Chris Hemsworth covers the October issue of Prestige Hong Kong, which is the “Movers and Shakers” issue, and Chris is definitely shaking it in the photoshoot. Usually, I would so totally hit this, but even I’m a bit skeptical where these pictures are concerned. Most of them aren’t bad, and I do appreciate that this isn’t the standard beefcakey, GQ-type spread. The journalist also makes special note of the fact that the shoot took place in record time, which she states as unequivocal evidence of the “actor’s easygoing nature.” Sure, I’ll buy that Chris is very laid back, but maybe he just wanted to get this crap over with too. Kaiser and I can’t stop giggling over the fact that he looks like a pimp in this jacket on the left. Horrible, right? Here are some interview excerpts:
Working with “Game of Thrones” director Alan Taylor on Thor 2: “I love the way he adds an incredibly organic element to the fantastical world of “Thrones,” and I think that’s what Thor could benefit from. It’s grounded in reality, no matter how mythical or science-fiction-like it becomes. There’s a truth to it all. Certainly, working with him now, you can see he doesn’t want Thor or the Asgardians to seem like some distant race or god-like. He still wants them to be relatable.”
On juggling work & family: “It’s tough, certainly. When you’re all in one place, it’s like a normal job. The hours can be inconsistent, but at least when you come home at night, the family’s there. The toughest thing is the press tours and the travel, which fortunately is only a couple of times a year for a couple of weeks at a time. So the time I’m away from them can be minimal. What will become harder is if my wife and I are both working at the same time in different countries — that’s what we’re going to try not to do. But, sometimes there’s an opportunity that arises for both of you which you can’t say no to. At the moment we’re lucky; it’s early days for us anyway.”
On adjusting to be fame: “The biggest change to be honest — I mean, yeah, people recognise you — but the most rewarding thing is being able to pick and choose who I want to work with. You have the opportunity to try and get in contact with people that you might not have had access to before. That’s what you want; you want freedom and choice, in the industry and anything you do in life.”
On being typecast as a shirtless beefcake: “It’s funny, you have one scene in the movie [Thor] where you have your shirt off, then you do a press tour and it’s like, ‘So you spend the whole time in the film with your shirt off.’ It was all of 10 seconds. So it can overshadow things. It is what it is, and that was what that character called for. But no, there’s no complaint about it. It becomes a challenge because you then have to be smart about what you pick after that; you want to show range. I don’t just want to do action films.”
Why he doesn’t do Twitter: “I think there’s a danger of being overexposed with that stuff. The mystery of who you are is what keeps people interested in wanting to see you on the screen. Also, it’s easier for them to believe you as that character if they don’t know too much about you. It’s hard not to be overexposed these days with the Internet, and especially when you do a tour for something like The Avengers or Snow White, where you’re contracted to do an incredible amount of press. Besides, I’d rather be hanging out with my family than updating to people I don’t know about what I had for lunch. Also, there are so many fake ones out there, which is pretty frustrating.”
What does he do in his spare time? “At the moment, hang out with my little baby. It’s fascinating watching her; every day there’s something different. Now she’s becoming more and more aware of the world and that’s incredible. Also I surf, train and see movies: regular stuff. My wife and I are pretty outdoorsy and adventurous; we like to keep moving.”
[From Prestige Hong Kong]
Chris sounds truly grateful for his success, and he doesn’t complain at all about the trappings of fame, which would have been an easy trap for many actors in response to the same question. However, I am stumbling over Chris’ claim that he and wife Elsa Pataky are “outdoorsy and adventurous,” but he doesn’t seem to realize that her idea of embracing the outdoors involves (allegedly) calling the paps. That’s not a terribly nice thing for me to say about Elsa, and maybe all those photo ops are merely a case of the couple getting stalked by the paps. Clearly, that’s what Chris thinks is going on, so I guess we’ll just go with that. He’s happy, so we should be happy for him, right?
Chris also covers the latest issue of Prestige Indonesia too. No pimp daddy look here, thank goodness.

He doesn’t do anything for me either.
Meanwhile, I had the most graphic dream (ever!) yesterday with another Aussie: Eric Bana. So odd…because I haven’t seen any movies with him lately (although I listen to Hanna’s soundtrack all the time — maybe that was the reason).

I’ve seen Hanna reminded me of Bourne but in the body of a little girl eh.
As for Bana, he got my heart as Hector… Whilst every woman was swooning over Achilles, I was so happy to virtually have Hector for myself… Ohhhh.. Now if you excuse I’ve just developed some graphic images of my own in my mind right now… Thanks m’dear

Eve, that’s *very* freaky. A couple of nights ago I had the BEST dream ever and Bana paid me a visit.
I think there must be something in the water.

@ Amelia:
About Eric Bana too? o_O
Bedhead, we may need a post about Bana, the dream highjacker.
In the first two times I dreamed about him (about three years ago — two nights in a row), his name was “Dario” (don’t ask, I have no idea, have never met a Dario in my life).
Yesterday I came back home (from voting) and, exausted for having walked in the sun for more than an hour, I fell asleep in the afternoon. That’s when I had the dream: very graphic and clear dream (dirty word/requests, specific body parts, everything!).
About Hiddleston’s Twitter — if you don’t want to feel second hand embarrassment…don’t. I tried to avoid it, but his Tumblr fans print-screen every little thing he posts, then reblog it endlessly so I end up seeing it anyway (whenever I click on the “Tom Hiddleston” tag).

Well maybe he should pass that advice on to Captain Sexy as well about Twitter. Then again Evans has a twitter account but he barely uses it and he really don’t say much. I guess that’s a good thing.

I’m a big fan of Chris. I don’t know why, but I don’t care for these pictures of him as they’re sort of sleazy looking and not sexy to me. Perhaps my attraction to him is waning, but still I think he’s hot, and I think he’s a super nice person.
As for the wife, I’m still not sure about her character. That’s why I don’t like them together, he seems too nice for her with her past. I saw some recent pictures of their child. The baby appears to have very, dark brown eyes. At least in these photos. I thought that was interesting. Perhaps it’s only the lighting and they’re dark blue . . . Genetically speaking, not sure if their baby could have dark brown eyes. Anyway, I’m sure it was the picture.

Her eyes looked like a very dark blue to me. She has his face though.
Isn’t it funny how the first clear shots of her were with Elsa while she was in Paris. If that isn’t proof she calls the paps I don’t know what is. I mean why would she get paped there if she was just by herself for a couple of days? Smh…..

He’d have to be not so bright if the baby had dark brown eyes and he didn’t think “What’s up with that?”

@Marty You’re so right. She could walk down any street everyday and I’m willing to bet 98% or more wouldn’t know who she is. She’s definetely riding his coat tail to stardom by alerting the paps as to her whereabouts.
I wouldn’t be surpriesed if she pulled a Ciara and paid the paps to snap pics of her. I know I may be reaching but it wouldn’t come as a shock if she did.

Don’t get his appeal. I know the hair is for Thor, but it’s gross. Can’t handle long blonde haired guys. Maybe it’s also the fact that a lot of the Aussie guys that have made a name for themselves internationally lately, all kind of look the same. And they are just so basic, common and so ‘Home & Away’ (Aussie soap)

I can see his attractiveness but it’s a no from me.
The photo shoot went quickly because he was easygoing? How about just a professional. Maybe they’re so used to divas that it’s a surprise when someone comes in and gets on with it.
Does his wife get work? Obviously not in the US/UK if it’s in a different country from him. I guess she’s _______ in Europe?
I agree with the Twitter comments relating to Hiddleston… not advocating he needs to give it up just use it more judiciously.

I agree with you about Chris Hemsworth, he seems to be a good guy but something is missing and for his wife the last time I saw her in France it was with a french “actor” Michael Youn.

I agree with you both – attractive but not on the Hit List. In that third photo he looks confused, which does nothing to assuage his “beefcake” image. I would certainly hang him on the wall to admire, though.
As for Hiddleston, the poor boy just has so much to say and keeps finding new avenues to say it. If only we could find a way to occupy that pretty, constantly-talking mouth of his and those long, forever-typing fingers…

Do you think perhaps the wife sets up these weird photo shoots? I mean I love seeing him, but don’t these shots sort of have her M.O. written on it? He doesn’t look comfortable in these pictures and it shows. There not quite right for him.
As for overdoing the paps and the photoshoots–she’s the queen of the cheesy photos.
I think she’s bad for his career, and bad for him.
However, I too, as Eve said above, have probably said enough about her and should stop. And I just hope he is happy with her.

The photos don’t fit him. I get the need to do more then actions films. They are money makers but they don’t really lend themselves to “acting”. I think right now I can’t picture him in any other role. So that is what I’m waiting for.
I think he is an attractive man. Reminds me of the men on a Romance novel. So good for the sexy thoughts, but I’m not going mad over him right now.
