Chris Hemsworth plays with his hammer, promotes ‘Thor’ in Japan: would you hit it?

wenn21024797

The Largely Absent Chris Hemsworth decided to finally promote Thor: The Dark Loki at long last. Chris was largely absent from Thor’s promotional duties in Europe and America, only making a handful of premiere and TV appearances. Part of the reason for his absence was that he was working on Ron Howard’s In the Heart of the Sea during much of The Dark Loki’s promotion. Part of the reason was that Tom Hiddleston is a company man and Tommy seemed fine with being a circus bear all over the world to promote the film, and Chris became sort of unnecessary.

But whatever the reason, Chris decided to show up in Japan to promote Thor: The Dark Loki. I’m including photos of Chris’s arrival at Narita Airport, where so many fans were waiting to greet him and he even posed for photos with the hammer. And I’m also including photos from the Japanese premiere. I don’t care for that suit. I would have preferred to see him in velvet. But if Chris had gone for velvet, Tommy might have cried (for Tommy is the Velvet Dragonfly).

Anyway, there’s not much else to say about Chris. He looks pretty good in these pics, but he’s never been my favorite or anything. Elsa’s probably due in a few months, so we shouldn’t worry that she’s going to go into labor any second now. Still, I bet Chris will rush home once he’s done in Japan.

    wow those ARMS 🙂

    • LadySlippers says:

      I thought the same thing!!!

      *slightly weak at the knees*

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        @LadyS – Where have you been my darling??? You have been missed!

      • LadySlippers says:

        Squirrel,

        I have Chronic Intractable Migraines so some days I’m not doing much of anything.

        🙁

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        *whispering as to not upset your migraine any further*
        So sorry to hear that. I will cross my fingers you are feeling better soon. Hopefully you have some nice Chris/Tom/Ben posts to read through to help you recover.

      • LadySlippers says:

        Squirrel,
        I get them so often it ain’t funny. Today light is bothering me more than noise but any stimulation is yucky. So thanks. And the light…. Mr Sun may have gone to bed on your side io the world but he’s bright-eyed and bushy tailed here. I’d rather you pray someone can find a way to get rid of them entirely….

      • Marty says:

        @LS- I get chronic migraines too. I’m sorry you’re going through that and I hope you feel better! They can be so debilitating.

      • LadySlippers says:

        Thanks Marty. They are *very* debilitating and it’s so frustrating. Even the milder ones still trip you up. And likewise.

      • Kate says:

        LadySlippers and Marty, hope you both feel better soon

        Oh Chris, I’d play with that hammer

    • Dommy Dearest says:

      FINALLY!

      The hot Chris is back!

      Those muscles… I lost my panties.

  2. Sixer says:

    Well, I wouldn’t but doesn’t he have the face of a Very Nice Man? I think that every time I see a photo.

    And blow me down – how dragged out is the Thor promotion? I can’t believe it’s still going on!

    • LadySlippers says:

      Nice men don’t tickle your toes Sixer???

      And I was shocked that Japan’s premiere was this late too. Wow. Poor them.

      • Sixer says:

        Generally, it’s a no to beefcake and a no to nice in my fantasy land. I am mean to them there – it’s their purpose to amuse me and indulge all my vices. It would be like kicking kittens, letting the nice ones in. Besides, I’m afraid of Anna and Miss Jane. They might let loose their wit to rain down upon my head.

      • Anna says:

        Maybe Miss Jane, but I just had my 2nd coffee with strawberry syrup, so feeling pretty sweet and friendly. Chris smile and OMG THOSE ARMS help my disposition too.

      • LadySlippers says:

        Ahhhh… So it Anna and Miss Erye that has you averting your gaze. Makes SO much more sense now.

        I figure they’ll won’t pull out Eve’s shanks since I’m just drooling from a safe distance. 6′ is the appropriate distance to maintain eh?

        As for being mean, I think CHemboy has a bit of freak in him. Don’t you think? Or will you continue to maintain radio silence on this subject???

        😉

      • Sixer says:

        Achilly, I might even give myself a pat on the back for being nice to the nice ones. That really is it, honest. The fanciable but mockable ones go on my fantasy list. The nice ones get left alone (a relief to them, I am sure). The true artists go on a pedestal and I get itchy at the thought of being smutty about them.

      • Anna says:

        @LS re: freak –
        only between the sheets, baby!

      • LadySlippers says:

        Gurrrlll, Dats da only freak that matters!!!

    • Anna says:

      YES! on the face. Just so kind and smiley – all the way through to his eyes. They just radiate warmth and affection (shut up, I know I am projecting).

      I think a whole lot of movies open much later in Japan. I know RUSH opened in late December there, despite playing everywhere else in September already.

      • LadySlippers says:

        Anna, Do you have to wait that long for premiere’s?

      • 'p'enny says:

        @anna in total agreement

      • Sixer says:

        I don’t even think you’re projecting, Anna. I am utterly immune to his charms but my first reaction to any photo is always “Aww, he looks like a nice guy.” I bet he actually is, poor taste in women nothwithstanding.

      • Anna says:

        LS –
        It really depends. Avengers and Huntsman opened a day early here (we get our debuts on Thursdays), Thor and Rush – a week later. Some Europe-targeting limited releases we get before the States do, but I have to wait till mid-Feb to see American Hustle, for example. So I think the scheduling here is set more by marketing considerations than specific country-wide policy (as is the case with some places).

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        Wow, I had no idea Thor 2 was still being promoted. Its about time Chris got out there and did some of the work! He doesn’t seem to have put as much effort in as our beloved circus bear, but I am basing that solely on the pics. At least he is doing his bit now (possibly because TH was unavailable?).

        Why can’t cinemas around the world be coordinated with movie releases?? I don’t understand…

      • Anna says:

        SS – sometimes it’s market protectionism. For example in China, only a certain percentage of movies released each year can be imported (vs domestic), so scheduling has to play well with local releases. Sometimes it’s the studios that delay it to account for additional time required to dub the voices and prep the merchandise. A couple of year ago a bunch of summer tent-pole action flicks got released a few weeks early in Europe bc the Euro Cup (soccer) was about to start, so nobody would care about movies for 3 weeks.

    • CaribbeanLaura says:

      I totally get what you’re saying about his face. He seems like a ‘nice dude’. I wouldn’t either but I would have a beer with him.

    • lunchcoma says:

      He always seems like he’d be a complete sweetheart. I DO like nice men, but I’m not so much on the beefcake. My Hemsworth fantasies tend to lean more toward us being drinking buddies with a brother-sister vibe.

  3. ToodySezHey says:

    Yes. Yes I believe I would.

    With regularity.

  4. Lolo-ology says:

    That suit. Is just…..umph. There are pix all over tumblr of him and this ridiculously kawaii rainbow cloud hammer, which he seems to be cuddling at one point. There is a mic to the right of him also, but I like to imagine he just stopped mid-interview to snuggle this adorable cloud hammer with his eyes closed while whispering, “I love you, cloud hammer. You are so soft and your colors are magical.”

  5. blue marie says:

    No.. No, damnit Thor why can’t I quit you?
    (I’d hit it as Thor but not everyday Hemsworth)

  6. lady mary. says:

    these pics reminded me of a quote”I do think a carpenter needs a good hammer to bang in the nail” .

  7. embertine says:

    I would hit it like the fist of an angry…… oh wait….

  8. Talie says:

    I always thought he would grow into someone with more personality, but he is rather vanilla. He used to be funny in interviews.

    • Vee says:

      Yes, he was funny in his first interviews. I wonder what happened to him as of late? Perhaps, he’s overworked and tired with all those diets.

  9. aquarius64 says:

    Hello Blue Eyes. He looks good here.

    Thanks for the pics. Kaiser, I know you’re not into Hemsworth because you heavily ship Hiddleston. I still can’t get the fascination for Loki. Take away the British accent and the one-liners and he’s still an emergency protection order waiting to happen. The guy is a psychotic murderer with daddy issues, and you can’t fix him. His belief of an unhappy childhood is no excuse.

    I’m not sure if the marriage is on the ropes, but some of the pictures that have been out suggest it. The distance, it’s just there. Hemsworth can’t get out because of the kids; but if that story about his hooking up with Miley Cyrus on brother Liam’s watch is true, Elsa has the ammunition to ruin Chris.

    • Hiddles forever says:

      I don’t think Hiddleston killed anyone yet lol

      Concerning daddy issues, I had them too. First I’m quite fine (although I’m older than Tom!), second I never killed anyone, nor I never thought to!

      Concerning Elsa and Chris, he seems happier when she’s not around so it speaks volume IMHO. And about the ammunition, what about her? I don’t think Chris could buy all her porn movies….. just my two cents.

      • Vee says:

        What pr0n movies did she do? Was it just artsy, sexy films or are we really talking about full blown pr0n and showing the body parts? I think that would be upsetting to a guy to find that out after such a rush, rush to get married and not knowing before hand.

      • Secret Squirrel says:

        @Hiddles Forever – Well, there could be some Hiddlestoners who have literally died of happiness after seeing him… Could it be classed as murder if he hit them with that smile then whispered “so do you want to dance nice and slow with me?” just before the fatal moment??…

        I’m going to stick my neck out here and say Chris and Miley NEVER happened. EVER. No way. He loves his brothers and would not do that to either of them. He didn’t even like Miley much (from magazine reports of him taking Liam on holiday to Mexico to get away from her for a bit and let his head clear).

  10. Shijel says:

    Does not make me think dirty thoughts, but I would have a hundred beers with him. He’s got the face and aura of the nicest man ever (even if it’s not true in real life). I mean this guy will hold your hair while you puke. This guy will flip you over his shoulder and carry your drunk, limp ass home. This guy breaks up fights.

    He keeps appearing quite aloof though, ’tis something I’ve noticed only recently. Dude seems… unhappy.

    • LadySlippers says:

      Okay ladies. Perhaps having an abusive husband (thankfully now an ex husband) has changed my opinion but I’ll take a nice guy any ole day over an arsehole!

      And I’m not into beefcakes either but I’d hit him in a heartbeat. Plus, nice guys LUV to please. What’s wrong with that?!? So hell yes I’d hit that… Assuming Miss Erye and Anna gave me permission first.

    • Marty says:

      @Shijel- I’m sorry, all I heard was flip me over his shoulder and carry me home. Now my body is all warm and tingley.

      • LadySlippers says:

        I know! And he’ll wait to ravish you when you’re sober. What’s so wrong with that????

        *fans face*

        (Of course we could be wrong here ladies)

      • Marty says:

        If that’s wrong, I don’t want to be right!

  11. hot4thor says:

    I am gay, super lezzie, and i would still run my tongue all over his gorgeous viking (thor)/Australian body, eeee!!!!

    • Secret Squirrel says:

      I actually think that would make Chris a bit proud to know he has that much pulling power!!

  12. Abigail says:

    Didn’t the US/European Thor promotional push happen right around the start of Elsa’s pregnancy? Perhaps that may have been the reason behind his absence — she is carrying twins, and may have initially had a high risk pregnancy. I don’t think it’s quite fair to suggest he just wasn’t into it. We don’t know that much about what might have been going on in his personal life, and, unlike some actors, he doesn’t seem to be generally unprofessional.

    • LadySlippers says:

      Twins are high risk throughout the entire pregnancy but it could have been very tough morning sickness-wise in the beginning (which is what I think you meant! Lol).

      It’s probably a combination of work & personal schedules that prevented him from going all circus bear when Thor2 first premiered.
