Chris Hemsworth is trying again on his Thor: Love and Thunder efficiency with regret. The 40-year-old Marvel Cinematic Universe hero criticized his on-screen portrayal throughout a brand new interview as a “parody” of himself.
“I got caught up in the improv and the wackiness, and I became a parody of myself,” Chris informed Vanity Fair in an interview revealed on Tuesday, April 30. “I didn’t stick the landing.”
While reflecting on his 2022 movie, Chris admitted that at this level in his profession, he had “been trying to muscle and beat things into existence for so long, out of obsession and desperation to build this career, and I was just exhausted.”
“I was worried about everything,” he confessed. “Nothing was as enjoyable as it once was, or I had imagined it was. I was making back-to-back movies and doing the press tours, and I was married and had three young kids, and it was all happening at the same time in a very short window.”
Chris shares his children, daughter India and sons Sasha and Tristan, along with his spouse, Elsa Pataky. Further into his interview, the Thor franchise star supplied extra context into his mindset on the time that Love and Thunder was launched.
“You’re sort of just running on fumes, and then you’re showing up to something with little in the tank and you start to pick things apart,” he stated, earlier than operating via the questions he had requested himself. “Why am I doing this film? Why isn’t this script better? Why didn’t that director call me for that or why didn’t I get considered for this role? Why don’t I get the call-up from [Martin] Scorsese or [Quentin] Tarantino? I had begun to take it all too serious and too personal.”
Admittedly, Chris added, his thoughts would begin racing with self-doubt, which impacted his moments with relations and buddies.
“My mum would come over for a cup of coffee, and she would have to snap her fingers, and go, ‘Chris, where are ya? Come on, I’m here,’” he famous. “The chatter in my head got so intense — and then the sense of guilt that every time I’d leave a dinner with parents or a friend, I’d say, ‘God, I wasn’t even there. I just spent the time bitching or complaining.’ There’s a narcissism to it. How many more years are we going to have this conversation? Like, just shut up, Chris.”
