He explained, "Bodybuilding is seen as vanity, whereas if I put on a bunch of unhealthy weight, or got unhealthily skinny for a role, I'd probably be called a serious actor."

He continued, "That and then a 12-hour shooting day--it's real grind. It's incredibly rewarding, too--you have to look at it like a professional athlete." Indeed, as the Marvel star explains, "there's an aesthetic that the role requires." After all, Thor is a literal Norse god.

As per E! News, Hemsworth and the rest of the crew have started filming on the fourth installment of the franchise, Thor: Love and Thunder, following a postponement caused by the coronavirus pandemic. He said the nearly five-month delay was for the best, as it gave him more time to prepare for the role.
