- [Interviewer] Are you a better action hero
than this person?
- Uh oh, hang on.
[laughs] Hang on.
I don't, I don't like saying these things.
- [Interviewer] Chris, we've brought you here today
to take a lie detector test.
- Hm.
I feel like I'm in prison.
[machine clicking and buzzing]
- Wrap this around your chest.
[somber music]
- [Interviewer] Are you ready?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] I'm gonna ask you a few questions.
- Okay.
- [Interviewer] To get a baseline for the machine.
Please answer honestly.
Is your name Christopher Hemsworth?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Are you from Melbourne, Australia?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Have you been called the sexiest man alive?
- [laughs] Yes.
- [Interviewer] Okay then, let's start with your life.
You've said your kids have criticized your movies.
Are you offended by their harsh critiques?
- No.
What did it say?
- That is true.
- True, good. [laughs]
- [Interviewer] What's the most critical thing
they've said about your movies?
- The most critical thing they've said.
I can't remember specifics.
I've seen them walk out of my movies.
Yeah, just get bored and walk away.
- [Interviewer] Ouch.
Your daughter made her acting debut
in Thor: Love and Thunder.
Did she have to audition for the role?
- She did.
I had to, it was my idea that she would,
that she could be in the film.
And then so, I filmed her on my iPhone
reading a bunch of the lines.
And then I sent it to Taika and the people at Marvel.
- [Interviewer] Would you do another movie together?
- Yeah.
I sort of, that was, when she did that film,
originally she was supposed to have a whole bunch
of prosthetics and so on, and I thought, oh yeah, it's good.
I don't wanna have her face up there
on the screen at this age.
And then the character changed,
and she didn't have all that, those prosthetics.
And then I sort of, with my wife and I had
that conversation about,
do we want her to be on the screen yet?
And so on.
And got a bit nervous about it all.
And then she's asked me to do,
she wants to be in more films and act more.
And we just said maybe wait a few years.
So, but one day for sure, I'd love to.
Love spending time with her,
so I'd love to do a film with her, yeah.
- [Interviewer] So she must be in Furiosa, right?
- She is not, no.
- [Interviewer] Oh.
- [laughs] I wanna know what's going on,
is it all working?
Is it telling you
that I don't like my daughter or something? [laughs]
'Cause I do, the machine's wrong.
- [Interviewer] Speaking of family,
your older brother said growing up you all fought so much
it was like the Hemsworth house of horrors.
So were you the troublemaker?
- One of.
One of three.
Was I the main troublemaker?
Maybe?
- [Interviewer] Is it because you have middle child energy?
- I think so.
- That is true.
- Damn it.
- [Interviewer] Are you the favorite?
- [laughs] Yes.
- [Reviewer] Also truthful.
- Sorry.
Am I the favorite?
Oh, that's hilarious.
I mean, I think I am, yeah.
Sorry, Luke, sorry, Liam.
Machine doesn't lie.
There's so much truth this thing exploded off my chest.
- [Reviewer] That's exactly what happened.
- [Interviewer] Is it true that you were
really good friends with this person?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Is he as good at surfing as you?
- No.
- [Interviewer] What about skiing?
- Oh no, he's a much better skier.
I snowboard, he skis.
But he's much better on the mountain than I am.
- [Interviewer] Is your friendship
just going on cool trips together?
- No.
- [Interviewer] Who usually picks up the bill?
- I'd say we split it.
- The machine is detecting some deception.
- Well hang on, lemme just clarify.
He's very good at getting the bill first,
but I certainly offer to pay, or attempt to pay.
And he's very good at getting there first. [laughs]
- That is true. - That is true?
Yeah, there we go.
Doesn't mean I didn't try.
- [Interviewer] You are one of
the Met Gala co-chairs this year.
Would you consider yourself a fashionable person?
- No.
Do I think they made a mistake?
Yes.
- [Interviewer] So are you pretty nervous?
- A little bit, yeah.
- [Interviewer] Do you think your past red carpets
have prepared you for the role?
- Yeah, that's what I'm gonna wear.
What am I wearing?
I'm wearing flip flops on a red carpet.
Just breaking all the rules.
Fashion icon.
- [Interviewer] Let's move on to your career.
You were on Dancing with the Stars Australia.
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Is this something you are proud of?
- Not really.
- [Interviewer] Is it because you didn't win?
- No, I just kind of felt like a fool.
But I needed the money.
And it got me, it gave me enough money to come to LA.
- [Interviewer] Would you ever appear on
the American version of Dancing with the Stars?
- No, no.
It's nothing against the show,
it's just I'm not a very good dancer.
- [Interviewer] Would you ever do another reality show?
- No, no.
Documentary style shows, sure.
But not like a reality show.
Little sideways glance.
- [Interviewer] Is it true that this person
auditioned for your role in Thor?
- Yes, he did.
Yep.
- [Interviewer] Were you worried he'd get it over you?
- No, 'cause I wasn't,
I was told I didn't have the part at that point,
so I was excited for him.
A little jealous maybe, but I was excited for him.
Then when I was allowed to re-audition,
it was when he was outta the picture.
So we never were neck and neck.
It was either, I was involved then wasn't,
and he was involved then wasn't, then I was involved.
- He's being truthful.
- This is terrifying, this game.
- [Interviewer] Is there a role of his
that you wish was yours?
- No, no.
- [Interviewer] Not even The Last Song?
- [laughs] The Last Song.
No.
The world would've been,
his life would be very different, wouldn't it?
- [Reviewer] It's inconclusive, actually.
- What?
Do I wanna be in The Last Song?
No.
What's it say?
- [Reviewer] That's inconclusive.
- [Interviewer] Have you ever pretended to be him?
- Yes.
When someone's come up and said, Liam, can I have a photo?
He did it too, actually.
The first premier I went to for Star Trek,
I came out, and a few people come up and got photos.
And he just looked at me and went, no worries, sure.
'Cause they thought he was me.
- [Interviewer] Is it true that your wife stepped in
for this person during a Thor kissing scene?
- She did, yeah.
So Natalie wasn't there,
and we were doing re-shoots, we were in Hong Kong.
And they had brought in a handful of lovely ladies
who were potentially gonna be the stand-in for Jane.
And then I said, my wife just landed,
why don't we just get her?
- [Interviewer] Did you request to kiss your wife
instead of Natalie?
- I did.
- [Interviewer] Is it because you knew
it would be a good story to talk about on talk shows?
- I knew it would make a great Vanity Fair
lie detector test question.
I don't know if I've told it on a talk show.
I just knew she was a good kisser, so.
- That is true.
- [Interviewer] You have worked as
the global ambassador of tourism for Australia.
Did you enjoy that job?
- Yeah.
I got to go on a bunch of trips
around Australia, and travel around,
and see some really cool places.
- [Interviewer] So you clearly have
a lot of Australian pride.
- Yeah.
Australian pride, yeah.
I mean, yeah, as in, yeah.
Yeah, sometimes.
What did that say?
- [Interviewer] Is this movie your favorite film?
- Is this movie my favorite film?
No.
I love Baz Luhrmann.
It's not my favorite film.
Nothing against the film.
I have other films that are my favorite.
- [Interviewer] Do you clap at this person's AMC ads?
- What's, I don't even know, what's AMC?
- A movie theater chain. - Oh.
I haven't even seen her in an AMC ad.
I clap at this person though.
- [Interviewer] Let's move on to pop culture.
You've said you don't consider yourself an action hero.
Is that true?
- No, I mean, I play action heroes,
but I'm not sure what that means.
What do you...
I like to think I have more to offer
than just being an action hero.
Maybe that's it.
- [Interviewer] What makes a good action hero?
- The individuals that I watch kinda
in the action hero space have a great amount of charisma.
There's athleticism.
And they're solid actors too, you know.
- [Interviewer] Are you a better action hero than...
- Uh oh, hang on.
- [Interviewer] This person?
- [laughs] Hang on.
I don't, I don't like saying these things. [laughs]
Am I better in what way?
What do you mean, what do you mean? [laughs]
Oh, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
He is a good action hero.
He's a great action hero.
Am I a better action hero is the question?
Oh, I don't know, god.
Come on, this gets, this is gonna get dissected,
and pulled apart, and he's gonna dissect me.
I think he's a good action hero.
That's, we answered that.
Who is better is what I refuse to answer,
on the grounds that it may incriminate me.
Would I wear that suit?
No. - That is true.
[Chris laughs]
- [Interviewer] This person?
- What about this guy?
I love him.
Two great action heroes.
Would I kick both their asses?
Yes.
- That is truthful.
- That is in real life though, fellas.
So, I love 'em both.
I went snowboarding with him at Christmas time.
He's a better snowboarder than me.
Doesn't wear a helmet either.
Dangerous.
- [Interviewer] The world already knows about
your Avengers group chat.
So, is it still active?
- Yes.
- Do you ever put it on mute?
- No.
- That is a lie.
[Chris laughs]
- I never put it on mute.
Have I ever put the Avengers chat on mute?
No.
- [Reviewer] Inconclusive.
Still giving deception.
- The machine's broken.
Can I fly?
Yes.
What'd it say?
- Inconclusive. - Hang on.
Can I fly?
Yes, I can fly.
- Inconclusive.
- God damn it!
And by the end of this interview, I can fly.
- [Interviewer] Right.
If the chat is still active, did you all discuss Madame Web?
- No.
- He's telling the truth.
- I haven't seen Madame Web, so I couldn't discuss it.
- [Interviewer] Is it safe to say you're a huge fan of...
- I'm getting nervous now.
- [Interviewer] This person?
- Oh yes.
- [Interviewer] How many times have you seen him in concert?
- Three.
Twice in the same weekend. [laughs]
- [Interviewer] Do you think that's a little much.
- I mean, you'll have to ask him.
No, not at all.
I'm a supportive friend and fan.
- [Interviewer] How many more concerts
before it gets creepy?
- I think it might be at the creepy stage, right?
How many more times before it's really creepy?
Like 50.
- That's inconclusive. - 10.
- [Reviewer] He's telling the truth.
- [Interviewer] If you're such a big fan of Ed's,
can you tell me how this lyric ends?
A club isn't the best place to find a lover so...
- I don't know the lyrics no. [humming]
I mean, I like him, I like his music.
I don't know all the words.
See, I'm not a creepy fan, am I?
- [Interviewer] Would you see this person
that many times in concert?
- Three, yeah.
I've never seen her any times in concert.
But I would if she invited me.
But she didn't.
- [Interviewer] Okay, final question.
Did you lie at any point during this lie detector test
and we didn't catch you?
- Did I, I can't remember.
I don't think so.
I told the truth once and it said I was a liar.
But, one more question.
Ask me if I can fly.
Go, come on.
- [Interviewer] Can you fly?
- Yeah.
- He's being deceptive.
- God damn it.
Hang on, one more time, one more time, one more time.
Go.
- Can you fly? - Yes.
- Detecting deception.
- God, stop it.
Can I fly?
Yes.
God damn it.
Damn it, okay, okay, okay.
