Strong female leads are important.

Every film has challenges and all of us are doing it together, all the cast is doing it together so you keep each other motivated I guess and keep each other in check.

For three years, I had embarrassing haircuts.

You get the part, sign the contract and start to realize millions of people follow this guy and know more about your character than you do

You can imagine how the kids teased me, with a name like Chris Hemsworth. 'Kiss Ham'sWart'-that's what they called me. Meaning if there was a piece of ham with an ugly wart on it, I was such a loser I'd probably kiss it. It was endless.

I have seen 'Thor', yeah. It's fantastic. Being that close to something, it's often pretty hard to watch yourself, but the film in so many ways is so impressive that I was swept along with it like an audience member, and that's a pretty good sign.

Any time you have someone come up and say they love what you do and they get great joy from it is a very humbling experience.
