Latest Chris Hemsworth News

Chris Hemsworth leans on his younger brother Liam Hemsworth in this sexy new shot from Vanity Fair.

The actor brothers (26 and 19 respectively) were raised in southern Australia and currently reside in California. They both screen tested for the title role of the superhero flick Thor but the part ultimately went to Chris (out Summer 2011).
