Chris Hemsworth: 'Flaunt' Feature!

Chris Hemsworth wears a wet white shirt in this spread for Flaunt magazine’s latest issue.

Here’s what the 27-year-old Aussie actor had to share:

On his upcoming action flick Thor: “My hope is that [the movie] is an intelligent blockbuster. The ones that work are … One thing I took from it is how much life was influenced by fate and how that motivated Thor’s fearlessness as a warrior.”

Co-star Natalie Portman on Chris: “I think the craziest day was when we flew together and they harnessed us attached to each other and we were up a 100 feet in the air with no safety mat. It was nice to have someone up there with me who was so lovely and calming.”

On moving to California from Australia: “I live in Santa Monica where there’s more space, and I surf a lot, train a lot, read books, and try to have a life outside the business. From time to time I miss being [in Australia].”

Some quotes:

Southern California suits Hemsworth, but it’s clear his native Australia is never far from his mind. After high school, Hemsworth starred in the Aussie soap opera Home and Away (which, he is quick to point out, is where Heath Ledger and Naomi Watts also got their start) and, since moving to Los Angeles in 2007, has appeared in Star Trek and the Joss Whedon-produced as-yet-unreleased horror/thriller Cabin in the Woods, but Thor will be Hemsworth’s first major foray as a leading man (later this year he stars in Red Dawn, reprising the role originally played by the god of Swayze). At approximately 6’4/220 lbs. everything about Hemsworth is outsized—even his expectations: “My hope is that Thor is an intelligent blockbuster. The ones that work are.”

Hemsworth didn’t grow up reading comics. “As a kid,” he tells me, “I was more into surfing magazines.” He remembers tearing pages out of his beloved surfing glossies and sticking them on the wall of his room. His idea of “geeking out” is an impassioned homily on why the Aussie glossy Tracks is superior to the American counterpart, Surfer—whereas most fanboys are still debating whether Supergirl would be sluttier in bed than Wonder Woman.

“After all, most of the people there know your character more than you do,”

Before our meeting, I had the idea of taking Hemsworth to one of L.A.’s famous 24-hour strip clubs—after all, how many people can say that they’ve had the chance to “make it rain” with the god of thunder. But it was around when Hemsworth listed The Neverending Story, The Princess Bride, and Labyrinth as his favorite flicks that I realized it wasn’t going to happen. Hemsworth doesn’t have a Hollywood bad-boy bone in his body. He is humble, genuine, and wholesome. The first two words that come out of virtually every person I speak with who knows Chris Hemsworth are: “Good guy.”
