody by making them laugh so much while I’d use my brute strength. As a team I think we’re like Charlie’s Angels on steroids.
