Would you believe this seemingly impossible comparison? Well this comparison isn’t impossible at all, because both pictures are of beloved actor Chris Hemsworth. This transformation from the God-like figure of Thor to a scrawny and straggly man seems rather impossible. However, Hemsworth found a way to make it happen. This was all thanks to a 500 calorie per day diet and constant exercise.

Just like every actor, Hemsworth caught his one big break in the acting world that would propel him on to be the star he is today. Hemsworth’s break came in the form of superhero Thor. Hemsworth plays the part of Thor who is a god from a different planet who finds himself fighting to protect Earth and those that live there. From there, Thor goes on to become part of a crime fighting group called the Avengers and thus become a seemingly permanent part of Earth. Hemsworth’s muscular build and deep voice play this role to perfection. He seems to dominate the screen when he is shown. All eyes are turned to him, and waiting to see what he will do next. Additionally, he plays the confusion piece of his role very well. He appears as if he has never seen anything from Earth before. Coffee even appears to be this new and amazing thing to him. As an audience, we feel as if this confusion is actually genuine which points to the brilliance in acting.

Other than Thor, Hemsworth has only found small time roles up unto this point. One notable role was that of a computer hacker in Blackhat. Since Hemsworth is an actor, he known very little about computer hacking. However, this is not how it appears in the movie. Hemsworth portrays himself as a computer genius. It seems as if he has been hacking for years of his life. This simple fact is why he is such a great up and coming actor. His acting appears to be so realistic and believable to the audience.

Recently, Hemsworth starred in a movie called In the Heart of the Sea, which is why he had to dramatically lose so much weight. Playing a shipped wrecked sailor doesn’t call for having the body of a god figure. Therefore, Hemsworth had to give up his abs and major muscles in order to make the movie believable. Furthermore, the most amazing part of this all is that he will soon have to repack on the pounds he lost and regain his muscles in preparation for his next sequel to the Thor series.

Overall, Hemsworth is slightly unproven in the acting world today. Outside of Thor, he hasn’t had any major hits. However, the talent and dedication are certainly there. This makes it clear that he is one of the most brilliant and still upcoming actors in Hollywood today.
