Chris Hemsworth's face is known around the world,
but what's Marvel's God of Thunder really like in his off-hours?
Despite being a brooding superhero on screen, Chris Hemsworth has a reputation for being a
total sweetheart behind the scenes. Although his hunky physique commands attention in his famous
role of Thor, Hemsworth is a devoted husband and father of three who prefers to keep a low profile.
An interview with GQ Australia in 2018 revealed how humble the "Avengers" actor really is,
when he opened up about being uncomfortable about his fortune.
Hemsworth told the publication, quote, "I feel gross about it."
Recalling a time growing up in Australia when
he saved up for a whole year to buy a surfboard, he said,
"It taught me so many lessons about appreciation and working hard for
something. When I think about my kids, I don't want them to miss that joy."
Hemsworth shared that he and his wife Elsa Pataky,
try to lead their children away from a privileged life.
Hemsworth's wealth has led him to do some pretty generous things for
others in his years as a movie star, including picking up a hitchhiker for
a ride in a helicopter while travelling in Australia with his fitness trainer.
The hitchhiker, a musician named Scott Hildebrand, spoke to E! News about the favor, saying,
"The experience was so cool and unexpected.
They're so nice and I couldn't believe it was happening."
Hemsworth's down-to-earth nature has once again
been brought to the spotlight since a viral TikTok from an LAX employee
confirmed what we all suspected about Hemsworth when he's not in front of the camera.
According to a former employee of Los Angeles International Airport,
Marvel star Chris Hemsworth "was really polite to everybody" when he was traveling. Cindy,
who says she was an airline customer service representative, made a TikTok in which she rated
celebrities she encountered based on their demeanor during her interactions with them.
While she described other stars like Kendall Jenner and Nicki Minaj being snobby at the
airport, the opposite was true of Thor. Cindy revealed in her video that he was on
first-name basis with the staff – and was also, unsurprisingly, incredibly handsome in person.
The creator behind the viral TikTok about Chris Hemsworth's sweet airport behavior isn't the first
regular netizen to gush about the movie star's kind ways. One Redditor also had a run-in with
Hemsworth at the Los Angeles airport and left with an amazing memory. They recalled in 2018,
"When I was flying out of LAX a couple years ago, he was in front of me and nobody noticed. We took
a picture together when I saw him again in one of the airport bookstores. He was really nice!"
Donna Biroczky, author of the "Dangerous Cupcake Lifestyle" family blog,
detailed her unforgettable experience with Hemsworth when the "Avengers" actor did
a press junket for his military drama film "12 Strong" in 2018.
Hemsworth led a roundtable chat with female writers from Army families and Biroczky called
the opportunity a "dream come true" to spend time with the easy-going star. She wrote,
"​​Chris Hemsworth is as amazing as I knew he would be. Kind, thoughtful,
funny, genuine, his respect for the military came through loud and clear."
The blogger added that he was as charismatic as she expected he would be,
and that when he smiled, the whole room stopped to take it in. Now that's what we call star power
It's not uncommon for fame to go to actors' heads,
turning them into the kind of people you wouldn't want to be around. Chris Hemsworth
once voiced his concern about getting lost in the Hollywood mix to Vanity Fair, saying,
"You just kind of lose touch with reality a bit here. You drive down the street and you're
constantly reminded of everything you're either involved in or not involved in. It's exhausting."
While the spotlight leads some stars to the point of rudeness,
that couldn't be further from the truth when it comes to Hemsworth – according to some of
his co-stars, anyway. The cast of Hemsworth's 2016 film "Ghostbusters" vouched for the actor
as not just another pretty face, with Melissa McCarthy saying on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show,"
"He's so nice and he's so funny, like — it's too much!"
"Thor: Ragnarok" star Tessa Thompson, who has worked with Hemsworth on multiple films,
likewise sung his praises in an interview with ET. She said,
"I like everything, pretty much, about Chris Hemsworth. As an actor ... he's
incredibly gifted at comedy and actually, at everything."
Hemsworth's "Men In Black: International" co-star spoke highly of not only his talents,
but also Hemsworth's demeanor as a co-star, saying
"When he comes on to a set, he knows everybody's names,
he makes everybody happy just by being there. That's really something that is very, very rare."
