From over-the-top action flicks to just plain and simple yet funny portrayals and everything in between, there is no place where you can put Chris Hemsworth and regret your decisions. Rightfully hailed as one of the biggest stars in the film industry today, the Australian actor came into the spotlight after playing the Almighty Thor in the MCU and hasn’t looked back ever since.
With such a vast and rich career spanning many years staying on top of the industry, there have been quite a few incidents that many may not be able to even think of that the star has experienced in his life. Out of almost all of them, one was so funny and childish that even he was unable to process it at first.
How Chris Hemsworth Got Belly Rubs And Cuddles From His Co-Stars While Shooting Avengers: Endgame
Apart from being one of the most successful and highest-grossing stars in the film industry today, Chris Hemsworth is also known to be one of the most handsome actors in the world while also being a physical specimen of fitness, something that he’s regularly showcased in his films as well. But when he was in the process of shooting Avengers: Endgame, fans might remember Fat Thor, which also became a popular meme back in the day. And while he enjoyed the experience, his co-stars were the ones who enjoyed themselves the most.
In a past interview on The Graham Norton Show, the Extraction star was shown a picture of him and asked whether he got big by eating his way through it, to which he replied that it was actually a prosthetic flesh suit that was made for him to make Thor look fat in the film. He also recalled the time while shooting when his co-stars like Robert Downey Jr. would come and rub his fake belly gently, while others just wanted to embrace him in a cuddle because he became so squishy after wearing the suit. he said:
“Robert Downey (Jr.) got me a fair share of belly rubs, everyone was starting to cuddle me after. I felt like Santa Claus, you know, got Avengers sitting on my lap from time to time”
If he hadn’t revealed it, then we might never have found such a playful and joyous side of the Avengers and the cast of the MCU.
