You know the rules, if you post something to social media, you may end up explaining a thing or two, which is exactly what happened to Chris Hemsworth. An Aussie talk show dug up a picture on Chris’ big brother Luke’s Instagram page of him with Chris and some friends relaxing in Byron Bay. In the photo, Chris’ right bicep looks noticeably larger than his left one. Smarty pants Luke captioned the picture, “Hey @chrishemsworth do you even lift bro?” (It seems all of the Hemsworth boys like harassing each other via social media.)
When asked about his bulging bicep, Chris jokingly attributed it to “Photoshop, lighting and certain angles.” A female host asked, “Is that a new filter that you can get?” Chris apparently didn’t hear her and continued, “[It’s] skin and bone under this jacket.” When another of the show’s hosts asked if it was his “Thor arm”, Chris replied, “Yes. The other one is like this only half the size. I just favor my right side most of the time.”
Chris, who went on a crazy diet in order to lose 33 pounds for his role in In the Heart of the Sea (and promptly went on a pizza binge when he was free to gain the weight back) was promoting his new role as the face of prestige watch brand TAG Heuer. The Aussie hunk also made headlines this week as the first photos of him on the set of the female-led Ghostbusters reboot surfaced. I will miss Annie Potts, but I can definitely handle this look!

I love that Chris can be self-effacing and joke about his image. I honestly don’t think there was any Photoshop involved, just lighting and angles. The guy is Thor, for Pete’s sake. Besides, anyone who can make such a cute nerd is a-okay in my book.

Shallowness alert, but what an eye candy
He is a beautiful man and seem to be a great guy too.
I love the brothers’ relationship. It seems amazing going by all the teasing on social media.
They are so cute. I bet the brother photoshopped it to harass him. No way he’s bulked back up to Thor level after starving for so long.
His head and neck never seem to match the rest of his body.
Once you see you cannot unsee; this is hilarious (safe for work too):

I know people find him bland, but I like him. He doesn’t take himself too seriously and on Avengers promo stops, he is the ONLY one who acts like a gentleman toward ScarJo (assisting her, letting her go first, etc).
Totally agree.
I like him too. Particularly as Thor, I have to admit, but I do like his sense of humor and, like you said, that he doesn’t take himself too seriously. Kind of refreshing in a celeb!
Photoshop. He fits too well into his suits to have biceps that big. I think he’s capable of pumping up a ton, but that photo looks a little grotesque.
I used to find him and Liam a bit bland, but after seeing how much they make fun of each other (and Luke) on Instagram, they started to grow on me. And I love the picture of Chris as Kevin the recepcionist!!!
