Liam Hemsworth‘s older brother is looking good in his Empire magazine photos. The Hemsworth brothers have some good genes (and values). Chris always sounds so appreciative for his success. He’s grounded. He gets it.
I think if Chris’ fame and fortune faded away tomorrow, he would be just fine. He’d be happy for his wife Elsa Pataky and his baby daughter. Although Chris’ movies are box office gold, he remains down to earth. He’s likable. If he keeps kissing a*s and remains buff, he’ll have a very lengthy career in Hollywood. Lindsay Lohan should take notes from her responsible, respectful peers.
On his box office numbers: “It is strange because you almost forget that this just doesn’t happen that often. I was talking to Matt Damon and he goes to me, ‘So Snow White did pretty good?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, I think it’ll probably hit $400 [million], but it’s not Avengers numbers.’ And he goes ‘Man!’ and he shook his head. ‘You’re f***ing ruined — 400′s huge!’ It’s like my brain thinks, ‘That’s the norm now, that’s the benchmark.’ Which, Jesus, I don’t think anything will ever come close. It’s almost as if I’ve been ruined for the rest of my career regarding box-office expectations.”
On being ‘Man of the Year’: “It’s pretty funny. It’s very nice and thank you very much, firstly. I was just discussing this — like, what does that mean? Man of the Year? I’d love to be man of the house but with my wife and now my daughter I don’t think I’ll ever hold that title! They certainly run the show. But any sort of indication that people like what you’re doing, and which in turn allows me to keep doing it, is a huge plus.”
On why Australian actors are successful in Hollywood: “I could throw out a bunch of maybes. A producer once said to me once, “America really relates to that Western, cowboy culture because it was their history and Australians still have some of that.’ I don’t want to say something that would be offensive to other bountries like, ‘Ah, it’s because we’re more manly…’ But I’m sure there is some cultural… swagger.”
