Embracing His Dark Side in Furiosa
Playing a superhero comes with a tight suit and even tighter rules. But what happens when Chris Hemsworth lets loose as a baddie? “Playing the hero is like having a bedtime—there are restrictions and expectations. But being the villain? It’s like spring break! No rules, just pure chaotic fun,” Hemsworth quips. “It’s creatively liberating, like swapping a vegan diet for a buffet of unpredictable deliciousness.”
Stunt Prep: The Ballet of Bruises
Ever wondered how much prep goes into those jaw-dropping fight scenes? According to Hemsworth, it’s a mix of choreography, rehearsal, and a sprinkle of “please-don’t-let-me-die-today” magic. “It’s like a chaotic symphony,” he explains. “We rehearse every beat, like figuring out if a cat can moonwalk. By the time I do my own stunts, it’s narrowed down to the safest version. But trust me, it’s still like jumping into a pool of jellybeans—you never know what you’re going to get!”
Surfing: The Contractual Conundrum
Even gods need a break, and for Hemsworth, that means catching some waves. But it’s not all sunshine and sea breezes. “Picture this: I’m in the south of France, surfing monster waves during Extraction. Mid-wipeout, I’m thinking, ‘This could cost the studio a fortune if I die. Maybe I should stick to smaller waves?’” he laughs. “Nothing like realizing your career is hanging by a surfboard leash!”
Mad Max Fury Road: A Mind-Melting Ride
When Hemsworth saw Mad Max Fury Road, he was utterly mind-blown. “For once, I wasn’t thinking about my grocery list. I was 100% absorbed, like a sponge in a sci-fi desert,” he recalls. “It’s the kind of movie that makes you forget reality—and your popcorn.”
Ultimate Action Movie Shoutout
Chris Hemsworth’s top action flicks? “Kickboxer and Bloodsport,” he says with a nostalgic grin. “They might not have today’s slow-motion finesse, but they’re classics. Watching them now is like finding an old mixtape—pure, unrefined action gold.”
