Here are some new photos of Chris Hemsworth over the weekend. I know many of you enjoy the Hemsworth boys, Chris in particular. I’m at a loss for the most part though, which is why my coverage of him is hit-or-miss. I don’t think he looks particularly good or swoon-worthy in these pics, although I wish I had some better angles on his hair. Did he chop off his long Thor-locks? That looks like a haircut to me, and if it is… good for him. I was tired of his ponytail.
Obviously, Chris has a great body. His muscular, well-developed legs deserve special attention, mostly because when dudes actually go out and try to bulk up and get all muscular and bulgy, many of them don’t work on their legs. Chris does. But other than that, he looks less bulky than usual in these pics. Maybe it’s just the t-shirt. Or maybe he’s not training as hard these days and he’s lost some muscle weight. He’s currently working on Cyber, directed by Michael Mann, which is all about the Chinese and Americans working together to defeat a major hacker. So… maybe Chris doesn’t have to walk around shirtless the whole time, thus he isn’t training as much.
As I mentioned on Friday in that Elsa Pataky post, Chris is filming projects back-to-back at this point. At some point over the past two years, Chris became one of the most in-demand actors in the world, much to my surprise. After he completes Cyber, he’s got The Avengers 2, the sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman and a Ron Howard period film called In the Heart of the Sea. Chris is so in-demand that he’s turning down major films because his schedule is so jam-packed. How did this happen?!
Thor: The Dark World comes out in November, just FYI. Do you want the trailer again? You are welcome.

I am not usually into muscular guys…but he REALLY does it for me. Yummy.
Ditto. He is yummy
He’s a really sexy guy and I’m not usually into blondes.
He’s muscular but not OVERLY so (at least I don’t think so).
I like the short hair but I wouldn’t mind seeing it styled differently…maybe less product in there.
ditto to TOK
oh, except I like blondes
I’m the same when it comes to Chris. I ‘should’ like him, i can see why others swoon over him, but he just doesn’t do much for me. I think he looks older than his age too.
I like his young bro
Is this rhetorical? Because A MILLION TIMES YES. Shorter hair makes it even better. Bonus points will be awarded for future scruff. I like him as a real-life huntsman.
ha, exactly. would hit it without question.
To hair or not to hair; he can get it either way.
To add: I think Chris/his team have done a good job managing his career so far, plus I think he has an innate charisma that makes him watchable and cast-able. That’s what separates his current industry standing from, lets say, Chris Evans, who had a similar pre-stardom trajectory but hasnt been able to really break out. I do think Chris needs to diversify his roles a bit, and the way to go is comedy (I think he had great timing in Thor & Avengers), not drama (sadly, I think he lacks the range). Maybe do something self-deprecating, a la ChanningT. Whatever keeps him around for as long as possible 🙂
I agree with all this. And I think comedy would be great for him. He’s a good, not great actor, but he’s really likable (and the hotness helps). He reminds me of pre-crazy Mel Gibson, or young Tom Cruise – those kind of 80s/90s movie stars who got by on the plain fact that people enjoyed seeing them do their thing.
I def get the young Tom Cruise vibe – charming, physical, rakish. Yummmmm… (TC was my first-ever Hollywood crush and the embers of it are still burning – so I’m in it for the long run with Hems)
I wish you hadn’t said a young TC because I totally see it. Aside from the fact that I want to bone him into next week, I’ve always found him really likable.
Am I the only one that ever occasionally mourns Mel Gibson’s descent into madness? I was watching Forever Young the other day and I got kind of sad.
I feel that way about Tom Cruise whenever I watch Cocktail.
I wonder how Chris would do in a role like that. I am kind of anxious about RUSH – I really want him to be good, but….
I think the TC analogy is spot on.
Which, of course, means somebody needs to put CHemboy in some dress whites ASAP.
Miss Jane, you just gave me epic chills, butterflies, what have you. Also, that is my all-time favorite American movie…
I actually kind of did a number on myself for on that one. BTW, TC is a big crush of mine too – we can share so many men!
For you, and all the CHemboy/India fans

That’s it. I have officially melted into a puddle. CHarms cuteness overload for the day.
Where were you Kaiser? ‘Cause us ladies have already been riding this improved Hemsworth train.
EVERYTHING is working for me in these pics. God, could you imagine seeing this walking down the street?
Interesting views on his career. I think he has it in him to be a great actor, but he needs the right material. I just re-watched the first Star Trek and his scene kills me every time. The potential is there.
I watched it once and that was before I have been #CHarmed by the Hemsworth magic, and thus didnt pay him much mind. So that movie opening has been on my ‘to watch’ list forever.
I think he’d be good in a drama. I still remember in Home and Away when he found out his son wasn’t his son, it made me cry and that was years ago now! Ahhh the H&A memories… his name in it was Kim Hyde if anyone wants to youtube him.
i thought that was Pitt for a second
I’ve always seen the resemblance and think they’re both hot. Now seeing the two thumbnail photos next to each other right now I feel more strongly than ever that Brad should cut his hair, too. Looks good.
I think he kind of looks like Eric Dane – not necessarily a compliment.
Thank God for the short hair. Now if he become much much less bulky, maybe I would find him attractive.
He doesn’t do it for me but I have just realized that both him and Liam seem ageless to me, like Charlize Theron. The re-runs of Home and Away with Chris in it are currently running on one of my local cable channels and yesterday I caught a part of an episode where he had the same haircut and he was probably in his early 20’s but he looked exactly the same as he looks now, maybe a little bit less muscular. I don’t have a problem believing Chris is still in his 20’s but I also wouldn’t blink if someone told me he was pushing 40’s. And Liam seems age-appropriate for Miley when they are pictured together, but I didn’t cringe when he was seen with January Jones, because he looked age-appropriate for her as well. They are both looking young and mature at the same time if that makes any sense.
Too late to edit – he and Liam*.
He looks *so* good in these pics, however, I would have to say no out of respect and/or fear of Miss Jane. One disappointed sigh from Miss Jane can wound more than a hundred of Eve’s shanks.
You know my motto, never deny yourself anything. You have three hours on me, I hope you used them wisely. Or did the Xanax you out in Cumby’s coffee wear off before you had CHemboy properly secured to the settee?
I have been ruminating on this particular question this morning; I wanted to give it the respect it was due. After much thought, and I mean much thought, I have decided that yes, yes I would hit it…
… like Moby Dick going after the Pequod
You only use that analogy because you’re thinking about Hiddles’ bocci ball.
Yep I’d hit it for sure. Those arms – yum!
Oh, Thor, why you do this to me?
He still fine. Whatever.
If i would hit him? Every single day…
He doesn’t really do it for me but I do think he’s a charming, enjoyable actor. I enjoy him as Thor.
Hemsworth fans? What is the deal about him apparently not wearing his wedding ring at times? I’ve seen comments and I am curious. Did he used to wear it 24/7 or something?
Long hair-short hair—no problem, the man is still a God.
He is a good looking man, blond or dark haired, with short or long hair, scruffy or well shaven . he also has a cool demeanour…not stiff… which i like a lot.
I also like that his features are great without being too effeminate. He has a manly beauty as opposed to a ken doll type like Cavill.
He is just my style : tall, manly, cool, sporty and well proportionate.
I think he would look better with shorter hair like in The cabin in the woods.
That hair is still too long~
That is a lovely blend of Heath Ledger and Timothy Olyphant.
I honestly don’t understand his appeal. I think he is too bland and boring. I don’t see him winning any oscars. When I think of him as an actor, I see him playing only superheroes.
i remember watching him ten years ago on home and away, a terrible soapie but it’s nice to see him going on to such success!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo – I love me some men with long hair.
But sure – I’d still hit it!
I like that short hair on him, he looks like a yonger blonder version of Timothy Olyphant to me. Nothing bad so say about him that’s for sure.
I actually think I like him better this way… 0_o
*raises eyebrow*
No worries Miss Eyre! I can still appreciate the Asgardian form (seriously I have a pic of him shirtless right here in my cubbie at work) and not want to ride that. I’m still heavily sexualized by my Urban. Just last night I was fondly looking at him thinking how I’d ride that prized stallion that he is. *le swoon*
To me, this is his best look. My all time favorite!

Not even the foul stench of Remora could pry me off of Chris if he went back to this look! How can someone be adorable and hot at the same time?
OH GOD YES. I absolutely love this. Equal parts scruffy and preppy, boyish and manly. I just cant, with this man. He is my kryptonite.
Yup, yup, yup! That is *the* look for me.
I will leave the buzz cut to you ladies, he looks too young for a lecherous old lady like me with his short hair.
This is my preferred CHemboy:

I love his look now – esp because he is clean shaven. I am okay with his “mun” look because it plays into his whole surfer vibe.
And shirtless… anything shirtless.
@Miss Jane –
See, I love that look too, but mentally I file it away with the .gif look – he looks a bit more boyish in the gifs but the scruff (look closer! so NOT clean-shaven!) and the overall shorter hair keeps it in the same look category for me. But between these two options I would go for the first one. Something about the perfectly done blonde pompadour takes a couple of points off (but I love what he’s wearing). OMG you are forcing me to think about this too much! I cannot concentrate on the actual work, at all! >.<
In that he looks fantastic. Normally no, but those gifs are beautiful.
I like him better with long hair.
He looks great! I love Michael Mann and I am pleased that he managed to get Chris, as he is in demand. The only negative in this story is his famewhorey wife. But, as law of averages go in Hollywood, it is only a matter of time before they break up!
🙂 Double tapped! 😉
YUM
The haircut looks bad on him IMHO. Chris needs all those flowing gold locks to soften up the hard, lizard-eyed, Aussie roughness that is so characteristic to the genetics of the inhabitants of that former penal colony.
So as a roll in the hay (once or 5 times…) I would indeed ride that “prize stallion” but for the long haul, not so much. I LOVE his acting though and the eye candy is lovely with short or long hair.
Personally I really still wish to be in the center of a Hiddlesworth sandwich myself…
That is one delicious sandwich!
…he looks a bit like the young Val Kilmer. Hope he has better luck. And I can’t wait to see M. Mann do a cyber warfare movie: hopefully it will be clichè free and logical.
You Cumberbitches and Fassdong ladies can keep yours. I’m sticking with this delicious beefcake. I want to feast on those gams like a turkey leg.
I would totally hit it, he is sooo hot
Would I hit it? Is the Pope Catholic?
I finally saw The Avengers this weekend and thought he stole it. RDJ may have had the best lines, but Thor was pure sex.
He looks great, love the hair cut- it brings back my fond memories of him from his Home and Away days :).
I’d much rather have Chris become a big movie star and be in everything than Channing ‘Derp-de-derp’ Tatum or Fuglydict Cumberfug, who are both massively over rated.
This is how he used to look before Thor. I used to see him around Sydney a bit and this is his “natural” state. I think the super beef and the long hair is purely for roles.
He’s giving me some serious Skarsgard vibes in these pictures…not a bad thing at all.
Christo – been to Australia lately? Where men look like men. Proud Aussie gal – love Chris! Also we love the penal colony reference, it’s hilarious. Do you realise that almost 50% of Australians are only second generation – i.e. huge multiculturalism here, there is not a “look” of men per se, we are a melting pot 🙂
