The Chris Hemsworth Story You Didn’t Know
Have you ever thought that a boy from a middle-class family, whose childhood was spent on the surfing beaches of Australia, would one day become the world's most popular superhero? We are talking about Chris Hemsworth. There was a time when this boy was working as a construction worker and salesman, and today he is shaking the world in the role of Thor. What exactly is Chris Hemsworth's story? How did this lean, thin boy from Australia become Thor? Today, we will learn about Chris Hemsworth's story. So, ladies and gentlemen, let's begin. Christopher Hemsworth was born on the 11th of August, 1983, in Melbourne, Australia. His father, Craig Hemsworth, was a social services counselor, and his mother, Leonie, was an English teacher. So, Chris's childhood was not like that of a celebrity but was spent in a middle-class family where financial struggles were also a part of life. Chris is the second among three brothers. His elder brother's name is Luke, and his younger brother's name is Liam, and both of them are also actors. Chris's childhood was completely different from other kids. Due to his parents' profession, they had to relocate frequently, and Chris spent a significant part of his childhood on Phillip Island in Southern Australia. On the beautiful beaches of Phillip Island, Chris met his first love, and that was surfing. Chris once said in an interview that surfing is like meditation for him. After riding the ocean waves, he finds himself in a different world—a world that asks no questions of him. Chris was very passionate about acting since his school days, and after finishing school, instead of joining a college, he decided to build a career in acting. The most beautiful part was that his parents appreciated this decision of his. When Chris started building his career in acting, it wasn’t easy. After multiple rejections, in 2002, Chris got the role of King Arthur for just two episodes in the fantasy television series Guinevere Jones. And the same year, Chris did small roles in TV series like Neighbours, Marshall Law, and The Saddle Club. Despite being in his struggling days, Chris tried to support his family financially as much as he could. He was waiting for a role that could give him stability. And in 2004, Chris appeared in a TV show called Home and Away in the role of Kim Hyde. Chris worked in a total of 171 episodes of this TV show, and finally, the TV audience started noticing him. Along with the shooting of Home and Away, in 2006, Chris appeared as a contestant in the fifth season of the reality show Dancing with the Stars Australia. But Chris was eliminated from the show in the sixth week. After three years of experience with Home and Away, Chris felt that he was ready for Australian movies. But in Australian movies, Chris only got disappointment. Chris says that his experience in the TV industry was never considered. Now, Chris had only one option: to return to the Australian TV industry. There comes a moment in everyone's life where 95% of people give up and turn back. But it is in this very moment that a champion never gives up, and Chris decided to try his luck in Hollywood. Now, if he couldn’t make it big in the mediocre, what would he do in Hollywood? But guys, this is what is called a leap of faith. After shifting to Los Angeles in 2009, Chris got the role of Kirk in the super-hit franchise Star Trek. Interestingly, this role was only 5 minutes long. But for a capable person, even 5 minutes are enough to showcase their talent. Star Trek was a hit. The same year, Chris played the role of a criminal backpacker, Kale Garrity, in the thriller movie A Perfect Getaway. The movie received mixed reviews from critics, but Chris shone in his role. But in 2011, something happened after which Chris never looked back. Actually, in 2009, Chris auditioned for the role of Thor. Maybe you don’t know, but our Loki brother, Tom Hiddleston, also auditioned for the role of Thor. Marvel Studios' president, Kevin Feige, and the movie's director, Kenneth Branagh, liked Chris's performance the most. But Marvel executives had a problem with Chris, and that problem was the 2006 show Dancing with the Stars Australia. This show showcased Chris's fun-loving and light-hearted side, which was completely different from Thor's powerful and serious character. Some Marvel executives began to doubt whether the audience would take Chris seriously in the role of a god after seeing him dance. Chris Hemsworth had almost lost his iconic role as Thor. But director Kenneth Branagh and casting director Sarah Finn insisted that he be reconsidered. When Chris gave his final audition, he cleared all doubts with his performance. And finally, he was signed for the movie Thor. For Thor, Chris received $200,000.
