Early Life
Chris Hemsworth was born in Melbourne, Australia, on August 11th, 1983. In addition to Chris’s two older brothers, both of whom are actors, he has a younger sibling. Chris Hemsworth grew up in the famous Australian Outback, on cattle stations in the desert, surrounded by buffalo and crocodiles as a child.
In high school, he moved back to Melbourne with his family and attended school there. His family then relocated to the Northern Territory and, finally, to Phillip Island.
Start-up
Actor Chris Hemsworth got his start in the business doing guest spots on Australian television shows. The Saddle Club, “Guinevere Jones,” “Neighbors,” and “Marshall Law” were among the shows in which he appeared.
When he auditioned for a role on “Home and Away,” a popular Australian soap drama, Chris Hemsworth took a huge step forward. Finally, he was cast in 171 episodes of the show as a regular. His departure from the show in 2007 was prompted by his desire for higher challenges.
Breakthrough
Even though “Home and Away” helped Hemsworth gain a reputation and allowed him to hone his acting skills, breaking into Hollywood was a whole new experience. Hemsworth had to learn everything from scratch because the American film industry was unfamiliar with Australian television.
In 2009’s “Star Trek,” he played George Kirk, the father of James Kirk, a part earlier declined by Matt Damon. Hemsworth’s brief appearance in the film was enough to pique the interest of many moviegoers. “A Perfect Getaway” was his follow-up to his early triumph that year. “Ca$h” cast him in a new role in 2010. Hemsworth was already considered a future Hollywood A-lister by many at this point.
They had a point. Hemsworth’s biggest part to date was Thor in 2011 when he made his film debut. Thor: The Dark World, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame are just some of the films in which Chris Hemsworth has reprised his character.
Besides his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hemsworth has had a lot of success outside of it. “The Cabin in the Woods,” “Rush,” and “Vacation” have all received high praise from critics.
Hemsworth has also appeared in films including “Red Dawn,” “Blackhat,” “In the Heart of the Sea,” “Snow White and the Huntsman,” “The Huntsman: Winter War,” “Ghostbusters,” and “Men in Black: International,” despite receiving less critical acclaim and box office success.
Hemsworth will next be seen in the films “Extraction” and “Thor: Love and Thunder,” both of which were confirmed for release in 2018.
