Im-pec-cable
Chris Hemsworth is struggling with his body image—which is to say, his body has an amazing image, and he's kinda struggling with that. "It's helped me get a job, sure," he says, folding his gigantic Australian arms behind his head as if he might do a few stomach crunches. "But you hope it's not the only thing that helped." Hemsworth has good reason to worry. This summer he's appeared hyperbuff and sweat-slicked in The Avengers (reprising his role as Thor) and in Snow White and the Huntsman. To nail his Huntsman character—"a lost soul and a drunk"—he went quasi-Method, spinning around in circles before shooting his boozing scenes. That's when he discovered how much he likes a good twirl. "It really shakes everything up, and you feel a bit more alive," he says. "I actually started spinning in circles before the scenes where I didn't need to be drunk." He's witnessed stranger rituals: "I worked with a guy once who would chant, I'm beautiful and I have a secret, I'm beautiful and I have a secret." Please let it have been Mark Ruffalo.
Some say Americans are the only ones who wear underwear in public. But if you find the right fit—a thin neckline and a sleeve that falls just above the biceps—you'll silence the haters.
The pictures are lame, and not because he has clothes on. They're just boring photos. And that hair is fail. It should either be cut or worn in some style that is actually flattering.
