In conversation with Chris Hemsworth

It looks like there are not limits to what Aussie hunk and sometime superhero Chris Hemsworth will do for a role.

While promoting his latest film, In the Heart of the Sea, Chris Hemsworth shared his thoughts on what the third installment of Marvel’s Thor franchise needs to include that may have been lacking in its previous outing.

The 32-year-old actor admitted he has lost track of the number of scripts he is sent, but said he probably reads five or six a week. We’ve done regal. We’ve done Shakespeare, and we’ve shown that.

The incredible looking Thor that transformed into a starving sailor for the movie revealed during his conversation with KIIS FM’s Kyle & Jackie O that during filming they felt like they would pass out any second. He added that “Don’t eat”, was the advice that Hanks gave them which he funnily added a “Pretty straight-forward” one.

The true story, which took place in 1820, actually served as the inspiration for Herman Melville’s classic novel Moby Dick.

“Throughout the shoot, each week or two we’d reduce the calories, down, down until, we were at about 500 or 600 calories a day for the last couple weeks”, he told Nightline recently during a sit-down with the actor and the film’s director, Ron Howard.

Also starring Cillian Murphy, In the Heart of the Sea opens in New Zealand cinemas on December 3.
