Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Early Life & Australian Roots

• Chris’s Outback Childhood
  • Grew up in remote Australia, “4 hours from the nearest town” with vivid memories of living in Aboriginal communities and no TV, later watching VHS tapes brought by a supply truck.

    “First time we lived there… we were in kind of shanty-looking shacks and then a tent at one point... no TV during that time.” — Chris (24:49)

• Family Background
  • Artistic inclinations came from his mother; acting was a distant dream for her after starting a family young.
  • Close-knit Hemsworth brothers: Chris (middle), Luke (older), and Liam (younger).

2. First Steps Into Acting

• Acting Bug and Early Work
  • Started taking acting classes in Melbourne; “trial by fire” watching self-performances on VHS.
  • First job was on "The Saddle Club" and Australian soaps ("Neighbors", but mostly "Home and Away").

    “We’d shoot 20 scenes a day... the momentum you get from that and the knowledge you gain is fantastic.” — Chris (12:15)

• ‘Australian Mafia’ in Hollywood?
  • Felt an outsider at first compared to the NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art) crowd; only later befriended other notable Aussies in LA.

3. Turning Point: Persistence & the ‘F--- it’ Audition

• Close to Quitting
  • Moved to LA, almost gave up acting before last-minute audition for “Cabin in the Woods” changed everything.

    “Is it the universe, or is it that you just surrender to the process and remove some of the desperation…” — Chris (32:58)

• Acting ‘Sexy Indifference’
  • Reflects on how sometimes being exhausted or letting go brings authenticity; over-preparation, then release.

4. Hollywood, Set Work, and Press Tours

• Film Workstyle
  • Loves the “fast-paced” nature of smaller productions compared to big-budget inefficiency.
• Press & Publicity
  • Describes physically demanding and sometimes embarrassing experiences (Hot Ones wings; 16:18).
• Accent Switching
  • Chris shares the difficulty and learning curve of doing American accents, reveals feedback on a Scottish accent gone wrong.

    “Someone said, ‘It’s the worst Glaswegian accent we’ve heard since Fat Bastard in Austin Powers.’” — Chris (47:00)

5. Family Life & Kids

• Raising Kids in Australia
  • Now lives in Byron Bay, using his home as a retreat from Hollywood pressures; describes joyful, unsupervised, outdoor childhood for his children.
  • Kids’ relationship to his fame:
    • Daughter played in “Love and Thunder” (but is already ‘jaded’ about the biz).
    • Sons more eager to perform; all are sarcastic, honest film critics.

    “They’ll just blatantly tell me… Visual effects weren’t as good in that one, Dad.” — Chris (50:44)

6. Tattoos & Personal Keepsakes

• Tattoo Stories
  • Tattoos inspired by his daughter’s drawings and Dr. Seuss' “Oh, the Places You’ll Go.”
  • Half-removed tattoo after his daughter said she missed it (38:01).

7. The Reality of Australian Wildlife

• Snakes, Sharks & Surviving the Outback
  • Candid about the dangers: bull sharks, great whites, king brown snakes, redback spiders.

    “My kids will go and grab [pythons] by the tail sometimes...” — Chris (61:14)

  • Matt Damon story: stepped on a snake immediately upon visiting Chris.

8. Thor & The Avengers Legacy

• 15 Years Strong as Thor
  • Grateful for evolving the character across various directors (Kenneth Branagh, Taika Waititi, the Russo brothers).
  • Discusses balancing fan expectations with creative risks:

    “There was a huge kind of… appreciation for the shift. And then Love and Thunder was kind of like a Monty Python sketch... some of that backlash.” — Chris (55:22)

  • Hints at future plans for the character with Marvel.

9. Recent & Upcoming Projects

• "Crime 101" Film
  • Character-driven tense thriller, directed by Bart Layton (“American Animals”), with a “killer cast” (Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Nick Nolte).
  • Chris describes it as “a throwback to the heist films, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, but has a contemporary feel.” (64:22)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Naming His Son

  “We liked the name... that film came on, and the scene where [Brad Pitt’s character] is on the horse… and his name was Tristan. And I was like, what about Tristan?” — Chris (09:17)

• On Letting Go in Auditions

  “You hit ‘fuck it’. People can tell, and it’s that sexy indifference.” — Will (33:09), Chris (33:10)

• On Australian wildlife

  “You’ve got 15 minutes if you get the anti venom in you before…” — Chris on brown snakes (60:18)

• On Parenting & Fame

  “In the end [my son] was having so much fun. Left halfway through [Thor]… He’s turbulence pig.” — Chris (51:31)

Well, let's do a quick, quick cold, right?

[Sean Hayes]

Let's do a quick cold. Let's do it in five. When I get down. We're gonna go cold. This is the. This is how we count down to the cold open, right?

[Will Arnett]

Are you going to say one or are you just going to stop at two?

[Sean Hayes]

I'm not going to say one, and I'm also not going to say two. Old broadcast house. I'm going to go five, four, three.

[Will Arnett]

By the way, you're wrong about that. You know, I've heard you say that before. Everyone always says the two. It's just the one. That's not. That's not.

[Sean Hayes]

Five, four, three. Welcome to the cold open. Welcome to Smartless. Smart, Smart, Smart.

[Jason Bateman]

Ah,

[Sean Hayes]

Jay. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Now we start. Hi.

[Will Arnett]

Hi.

[Jason Bateman]

Hey, thanks for coming today. Hey, you want to know? Oh, go ahead.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, no, sorry. Do you have a story all queued up?

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah, I just. No, I just actually thought of this. The. Our show opened last Saturday.

[Will Arnett]

You know, I saw you on my Instagram ish thing and a photo. You were saying hi to the audience and I, I immediately got a little nervous. I was like, oh, my God, there he is. He's on stage. He's in front. He did it. So you did it. You did an initial. Are we in previews right now?

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah. First preview went great. Second one went terrible.

[Sean Hayes]

I love all the photos. You look like. You look like you're standing on the. On the, like the Bow of a boat. Because you're always, like, standing there, like, looking off into the distance.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah. Simon, the king of the world.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah. He's proud. And he's. He's.

[Jason Bateman]

He's.

[Will Arnett]

He's here. Hey. Okay, tell us. Okay, so tell us what was good about the first and bad about the second.

[Jason Bateman]

Well, you'll relate. You like this kind of talk. It's talking shop. You know, when you kind of connect to what you're saying, it's very real and it's authentic.

[Will Arnett]

Right, Right.

[Jason Bateman]

And then sometimes when you do a show after a million times, you. Sometimes there's a little tiny veil between you and the word associate. Yeah. And so. But you're doing the actions and you're emoting, but it's a little manufactured.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah. And that's how the second show was.

[Jason Bateman]

That's how the second show was.

[Will Arnett]

But I bet the audience. I bet it didn't feel good, but I bet it still was good.

[Sean Hayes]

Sean, explain to the audience a little bit. Cause you told me that you and I spoke earlier, and you told that. And. And I said, well, that's to be expected. And. And I said that because it's very frightening. It's kind of a known thing. Right. You do your first show.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

And it's great.

[Jason Bateman]

Gangbusters.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah. And then there's that sort of soft sophomore slump.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah. I guess. I wonder if it's an energy thing. Like, oh, man, I'm exhausted. Right. And then maybe that's just. I don't know.

[Sean Hayes]

And then you kind of build back up again.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah. But when you're. Yeah. When you're standing on the stage and you're saying the words and, like, you. Your mind goes blank, but your mouth keeps talking.

[Will Arnett]

Right. Was it just you going through this, or were the. The other actors have a good time? Was it a good show for them? How were they? Sometimes you can just rely on the rest of the team.

[Sean Hayes]

JB and I and our crew were coming next week to see you and jb. I don't know if you know this. This is the best news Sean told me today. You ready? It's an hour 15.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

Oh, it's a tight hour 15. Do I get to sit front row?

[Sean Hayes]

We're at dinner before we know it.

[Will Arnett]

Do I get to hold the book? Can I hold the book? Front row?

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

And be the guy you turn to if you forget a line.

[Jason Bateman]

I would love that.

[Will Arnett]

And then I give you the wrong line. Or. Or you just. You look to me and I just look up at you, and I just Give you a real polite middle finger.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

If you gave JB the book, I, I would say this is the.

[Jason Bateman]

Just give me a line from 12.

[Sean Hayes]

JB would be off book in 10 minutes.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, that's the way is.

[Jason Bateman]

You would be really good at that.

[Sean Hayes]

Ridiculous.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah, but when those curtains open and the lights come on, you're like, oh, there's, I have to do this. It's the scariest thing in the world.

[Will Arnett]

How was Scotty? Was Scotty a puddle of nerves? I bet he was.

[Jason Bateman]

He was. He looks scared. But you know what?

[Sean Hayes]

Look like he doesn't know what to do.

[Jason Bateman]

I, I, I went to PT today, physical therapy, because I'm standing so long on stage and so even right now as I'm talking to you, I have to learn how to do sit ups. Like, you know, like, you.

[Will Arnett]

Oh, is that what they're. Core.

[Sean Hayes]

You got to engage your core.

[Jason Bateman]

Engage your core. Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

Doctor said the middle's too soft.

[Sean Hayes]

And you're wearing, you're wearing double hokas, right? You've got custom hokas on.

[Will Arnett]

Hey, why don't you get one of those cashier mats?

[Sean Hayes]

Custom double hokas hook to my, the

[Jason Bateman]

bottom of my shoes.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cut out a couple of shoe size, shoe size cashier mats.

[Jason Bateman]

Like snowboards, like.

[Will Arnett]

Huh.

[Sean Hayes]

So you've got to engage. So you're doing sit ups. You're trying to do exercises to engage

[Jason Bateman]

your core, your core, so your back. Right. You guys all know that. Yeah, but I, I just kind of haven't been doing that. Anyway, who cares?

[Sean Hayes]

They'll get me going on core.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Jason Bateman]

You know, guys, someone who has a really good core is my guest today. He, he. Right. He grew up in a remote Australian community four hours from the nearest town. Spent his teenage years and at one point repaired breast pumps in a factory for 10 bucks an hour. He moved to LA to be an actor and was about to quit until one last audition. Flipped the script the way it always happened. He named his son after Brad Pitt's character in Legends of the Fall. But you may know him as Captain Kirk's father. It's the brilliant, charming Chris Hemsworth.

[Will Arnett]

Hemsworth.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Hello.

[Will Arnett]

Wow. Hello. How are you? How are you doing?

[Sean Hayes]

Well, Chris.

[Will Arnett]

Guys, this is. Chris knows my wife. Okay. And.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, really?

[Chris Hemsworth]

How do you.

[Jason Bateman]

Well, we got to start there.

[Sean Hayes]

You'll leave it at that and I'll pick it up from there. Chris, wait, for real?

[Will Arnett]

Yeah, they've done a little bit of partying together. Yeah, it's getting worse.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Where have you been at all those parties?

[Will Arnett]

I know you weren't involved. I'm kind of jealous. Well, I lost my privileges years ago and I think it's better for me to stay out of what we call trigger environments.

[Chris Hemsworth]

I should probably do this.

[Sean Hayes]

Wait, wait, what are we alluding to? What happened with.

[Will Arnett]

They've got some mutual friends and they have fun and they create trips and they go places and like recently or

[Chris Hemsworth]

in the past trips of Okons?

[Will Arnett]

Yeah, yeah, I think recently. Yeah. And then I, you know, I stay home and I, I just, I work on, I work on stuff. I do charity work, you know, and I, I, I fix the house, I take care of the kids.

[Sean Hayes]

Watching TV now, huh?

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah. Can you share? Chris? Hi, nice to meet you. By the way. Thank you for being here. Can you share share with us one of those vacations or trips.

[Will Arnett]

They're hard to recall, aren't they?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, they're quite, quite a blur. The last one was at Palm Springs and there was about.

[Jason Bateman]

Oh, that's nice.

[Chris Hemsworth]

50 or 60 people flown out there and it was quite a big three day event and. And you were missed, Jason. But we talked about it.

[Will Arnett]

I would have, I gotta crushed.

[Chris Hemsworth]

You would have crushed me. You would have been back in the old days.

[Will Arnett]

Be there. Hey, Will. You know what, Will? It's amazing you and I never partied.

[Sean Hayes]

I know. We did. We've been through this. We did one night. Jason doesn't. Chris, Jason doesn't remember but before our privileges. Privileges were suspended years ago. Jason and I had a night out and an. I don't want to get into the details of but we were irresponsible in our 20s and there were moments where we had fun.

[Will Arnett]

I had some fun with David Cross too a couple of times too.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Anyway, free iPhones and cameras and you can kind of get little bit of.

[Sean Hayes]

Jason one time took his belt off. He tried to climb a light pole once I was with him and David Cross and I only stayed late because I was like looking out for their safety because they were both acting like ding dongs. And remember I stole your. I had your belt for like six years.

[Will Arnett]

Why did my belt come off?

[Chris Hemsworth]

What happened just after that?

[Will Arnett]

Was I looking to self asphyxiate?

[Sean Hayes]

God. Anyway, Chris, welcome to Smart. Yes, thank you so much.

[Jason Bateman]

I want to start like in the intro, like learn. I read so much about you coming up to this and I knew none of this. First of all, I just want to. In the intro you named your son after Brad Pitt's character. Is that true, Tristan?

[Chris Hemsworth]

It was a from Legend of the Fall.

[Jason Bateman]

And did you talk about it with your wife?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah. No. So we liked the name. And then we were sitting on the couch one day, we had a few different ideas, and that film came on, and the scene where he's on the horse and rolls into the space across the field and couldn't look more legendary, and me and my wife both went, ah, this is the coolest character ever, isn't it? And his name was Tristan. And I was like, what about Tristan?

[Jason Bateman]

How about that?

[Chris Hemsworth]

That could work. And then off we went, how about that?

[Jason Bateman]

That's pretty cool.

[Will Arnett]

Now, has your kid grown into that name? Like, does he look like a Tristan now to you?

[Chris Hemsworth]

He does. I mean, he is shorter hair now, but he had. For the first kind of. He's 11 now. For the first kind of nine, 10 years, he didn't cut his hair. So it was long blonde hair. He would.

[Sean Hayes]

I mean, you really went with the Legends of the Flock.

[Chris Hemsworth]

I didn't know if it was an influence via outdoing or whether there was some sort of.

[Jason Bateman]

It wasn't a Halloween costume.

[Chris Hemsworth]

No, but he did he look.

[Will Arnett]

Did he look like mini Thor?

[Chris Hemsworth]

He absolutely did, yeah. And he's incredibly high energy and rides horses and motorbikes and surfs and so.

[Jason Bateman]

Oh, that's cool.

[Chris Hemsworth]

He fits the name. You'd be proud.

[Jason Bateman]

Did you ever meet Brad and tell him that?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Not that particular story, no. I met Brad once and I'm a big fan, obviously, and kind of had this awkward interaction where I went for the handshake or he went for the handshake, I went for the hug, that kind of in between thing, and almost turned into a kiss. And then I was thrown out of the party.

[Will Arnett]

My God, it would slow down. Too slow for me.

[Chris Hemsworth]

At that moment, I was standing across the room and my agent was like, he wants to meet you. I'm like, who? No, he doesn't want to meet me. Whatever. And then eventually, an hour later, I was like, oh, Brad, you're here. Oh, just trying to act all nonchalant.

[Will Arnett]

Hey, look at you.

[Jason Bateman]

One of those.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Look at you.

[Will Arnett]

You're doing well. Where are you? Are you. Are you down under?

[Chris Hemsworth]

No, I'm in New York. I'm in a press Tour for Crime 101. A film.

[Will Arnett]

Oh, I can't wait to see that.

[Sean Hayes]

You know where he is, J.B. look, you can see. You can see where he is.

[Will Arnett]

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's. That's right. That light switch right there turns on the fireplace. If you. If you've been. If you've been looking.

[Chris Hemsworth]

That's what that does.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah. I never knew where. Yeah, it's going to take a little while. It's going to click for a bit. You won't explode. Hey, that Bart Leighton, I love that guy. What a great director he is. I can't wait to see your film.

[Jason Bateman]

I just saw it last night, it was fantastic. Oh, you loved it. Yeah. Incredible.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Jason Bateman]

Edge of your shoe the whole time.

[Will Arnett]

No notes.

[Chris Hemsworth]

A couple.

[Jason Bateman]

They're locked.

[Will Arnett]

Oh, they're not locked yet.

[Sean Hayes]

Always notes.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Okay. If you want to give us a few notes off air, I can. I won't take them so personally.

[Will Arnett]

No, Chris, don't. Don't you. Don't you want. Don't you want some. Don't you want to do a film next that doesn't take like six months to shoot and all these sort of life threatening stunts you've got to do? And don't you want like a nice calm sort of like, like the equivalent of a sitco?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Sure.

[Will Arnett]

You know that you can just relax.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, yeah. The four, five, six month shoots are tedious and I know you've all experienced this, but unnecessary too. I feel like at this point, you know, like the technology of cameras and lighting and what you do in post production and everything is still done how we did it 10, 20 years ago. Yeah. And. And you have, you know, 20 big trucks there full of equipment sitting there just in case and especially on the bigger budget, you know, and you just stand around and do nothing. Then you do a smaller film and everyone's. It's fast paced. You don't have the luxury to sit around and wonder and you know, it feels like the preparation's almost done in a far more specific way because there's such a limited time frame. And I love that style of working. Like I grew up working on a soap opera and it was. We'd shoot 20 scenes a day and as you know, the scripts were not great, but you made them work. But just the momentum you get from that and the sort of. Just by having your feet on the ground continuously day after day. The knowledge you gain from that I think is fantastic.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah. Learning to be good quick. Right. Like you've gotta be good fast on those soap operas. Yeah, yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

What was the soap opera?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Or you're going to be bad fast too, which was what most of what I did.

[Will Arnett]

But yeah, we just had Margot Robbie on. She said she was on a show.

[Jason Bateman]

She was on Neighbors. And you.

[Chris Hemsworth]

I did Neighbors for like an episode and then I did Home and Away, which is the sort of competing one for like three years and when Margot

[Jason Bateman]

was on, she talked about when she moved to la, that there was like an Australian mafia that helped each other out kind of thing. Right. You know what I mean? Were you part of that?

[Chris Hemsworth]

There was like a drive, honest. I always felt there was the Australian mafia kind of film industry and then the folks that had trained at NIDA and I think Mel Gibson and Cate Blanchett and, you know, the big acting schools and then the theater group. And then I was on the soap opera. And I always felt a little outside of that cool mafia bubble.

[Will Arnett]

Right.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And I remember kind of turning up to a few premieres and kind of being on the guest list, but not really and having all those awkward moments and. And honestly, when I came to la, I didn't know that whole crew of Australian people. And I started working and eventually met them all and, you know, Joel Edgerton and a few folks that, you know, good friends of mine now, but Joel, I always felt I was. I did, you know, I did so proper. I did Dancing with the Stars, so I wasn't seen as being taken serious.

[Jason Bateman]

Wow.

[Will Arnett]

Everyone was giving you the Brad Pitt handshake.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

Did you rent a car from the Romanian guy? Margo rented a car from a Romanian dude who didn't require any id.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Oh, God, no.

[Will Arnett]

Well, now I imagine you're fully embraced and it's all one big deal.

[Chris Hemsworth]

It is. It's such a. It is because it's. It is such a small industry, you know, and. And those who have had success in Australia and make the leap overseas and work there is just such a cool gang of, you know, people in support now.

[Sean Hayes]

It's remarkable. Again, we said it with Margot, but it's remarkable how many Australians come off those two shows and come and have huge success in this country in the film business. It's remarkable. It really is.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Jason Bateman]

It's the SNL of Australia.

[Sean Hayes]

Yes.

[Jason Bateman]

You know what I mean? SNL bores so many stars.

[Will Arnett]

All right, so you're in New York and you're doing a bunch of press for crime 101. I would imagine you're gonn do a talk show or two. But are you. Are you noticing, Are you doing like some of the content stuff that is kind of like a part of most of these press tours now? Like, Willie, I know you've got a Hot Wings out there. I still haven't seen, but I'm dying too.

[Jason Bateman]

But like, I saw clips of it.

[Will Arnett]

It's really good. So like every. Have you been doing some of that stuff?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, I did. I actually did Hot Wings for a previous film. A lot of fun. Not. Not on the show.

[Will Arnett]

How far did you get? Did you do all 10?

[Chris Hemsworth]

I did. And I was getting really cocky and kind of just more and more, more, more, more. And this one's not so bad.

[Jason Bateman]

And.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And will, you know, by, like, the 9th or 10th one, it's just a different game. And they just stopped recording. Cause I was like. We had to throw up. And they got me ice cream and milk, and I was.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And we were all supposed to go out for dinner that night, and I hadn't eaten all day. And I did the show. And by the time I did the show, it was. The first thing I put in my stomach was this.

[Will Arnett]

So you were hungry, too?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Hot sauce. And then I just went back to the hotel room and I sat there for the next 12 hours hugging the toilet bowl.

[Will Arnett]

Did you sit down?

[Jason Bateman]

I didn't.

[Chris Hemsworth]

I was just on the floor. Nothing was operating properly. Everything wanted to come out.

[Jason Bateman]

Why does it.

[Sean Hayes]

I had to take the ice cream, and I. And I ended up slathering it on my lips like zinc, like a. Like a surfer.

[Will Arnett]

Tell me slow. And then was it dripping down your chin?

[Sean Hayes]

It was. I. Honestly, at one point, I was like. I wanted to rip. Like, it was spurting so bad. And I was just. The whole time, I was slightly angry.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, and then you enjoyed it.

[Will Arnett]

He just kept looking at Louis K, by the way.

[Sean Hayes]

I did. I called him out. And by the way, the only reason I went all the way through is because they told me, jb, that you had made it all the way through.

[Will Arnett]

Sure, not a problem.

[Sean Hayes]

Shut up.

[Will Arnett]

This mouth can. This mouth can take a lot. Hey, but what. I only took one bite.

[Sean Hayes]

Enjoyable. About having it that hot. Anybody wants to have that on their food.

[Will Arnett]

Like, did you do the. Did you eat the whole wing? I just took one bite.

[Sean Hayes]

No, one bite. One bite.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah. That's all it took.

[Sean Hayes]

That's all it took.

[Jason Bateman]

Well, Chris ate the bones. That's why he threw up.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, but it was just on. I did Graham Norton with John Bishop.

[Will Arnett]

Oh, you did? Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, nice.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Lovely bloke. And a fantastic film, by the way.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, thanks, man. He's a great dude, isn't he?

[Chris Hemsworth]

He's great. He's amazing. And he told the whole story and. Yeah. What a beautiful. What a beautiful story. The kind of thing you. You can't write. You know what I mean? Real life kind of shows you the. The better stories. But I love what the sequel.

[Will Arnett]

Be on that, Willie. What would be the sequel Is this thing still. What's going on? What's. John. John Bishop. Yeah. What would happen with you? And you would. You'd go. You'd go to the Olympics with Laura. Right.

[Sean Hayes]

By the way, no bad pitches. Keep going. And she'd win the gold as a coach.

[Will Arnett]

She'd win the gold as a coach.

[Sean Hayes]

As a coach. Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

And then you guys would go on tour, doing a stand up. Stand up tour.

[Sean Hayes]

And I'd get canceled. And I'd get canceled on tour. And. And then it would be, you know. Friday. Yeah. Let's write it.

[Will Arnett]

Here we go.

[Jason Bateman]

It writes itself.

[Sean Hayes]

Chris, I haven't seen you since we were singing that song in that car on that crazy commercial.

[Will Arnett]

You did Karaoke?

[Chris Hemsworth]

No. What was it? It was for a video game.

[Sean Hayes]

For a video game.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Some head banging.

[Will Arnett]

Sounds like a payday.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah. And artistic, you know, integrity, expression, all of that.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, yeah, that too. It was a crazy, huge production for a video game commercial. Not even. It was a mobile game.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah. Yeah, it was. Well, God, what was it called?

[Will Arnett]

Chris? Do you play?

[Sean Hayes]

We had fun, though. We loved it. We love it. We loved it so much.

[Jason Bateman]

We love.

[Will Arnett]

Whatever those video games that you need, like a headset to play, you know, you're shooting people up. Willie does that. Well, you don't still do that, do you?

[Sean Hayes]

I don't. It's been years, actually, to be honest. Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

I want to know, Sean, you're into Sonic, aren't you?

[Jason Bateman]

The burgers or.

[Will Arnett]

No, immediately.

[Chris Hemsworth]

The food.

[Will Arnett]

And now back to the show.

[Jason Bateman]

So hey Chris, I want to know about growing up and talk to me how that started and where the first love came from. Like what was the first thing?

[Sean Hayes]

Also like also an acting family. Sean, it should be pointed out. No for sure.

[Jason Bateman]

Well, I was getting there.

[Sean Hayes]

Well, I'm sorry.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, neither Neither of my parents were. Were actors. My mum has more of an artistic flair. You know, she paints a lot and writes, but and was interested in acting and then she got pregnant with my older brother when she was 19 and then had me and then had my younger brother. And so we kind of ruined her dreams in that sense.

[Jason Bateman]

And there's three. Are there any more than the three brothers?

[Chris Hemsworth]

No, it's just the three of us.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah, there's three, yeah.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And grew up in Melbourne and then moved to Northern Territory in the outback and lived in an Aboriginal community there. And my dad was mustard cattle and buffalo and so on. And it was. Yeah, it was the complete removal from the suburban Melbourne city life. We were literally. You mentioned before, but 4 and a half hours outside of Catherine, southeast Arnhem Land and just a different world. Like my most vivid memories and some of the most. Most beautiful memories I've heard from.

[Will Arnett]

How old were you when you. When you left there?

[Chris Hemsworth]

I was. First time was about 4 to 6. And then came back to Melbourne for a year and then went back up for another year and a half. Wow.

[Will Arnett]

So, you know, do you know your way around a farm then with. With cattle and stuff like that? Could you, could you get by?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, I mean, I was young, you know, I was just kind of.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Exploring and doing, you know.

[Will Arnett]

Doesn't make you uncomfortable though?

[Chris Hemsworth]

No, no, no. I was around it all and was sort of fascinated.

[Sean Hayes]

I don't think he gets uncomfortable with a lot. Jb Let'

[Will Arnett]

Unlike me.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, he's, you know, he's not, he's not skateboarding around Hollywood, you know, going on auditions.

[Will Arnett]

I know I'm so soft. Why am I so soft? Grown up out back.

[Sean Hayes]

But. But what?

[Jason Bateman]

But did you have, like, this is a dumb question, but in the middle of basically nowhere where you grew up, like, what was the impetus for. Did you have a tv? And you're like, oh, I want to see that from that person on that TV show or so.

[Chris Hemsworth]

The first time we lived there, we were in kind of shanty looking shacks and then a tent at one point, like it was proper, like out in the middle of nowhere on different cattle stations. And so no TV during that time. The second time we had a TV and the. There was a truck that would come and deliver food and supplies to the community every, you know, month or so on, and he'd drop us off a couple of VHS tapes. And I remember watching as a really Young Kid Terminator 1, a bunch of other random sort of things which are great for kids at the age of five or six. Yeah, sure. And it wasn't that that inspired me, but that was kind of, I don't know, my earliest memories of what cinema was and that experience. And then I just love watching movies and not so much to be an actor. It was more of like, oh, I want to be Legolas in Lord of the Rings, and I want to go and, you know, swing a sword and be in that fantasy world and.

[Jason Bateman]

Right.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And again, not escaping what I was in, you know, in my own world, but just the sheer adventure of it. And then by the time I was 18 and finishing high school, it just became a real obsession, like it does, and like it needs to be, I guess. And.

[Will Arnett]

Right.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And then I did. Yeah, I did the soap opera and then off to la, and then.

[Will Arnett]

Wait, I want to get back to. So the Whole Foods truck just drove right up to the community and they just open up the back.

[Chris Hemsworth]

There was a big shed in this community. There's a lot of separate communities throughout Arnhem Land, and they would do deliveries with basic sort of, you know, bits and pieces that would go into this. What was the shop, which was literally just a big shed. I did a documentary, actually, with my dad that when we go back to that community and there's the same shed there from 30 something years ago, did

[Will Arnett]

it come back to you?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Oh, my God. The huge, like, sort of nostalgia and the detail to which, like, these places prompted the vivid memories was astounding. Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

Probably surprised you, right? You didn't know it was gonna come back.

[Chris Hemsworth]

I thought it would have changed dramatically. And I went, oh. And I remember every little corner of the little streets we were living on. And I remember what games I was playing at what places and where I was hanging out. And there was this big freezer in the back of their shed where they kept all the cold food, which mean, my mate, you should just go and sit in and, you know, eat the chocolate bars and so on, because it was so hot out there in the middle of the outback. But it was, yeah, fascinating and beautiful place.

[Will Arnett]

And that's still. Is that still home? Is that still main base for you? Australia.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Australia, yeah. Byron Bay. We live, like, northern New South Wales now and moved back there 11, 12 years ago. It was kind of like, my daughter is 13, my boys were 11. So it was right around the time my boys were born. And it was. It was just. We kind of were set up in LA and not enjoying it, you know, like, nothing was shooting there. We were filming kind of everywhere else,

[Sean Hayes]

but, well, you're traveling anyway, so you might as well. I mean, it's a lot longer, but you might as well live where you want to live. Is that the idea?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, absolutely. And then we, you know, you'd come home and paparazzi and all the sort of the trappings of, you know, living in the sort of that space and moved back to Australia and. And that just was. It's been the greatest decision because it's such a. It's like, you know, when you come back from work, you want to go on a holiday. Like, coming home for me feels like a holiday. We have big farm and horses and motorbikes and surf and that's so cool.

[Jason Bateman]

And that's how I read. That's how you guys, you and your brothers grew up too. Just like, no helmets riding, like no supervision.

[Sean Hayes]

Just like.

[Jason Bateman]

It's crazy, right?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not cause my parents didn't care, it was just cause.

[Jason Bateman]

No, right. I didn't mean that.

[Sean Hayes]

Jesus, Sean.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Jesus, Sean. No, it was. We lived about 20 minutes from like the main sort of suburban areas of Melbourne, up in the hills. And the nearest neighbour was, you know, a kilometre or two away. And it was just all bushland and rainforest sort of set up around us. And so we would just spend, you know, outdoors, adventures and playing different characters. And I think that's, to be honest, where the sort of intrigue or interest into that, you know, transportation into another.

[Sean Hayes]

So then how do you go from that, from. And you have this sort of interest and what was the first audition like, what was the first thing you go like, I'm gonna go read for that.

[Chris Hemsworth]

I had a. I did a. Like a. Every Wednesday night I used to drive an hour and a half into the city, into Melbourne to do this acting course. It was like a two hour, you know, session where they record everything you did. And you'd have a little VHS tape and you go home and watch it and you go, wow, it doesn't look anything like I thought it would. And so it's great. You shocked at the system and trial by fire and a pretty good sort of wake up. But you learn quick, you know, as opposed to just doing acting classes and not ever being confronted with what you're actually putting on screen.

[Will Arnett]

You learn a lot from watching yourself. I do about, you know, oh, shit, don't do that again.

[Chris Hemsworth]

100%. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And all your little sort of tells or habits or things you're repeating, you're like, oh, wow. I thought I was kind of in a completely different space and I'M doing exactly the same thing I did before. Right, right, right. But I got an agent and then my first audition was, I think the first job I got was, I think it was called the Saddle Club and it was a Canadian, Australian show about Sean.

[Will Arnett]

You used to run the door at the Saddle Club, didn't you?

[Jason Bateman]

I still do. I still do. Just for some extra money.

[Will Arnett]

We take those, those easy, cheap shots. Feel free to jump in anytime you think of one.

[Chris Hemsworth]

It was a good show based around horses and, you know, Horse club. And I came in as a vet at the age of 18, you know, Doogie House of the vet world.

[Jason Bateman]

That's funny.

[Will Arnett]

Sean would let the bears in too, as well, for sure.

[Sean Hayes]

So he was a vet of sorts, I guess in that way.

[Jason Bateman]

Veteran, you know. Wait, which brother got the first job?

[Chris Hemsworth]

My older brother Luke. He worked on Neighbours actually for a while as a steroid selling football player.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah, that's funny.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Quite a role.

[Jason Bateman]

And then in the intro, I read that one job because you said you wanted to quit. And like Jason was saying, it always happens that way when you're like, I can't do this anymore. And then something in the universe goes, wait a minute, you have to. And what was that? Was that cabin in the woods?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, it was. It was. And it's funny. Is it the universe or is it this sort of you just surrender to the process and you remove some of the desperation that may be coming out.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah. You kind of hit fuck it.

[Chris Hemsworth]

You fuck it.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

And people can tell and it's kind of. It's that sexy indifference, guys. Yeah, right?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

Now what is that, what is that expression?

[Chris Hemsworth]

So here's what it is, Trump.

[Sean Hayes]

It is true.

[Will Arnett]

It's a bumper sticker.

[Sean Hayes]

It's amazing. We all know what that means.

[Chris Hemsworth]

When you're exhausted or you come in and you're hungover or what, and all of a sudden it's like your body just doesn't have the strength to light, you know, you're being up with adrenaline and it just kind of sits in the pocket.

[Sean Hayes]

You're not thirsty, you're not looking, you're not desperate, you're just, this is me. This is the way it is. Take it or leave it. And there's something about that. People are like, I like that.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Which comes through the, like excessive sort of the preparation too. You know what I mean? And that was what I learned. I then would try and replicate that by not caring, which of course I did care. So it was like, well, how can I get to the point where I can Let go. And then it was just about over preparation and where there was no stone unturned, then you felt like, well, I've done everything I could. Anytime I would walk into a room and audition and feel like, oh, you could have learned these lines a bit better, or you should have done this. And then that kind of voice takes off and does all sorts of shitty things.

[Will Arnett]

You were falling into the trap. I used to fall in this trap of trying to pretend like I didn't care. So acting twice in an audition, it was like the most idiotic, most exhausting bullshit thing. Like, I'm already sweating, you know, Trying to pretend like I'm not gonna sweat.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jason Bateman]

Wait, so just the sidebar, I was gonna say is the day that Cabin in the woods came out was also the same day my movie Three Stooges came out. But I think you guys beat us. Anyway, moving on.

[Will Arnett]

Let me tell you something about this picture, Sean. I actually watched 10 minutes of that, like, not four days ago.

[Jason Bateman]

Thank you. What, the Three Stooges?

[Will Arnett]

Yeah.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

On the big screen.

[Jason Bateman]

You gave it a full 10 minutes?

[Will Arnett]

A full 10 here on TV. And then we lost power or something like that, and so I couldn't see any more.

[Sean Hayes]

But it literally crashed the power at your house.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Jason, you mentioned before, you know, Bart Leighton or you.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a huge fan of his film American Animals, and I just started pursuing him like some crazy fan after that. And he sat down and had lunch with me and humored me for a bit. But, yeah, cannot wait to see this.

[Chris Hemsworth]

He's incredible. This was, I think, the sort of the best experience I've ever had in a set. And I've had some amazing times. And it kind of reminded me, to be honest, of, like, Furiosa with George Miller felt like this and Rush many years ago. And it's that thing where there's just this beautiful. He is just such a craftsman, such a master. Attention to detail is beyond anyone I've ever seen.

[Jason Bateman]

Some of those shots are incredible.

[Chris Hemsworth]

The cinematography's stunning. And he wrote the script, so there's this deeper sort of understanding of every element to it. But then it's just this kind, collaborative, humble human being, which you don't get. The two.

[Will Arnett]

I was just gonna say that kind. Yeah. Kind leadership. Right. Ron Howard on Rush, Bart on this. It just. It. It ends up yielding that great input from this entire team.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

If somebody at the top is not a monster.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

You should look into that.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah. I'm reading and reading.

[Sean Hayes]

Just take note.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

Because I've heard a lot of stories from your sets. From a lot of. I get a lot of anonymous emails.

[Will Arnett]

A lot of it's true. A lot of it's true. Working it.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, Real groucher. Me, Groucherton. Is your nickname jk? Everybody loves jk.

[Jason Bateman]

Wait, so. So a couple, like, things I didn't know. Okay.

[Will Arnett]

Are we back off the sidebar or we.

[Jason Bateman]

We're into mainstream questions. I don't know if we have enough

[Sean Hayes]

time for the segment. Things you don't know.

[Jason Bateman]

No, but look, you got. I love all the places you'll go.

[Chris Hemsworth]

So you.

[Jason Bateman]

Right, so, right. So when I first of all talk about your tattoos, I want to. Then I'll get into that. So you've got tattoos, which I never. I didn't know you've had this many tattoos. So tell us, tell us the tattoos you have.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Oh, there are a bunch of random kind of.

[Will Arnett]

Start with the back tat.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Starts the back tat. The holly died. And the hawk. That's.

[Will Arnett]

No, no, no, the one on the tailback.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Oh, the barbed wire.

[Will Arnett]

The one that says, just breathe, open for business.

[Jason Bateman]

Oh, my God, that's hilarious.

[Chris Hemsworth]

My tattoos. So I have a Dr. Seuss tattoo. My daughter was. I used to read that book to her a lot and my mum read it to me. Oh, the places we go, you'll go. And she just would draw that little character and loved it. And so I got that tattoo. Oh, I love that.

[Jason Bateman]

Isn't that great?

[Chris Hemsworth]

And then a few years later, I was like, I'm kind of sick of it. So I started getting it taken off and I did like one laser session. And then she came home one day and she goes, it's rubbing off. What happened to it? It's rubbing off. And I was like, oh, did you. Do you still? I don't know. I thought you were sick of it. She goes, no, I love it, I love it. So it's now kind of half faded, you know, but it's still there. And then I've got another. It's a bunch of my arm, actually. The little drawings that she did that I was sitting with a tattoo artist one night and it was like 10 o' clock and he's designing all these different things and all this sort of sacred geometry and trippy looking stuff and. And my daughter walked out and goes, dad, I can't sleep. You're making too much noise. I'm like, sorry, sorry. And she sits down and starts squiggling and drew the three little images here. Which one of them? And the Guy next to us goes, that's the wheel of Dharma. It's the eight steps to enlightenment. So it's this. She's drawn that.

[Jason Bateman]

Oh, really?

[Chris Hemsworth]

And then the five pointed star. And, you know. So he looked at me and go, I think they're way cooler than anything we're designing. And so took a photo of that, and that's that. And then that's awesome.

[Sean Hayes]

So cool.

[Chris Hemsworth]

A bunch of other sort of scribbles

[Jason Bateman]

and your Avengers friends, which is cool.

[Sean Hayes]

I made disparaging remarks about people with tattoos on a podcast in the uk. Do you know that guy Ramesh? He's hilarious. Do you know that dude over in London? Anyway, I made a sweeping generalization kind of as a bit, and I got a bunch of hate from it. What I was like, I said, there's a direct correspondence between. The more tattoos you have, by the way, I don't even believe this. The more tattoos you have, the less interest. The more. More tattoos you have, the more boring you are. All I said was boring. People freaked out. And I'm like, I'm just fucking around. It's like, I don't have a scientific opinion on this. I'm just fucking around.

[Jason Bateman]

All right.

[Will Arnett]

Sounds like someone who would like a few tattoos. Would you like a couple?

[Sean Hayes]

I would like a couple, actually.

[Jason Bateman]

I thought you had your kids.

[Will Arnett]

I don't have one. All I have are just my kids here on the inside of my arm. That's it. But I feel like I want like a thousand more. I feel like the damn friends who

[Sean Hayes]

are covered in tattoos, that would mean that I hate all my friends. Yeah.

[Chris Hemsworth]

I feel the problem is I get. I get sick of them, and so I'm into them for a few weeks.

[Sean Hayes]

That's what I'm worried about.

[Chris Hemsworth]

I want to just get them all removed.

[Sean Hayes]

But you're not sick of the ones

[Will Arnett]

from your kids, though?

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, the kids.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Ones that have a bit of something to it. But I've got some other ones that, like the weird sort of psychodrometry one, which looks like the Illuminati kind of vibe to it.

[Will Arnett]

I love all those little tiny drawing ones, you know, like. Like, I think like what you were showing on your arm, like, just like the little doodles. Yeah, that's what I. Yeah, I love that. I want some of those.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, I love. You know, but then you get a lot. Do you have any of the ones they see people like, like on their arm? It's like, stay alert. And I'm like, do you have to look at it to remind yourself like breathe.

[Jason Bateman]

And if you're looking at it, you're not alert.

[Sean Hayes]

Just breathe. Just breathe.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Any quotes or any.

[Sean Hayes]

I wanted jb. I always threatened that if the Leafs win the Stanley Cup, I'm going to get my whole back of Wendell Clark, who's been retired for years, but my hockey idol. Holding the Stanley cup on my back. I think I'm safe for now. For a while, it looks like.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah. We're struggling along with you here in Los Angeles.

[Sean Hayes]

Sean. You don't have any, right? You don't have any tattoos?

[Jason Bateman]

No, I've always wanted one. I was one.

[Sean Hayes]

Let's do one. Let's design. I'll design one for you and then you design one for me.

[Will Arnett]

Sean, if you had to put. If you had to get a tattoo of a snack food on your body, what would it be? Oh, you have to. A guns to your head 1. Snack food on the body.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah, it would have to probably.

[Sean Hayes]

It can't be hot dog. Can it be.

[Will Arnett]

Can it be a Twinkie? What about.

[Jason Bateman]

No, it'd probably be a Snickers bar.

[Will Arnett]

A Snickers bar. And where would you put that?

[Jason Bateman]

What about right on my neck?

[Sean Hayes]

Just right on your tummy. Right across your tummy.

[Jason Bateman]

That's where it ends up.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Next to Bob Wire and people.

[Jason Bateman]

Because that's what people will snicker.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jason Bateman]

We'll be right back. How do you like to play when you travel? Maybe you're doing something relaxing like lounging by a Palm Springs pool or sipping your way through Napa Valley. Or maybe you're into checking out the local scene, like exploring Griffith park or taking a San Francisco food tour. What are some of your favorite California foods? I'm a sucker for the staple of avocado toast. Never had it till I lived in Los Angeles. And it's great. The best way to get to NOAA City is through hitting all the must see stops. Feeling adventurous? Ride dune buggies through the desert? Hike Yosemite's stunning trails. Or kayak through San Diego's sea caves. Or perhaps it's all of the above.

[Jason Bateman]

So Chris in Crime 101 this is, I mean we always talk about this on this podcast, but like when people from Australia or the UK have to do these American accents and they're so good and they're so believable and then you speak in your regular Australia. It's just like, I don't know what happens. It's like, how do you do that? I could never do an Australian accent. That's the hardest one.

[Sean Hayes]

Try red.

[Jason Bateman]

No, no, I couldn't do it.

[Will Arnett]

Guns to your head.

[Jason Bateman]

I can say one word. Chest is cheesed. That's all I know.

[Chris Hemsworth]

That sounds more Kiwi chist.

[Jason Bateman]

That sounds weird.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Like, Kiwi sounds like more New Zealand chichist.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah.

[Jason Bateman]

Oh, it does.

[Chris Hemsworth]

We'd say chest. Oh, you would say chest.

[Will Arnett]

Say aluminium, Sean.

[Jason Bateman]

Aluminium.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Aluminium.

[Jason Bateman]

I can do a British one. I can't do it.

[Sean Hayes]

Let's hear that guy. I mean, is it from that guy?

[Chris Hemsworth]

It's we. I think. I mean, most of our television and film growing up is American, so there's a bit of, you know, we have a need for it, I guess, but I've also screwed it up many times as well.

[Will Arnett]

And, you know, how often will you go back in? Will you ask, like, you'll see an early cut of something and you'll ask the director, hey, could I go in and redo that line or that line more now?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Like, I didn't even know I had the option in the past. And I, you know, see some review talking about, you know, not so favorably. And then the worst was a Scottish accent I did for something and. And someone said, it's the worst Glaswegian accent we've heard since the Fat Bastard in Austin Powers, which is one of the greatest. I was like, a great job.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

I love these guys on the sidelines throwing bombs. Yeah, do it.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah, I know. I think you're brilliant at it. And what about. And then you met. Didn't you meet Elsa, your wife, through a dialect coach?

[Chris Hemsworth]

We did, yeah. Yep. Yep. It was like, what. What was she going for the Darlit coach or Elsa?

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah, I mean, but I meant, like, why, like, why were you there at the same time?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Oh, no, we just. We were both training separately with her, and she said, oh, I think you'd like, you know, someone else I'm working with. And I said, oh, what's her name? And looked her up and thought, oh, she looks lovely. Sure. Give me a phone number. And then we really.

[Jason Bateman]

It was that simple.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And then we. We went out for dinner, and then I went and shot a movie and then came back, had dinner, and then went off, shot, shot another movie. And so it was like we weren't together, but we'd sort of been in contact for kind of eight months and then got together and very quickly had kids in marriage and all that fun stuff.

[Sean Hayes]

But that's nice, though. That's kind of a nice slow burn, though. Like, you kind of, like, ease into it a little bit. Couple Dinners here and there, and.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, a bit of distance. Kind of long distance.

[Will Arnett]

Is that a novel idea to you, Will. Just a couple of dates before you start. Hey, so. Wow. So you took her out to dinner a couple of times, did you? So, Chris. So, Chris, your kids are now at the age where. Where they can see how badass dad is, and they can appreciate kind of like, what a set is like, and that. That might be a fun sort of atypical work environment. Any of them getting kind of the bug to do what you do? Any interest there?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, they do. My daughter was in Love and Thunder, the last Thor film, and she played Christian Bale's daughter. And then she's.

[Will Arnett]

Did she dig it?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, but she was like. I asked her to. You know, I said, look, I can. Do you want to do this role? And she goes, oh, yeah, cool. What do I have to do? And I said, I'll just read these lines. She goes, no, I don't want to read the lines. And I was like, I gotta record something to send to Kevin Feige. She's like, no, I'm not doing it. And I was like, okay, well, you can't do it. She goes, no, but I want to do it. I'm like, yeah, but you got it. This is like an audition she won't read. So she finally did it. They were like, great. Loved it. And then she did Avengers, and this is three, four years later. And by this point, she's so much more jaded about it all. She kind of is like. Doesn't. Hates the whole scene and everything, but, you know, tells me she enjoys acting. We do one take, wide take, mostly sort of in my direction. And she gets up and goes, okay, we done? I said, no, you serious? And she goes, how much longer? And I'm like, we're here all week, and you've done, like, one wide shot. And every single time we'd go back to the tent or the trailer and they call us in, she'd be like, oh, God. And I was like, india, you begged me to do this. You wanted to do it. And then her brothers are like, we'll do it. We'll do it. You're such a silk India. And so they probably have more. My boys probably have more of a. Like, I don't know. They like the kind of. They're a bit more of a showman kind of. You know, they like that space.

[Will Arnett]

How were the Russos on her? Did the Russos take care of her, or was Joe just hammering her with notes?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Just heaps of Notes, backstory, incessant. On sort of the study and the preps you've done? No, not at all. They're fantastic.

[Jason Bateman]

And Chris, do your kids, I read that they critique your movies. Do they actually write them or do they just tell you?

[Chris Hemsworth]

No, they'll just blatantly tell me. I mean, but that whole generation, they're like, yeah, visual effects weren't as good in that one, dad. Or the action was. I don't ever remember commenting on any of that as a kid.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah, my kids never like watching anything that's like five years old old. That's the. The sick.

[Sean Hayes]

My kids, My kids came. My kids came and saw our mind. Bradley, that is this thing on. And Abel, my 15 year old goes a lot better than that one. The movie you did with the talking dogs. I go, hey, dude.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah?

[Sean Hayes]

Did your braces get paid for?

[Chris Hemsworth]

How you doing the house you're living in?

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, yeah. Pretty comfy.

[Jason Bateman]

Exactly.

[Sean Hayes]

Pretty comfy right now.

[Will Arnett]

Do your kids, do your kids. Give it up, Chris. Well, like if you do something great, will they go? You don't have to.

[Sean Hayes]

Have to do.

[Chris Hemsworth]

They're really supportive. I remember the first time when they were sort of realising what it was that I did. And the first time my son, I took him to the cinema to watch, to see Thor. And he was just running up and down the aisle and I was like, just gotta sit down. And he's jumping up and down the chairs and I was just like, you know, just trying to sit him down, hold him down, hold him down. And then I was like, fuck, this is my movie. I'm fucking on the screen, you know, worried about someone's gonna yell at us. But I thought, and in the end he was like having so much fun. He's sweating, he's sweating and he's like, right, let's go. And then, so he left halfway through and he ran up and down the hallway and he's like that he's turbulence pig. But he became obsessed with it and had a little hammer that he'd run around with and smash things and.

[Jason Bateman]

Oh, really? That's cool.

[Sean Hayes]

I mean, that's pretty cool. I get it. My 15 year old wishes you were his dad too. It's unbelievable.

[Will Arnett]

Long line of kids, but it's changing.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Like the 11, 13 year old time when there's a whole new vernacular and all this sort of new language they seem to roll with and everything's got like a sarcastic sort of twist to it now. Cause all the YouTube shit and so on. And I'll say something and they've got. Ugh, cringe. I'm like, no, no, no, no.

[Will Arnett]

I'm fucking cool.

[Sean Hayes]

Right?

[Chris Hemsworth]

I'm one of the cooler dads. Right? And it's like, yes. It's all fighting in the distance.

[Will Arnett]

Honest.

[Jason Bateman]

I love that. You know, this. The Avengers, Doomsday. I was at Anthony Russo's house and we saw the trailer. We were the first people to see the trailer. Yeah, it was. It was incredible. This will be the. I don't know if you know this. This will be the 10th time you've played Thor, which is really cool.

[Chris Hemsworth]

It's wild. Is it? I know.

[Jason Bateman]

It's wild. Really cool.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Jason Bateman]

Oh, really? There's more.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Jason Bateman]

Oh, that's great.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yep. But it's just been the. It's been so much fun. And what I've really enjoyed is unlike, I think a lot of what the other characters that the scripts were given, they have had to be pretty consistent. Whereas working with Taika on his films versus Kenneth Branagh with those films, and then from, you know, with the Russos, all quite a different sort of tonal opinion. But also let me kind of try different things. Cause I was getting same with my tattoos. I'd be getting really bored of the same thing and having a real need to kind of just throw it in different directions. And I was talking to Kevin about it, and he said, oh, it's cool. Because we've the audience now expect dramatic turns with the character. And whatever we do next, that we've got some ideas to do something pretty unique again or hopefully be.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah, I was gonna say you must have ide. All must have ideas about where your characters might go. Because now. Now you guys. I guess for a long time now, you guys have been going, there aren't comic books to write these scripts off of. You guys have gone past those, and so do you guys.

[Sean Hayes]

There's also an obligation, though, JB within. Isn't there, like, not an obligation, but, like. Because the fans are so. They know these characters so well. So you've got to handle it kind of with care. Like, you take chances.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

But you've also gotta, like, make sure that they don't get pissed off.

[Chris Hemsworth]

No, for sure. Because, I mean, you still can pull from. There's so many different stories within the comic books, and you pull from ideas and certain, you know, directions. But. And each. Even within the different comic book artists, writers, they had sort of slightly different takes as well. So there's variations. But you do have to be careful, because when we made Ragnarok it was quite a twist, you know, and with Taika's tone. Yeah.

[Jason Bateman]

Such a great movie.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And it was so good and it was so fun. And there was a huge kind of, like, appreciation for the shift. And then love and Thunder was kind of like a Monty Python sketch. And we sort of took the piss probably a little much. And then there was some of that backlash, you know, that there was the sort of real kind of, why is he a goofball? And why is it this? And. And, you know, violently offended. And we were like, oh, we're just, you know, having fun or trying to try something different. And so.

[Will Arnett]

But it is cool that there's that partnership there, though, with the audience as well as the filmmakers that doesn't really exist in other. I mean, maybe Star Wars. There's some of that as well, but that part is really cool.

[Jason Bateman]

Star Wars.

[Sean Hayes]

Sorry.

[Jason Bateman]

If you can stick around for a couple hours because we think about Star Wars. Wait, what about, like, in the intro? I didn't know. This is total left turn, but when you were growing up, you repaired breast milk pumps. What?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, I worked for Fisher and Paykel. This home. What do you call it? White goods. Home goods, yeah. Fridges and stuff.

[Sean Hayes]

They also make dishwashers.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Dishwashers. And they make breast pumps.

[Sean Hayes]

They make the. I didn't know that.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And they would rent them to different pharmacies and chemists and they would come back to us and I'd have to repair them when they're like. The little belt. The motor belt would break. I'd also have to clean all the dried milk that was on them. So I'd have a toothbrush and some spray and wipe. And that was my first job.

[Jason Bateman]

How about that?

[Chris Hemsworth]

A lot of time to think about what else I would prefer to be doing.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah, for sure. And you're a big surfer and you do snowboarding and it's like, by the way, is it. When is there snow there in Australia?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Right now, Summer now. But I was just in Courchevel, France, last week with my family, snowboarding.

[Will Arnett]

Did you do some skiing?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, a lot of skiing. Snowboarding. And kids were all doing backflips.

[Jason Bateman]

Did you.

[Sean Hayes]

Did you. You must have played a lot of sports growing up.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, I did the 110 hurdles. That was my event. Wasn't quite quick enough for the hundred, but I was tall enough and agile enough for the hurdle, so it was a good combination.

[Will Arnett]

What about footy? Did you play any footy?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Afl. Football. Yep. And AFL. Played for eight or nine years, and then when I was 17, I dislocated my shoulder and tore all the ligaments. And I'd been surfing a lot at the same time, and so I had eight weeks of sitting on the couch doing nothing, and I was like, I don't want to risk not surfing anymore. And then sort of gave that up.

[Sean Hayes]

Must be a lot of dislocated shoulders in afl.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Every injury I have now, that, like, back and the things that start to play up, I swear we're from, like, nine years of just getting belted on the football field. Like, it. Yeah, it's intense and. And you. Your body would shatter if you got hit at that speed now. But running full pelt into each other. You know, I got two concussions when I was like, 14, 15.

[Sean Hayes]

I remember going to. Going to Australia, going to Melbourne and seeing if. Going to an AFL match and just watching and just seeing, like, the pure athleticism of these guys. Running, kicking, catching, tackling, all of them just incredible athletes. It's amazing. I'm surprised. Yes.

[Will Arnett]

Wow. Hey. So I'm still. Still just in awe of your. Just general manhood and exposure to elements and things like that. So down there in Australia, you got the snakes, you got the spiders, you got the sharks. When you're. When you're surfing, did you ever. Have you ever seen a dorsal fin? And when you were out back just running around with your motorcycles and pop guns and shit, did you ever see any of the snakes or spiders or things like that?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. When I first moved to Byron Bay, there was a string of shark attacks. Two deaths, and then one guy survived in the space of two weeks. One out the front of my house and one 10 minutes south of me and five minutes north. And I was like, where have I moved to? What have I done? This is crazy. And then. So for the next.

[Will Arnett]

Still paddling out.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah. When there was other people in the water. So there was your chances. Your odds were a little better. But no, there was a period when there would just be choppers, helicopters going up and down the coastline and just like, shark spotting. And then they'd have a siren on because there was, for whatever reason, just this kind of feeding friends.

[Will Arnett]

Oh, that's how they do it. So they. They fly above, and then if they see one, there's a little. There's a little siren from the helicopter,

[Chris Hemsworth]

or they tell the police, and the police would come down with a big speaker and tell you to get out of the water. And. And everyone would sort of sit there and not get out the water. And as each guy starts paddling and it's like, all right, fine, fine, we'll go in. Right, Right.

[Will Arnett]

These aren't sand sharks. The only kind of shark they've got down there are the big daddies. Right?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah, they're bullsharks and great white bites, the most predominant.

[Sean Hayes]

No, thanks.

[Will Arnett]

What about the snakes? You saw snakes?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Heaps of snakes. Yeah, yeah, a lot of like king.

[Sean Hayes]

Heaps of snakes.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Heaps of snakes. King brown. Like all the brown snakes, which is, you know, you've got kind of 15 minutes if you get the anti venom in you before yet.

[Will Arnett]

Yeah. And the brown spider is also like the most venom.

[Chris Hemsworth]

The red back spider is. And then what's the brown spider?

[Sean Hayes]

Physically pulling his shirt down. You have an anxiety attack.

[Will Arnett]

I gotta hang up.

[Chris Hemsworth]

I mean, we see a lot of snakes around our house, but also a lot of big pythons. And the pythons are really territorial and keep the bad ones away. And so you kind of. You want those ones around.

[Will Arnett]

Python. Python is not bad. What are you?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Pythons? No, they're not. They're not venomous, but they're. But they're very territorial with, with the brown snakes and the red belly black snakes and the ones that are nasty and so we don't mind having.

[Sean Hayes]

The pythons aren't looking to mess you up. They're not looking to attack.

[Chris Hemsworth]

No. I mean, you can. My kids will go and grab them by the tail sometimes and.

[Jason Bateman]

No, no way.

[Will Arnett]

How do they do their killing if they don't have the venom? Do they. They just. They're squeezers.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah, squeeze it.

[Chris Hemsworth]

But yeah, like marsh and rats and they'll just, they'll just swallow.

[Jason Bateman]

Squeezers. Squeezes. Wait, go back, wait.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Meet your mate Matt Damon. The first time he was asking me all these questions before they came out.

[Will Arnett]

Oh, that bitch. He won't even.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And he literally. Right. I was like, ah, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine. The first day he drives down the street, gets out of a car and steps straight on a snake. I've been there 42 years and never stepped on a snake. And I mean, this guy, this guy was a dummy. He's a dummy.

[Will Arnett]

What did the angel do? The angel buy him himself a pair of boots immediately after, right up to the hip.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And a helmet, gloves, a pair of white.

[Jason Bateman]

Oh, my God. Wait, Chris, go back to the. Go back to the water for a second with the sharks. Do you still go in the water?

[Will Arnett]

Sure he does.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Oh, yeah, I surf every day. I mean, people. It's. People still surf. It's. Again, it's like all the statistics you hear.

[Will Arnett]

But get hit by lightning.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Hit by lightning or driving a car is worse. And I heard one that more people die in America shaking a vending machine trying to get chocolate or whatever and collapsing on them. Now, I don't know if that's true, but it's Sean.

[Sean Hayes]

Sean's got a vending machine story.

[Will Arnett]

He almost got cut to cut to ribbons with an exploding glass door there at Chin Chin when they were closed too early, right?

[Jason Bateman]

I eat a lot of junk food, Chris. So wait a minute.

[Sean Hayes]

You know what I love about the Avengers crew? You guys all seem to be having a good time, don't they? Every time I see you guys, of course, you and Robert and all the whole crew, you guys are all just yucking it up. And it kind of, it's kind of fun.

[Chris Hemsworth]

It's a good group. It's a good group. And I think, you know, everyone had come into it expecting kind of nothing. And it was right at the beginning of, I guess, a sort of superhero emergence. And each time one of them worked, it was a win for the others and their individual films. But then when the Avengers worked, we're like, oh, I'm gonna make a second one and a third one, the fourth one. So everyone's kind of pinching themselves that we're still here and it's still working.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

[Chris Hemsworth]

And just a good group of people. Just such a fun people.

[Jason Bateman]

You deserve it, pal.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Thank you.

[Will Arnett]

You really do great films.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Thank you.

[Sean Hayes]

You do.

[Jason Bateman]

Chris Hemsworth, what a pleasure.

[Will Arnett]

Thanks for chatting with us today. Mr.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Thank you.

[Sean Hayes]

When is crime 101? What's the, what's the release?

[Jason Bateman]

It's already out.

[Sean Hayes]

It's already out?

[Chris Hemsworth]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Will Arnett]

When did it come out, Sean?

[Jason Bateman]

It came out. Wait, I have it.

[Chris Hemsworth]

February 13th or February 20th.

[Jason Bateman]

February, yeah. February 13th.

[Sean Hayes]

February 13th.

[Chris Hemsworth]

No, it's great. It's a, it's a character driven crime thriller, you know, and it's, it has a beautiful sort of suspense, a suspense with. Through the action, but also through the dramatic scenes. And the way Bart's crafted this movie. It's edgier seat, pulse pounding from start to finish.

[Sean Hayes]

Sick cast as well. I mean, the.

[Jason Bateman]

I'll just say one of the greatest. Halle Berry. You go ahead.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Barry Keegan, Mark Ruffalo, Monica Barbaro, Nick Nolte, phenomenal cast, but it's sort of a throwback to the heist films, 70s, 80s, 90s, but has a contemporary feel to it. But it really cool.

[Will Arnett]

I'm seeing it this, but I just

[Jason Bateman]

have to say now that I've seen it and I'm a big fan of the movie and of course you, that I won't reveal anything, but when that one character gets in the car, well,

[Will Arnett]

it's kind of a rude.

[Jason Bateman]

That's all I'll say. I mean, that was really cool. No, I mean. Well, you don't know where. You don't know where. When part of the movie. I'm talking when one.

[Sean Hayes]

That one character.

[Jason Bateman]

You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, Yeah. I was like, whoa, that's pretty cool. I was on the edge of my seat.

[Sean Hayes]

I'm still.

[Jason Bateman]

Anyway, Chris, thanks so, so much for being here.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Thanks for having me, Chris.

[Will Arnett]

Thank you. Sure. Amanda would say hi if she was here, and maybe I'll make it to the next one.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Please do, mate.

[Will Arnett]

I hope.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Thanks, guys. All right. Good to see. Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

[Jason Bateman]

[Sean Hayes]

[Sean Hayes]

I mean, this is. This is a great guy. First of all, great guy.

[Will Arnett]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I think big star. He was great. I don't know.

[Sean Hayes]

Big star, Big star.

[Jason Bateman]

Huge star.

[Sean Hayes]

Big star. And, and yet so grounded, as you know. You know him a little bit. I, I hung out with him for a couple days. What a good dude.

[Will Arnett]

Humble, kind.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, my God.

[Jason Bateman]

Wait, what's 26 minus 11?

[Will Arnett]

Boy, that's. That's definitely gonna be something. Honestly, somewhere around 15.

[Sean Hayes]

Honestly did that. That actually came out.

[Jason Bateman]

15 years. So he's been playing. He's been playing Thor for 15 years. That's a. Okay, that's a lot.

[Sean Hayes]

I want to go back to the math question because I'm.

[Will Arnett]

So, Is this worthy of recording? Sean, you know, we're on right now.

[Jason Bateman]

Always.

[Sean Hayes]

I'd say cut it, but I need the world to hear that.

[Will Arnett]

This is our life, guys.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

Okay. Welcome to it, listener. This is, this is, you know, it's free to you, but it costs us a great deal and just, you know, time, patience.

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah, He's. He's. Yeah. 15 years as Thor and then all this other stuff in between.

[Jason Bateman]

How about. How about I threw you guys at the beginning when I said it was Kirk's dad?

[Sean Hayes]

Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

Great job, Sean.

[Sean Hayes]

I mean, it's sick. Sick. What a burn.

[Will Arnett]

I was like, fuck, what an unreal burn.

[Sean Hayes]

This guy. He's unbelievable.

[Will Arnett]

Breast pump information.

[Chris Hemsworth]

Press pump information.

[Jason Bateman]

Right.

[Will Arnett]

No, that is that. I, I, I'm, I'm. Now, I, I got to join my wife on some of these. Some of These.

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah. By the way, I want to know what. What all that is. Hey, guys, when you have. Yeah.

[Sean Hayes]

Oh, that's it. You're right into it, huh?

[Jason Bateman]

Yeah.

[Will Arnett]

One more wrap up.

[Jason Bateman]

No.

[Sean Hayes]

Shy.
