Here are some photos of the Hemsworth boys at last night’s LA premiere of Thor 2: The Dark Whatever. The premiere featured NO Natalie Portman and NO Elsa Pataky. What the what? What is going on? How is it that both Natalie and Elsa had better things to do last night? I mean, I guess Natalie was probably working or finalizing her move to Paris or something like that. Which is fine, she’s done her part to promote Thor 2 – she’s been to at least three major premieres (London, Berlin, Paris), she’s done interviews and appeared on magazines. She’s done more to promote Thor than Chris Hemsworth, frankly.

Which brings me to Chris’s lack of interest in promoting Thor 2. Some have theorized that it’s about money, some have theorized that he’s just “over” playing a superhero with a hammer and that he wants to focus on other roles now. But what if there’s something else going on? What if his reticence is personal? What if there’s something going on with Elsa and his marriage? I thought for a time (and I still think it’s possible) that Elsa could be pregnant again and that’s why she’s been “in hiding” during all of these delicious red carpets. But Bedhead and I have also been theorizing for a few months that Chris and Elsa’s marriage might be somewhat rocky as of late. And the fact that he did the LA premiere without her? Very, very interesting.

Also – Liam Hemsworth is basically Lurch at this point. I used to think he was hot, but compared to Chris, Liam definitely is… the Lesser Hemsworth. Last thing: I really like Chris’s suit. That’s a fantastic suit.
