Chris Hemsworth Talks Thor and More in Men's Health

So, the early reviews are in, and apparently Thor is indeed awesome. Star Chris Hemsworth, who did so much working out in preparation for the role that at some point he became "too ripped for his costume" spoke with Men's Health magazine about the film, his life, and, of course, health and fitness.

Here are a few highlights from the interview:

On his role models, including Anthony Hopkins:
“Anthony Hopkins. His whole approach to this business, his work ethic and attitude on set was inspiring, however many films down the track he still has that and he still is excited to be there and treats everyone as equals and everything he does, he is an impressive person.  I love Paul Giamatti, Johnny Depp, Al Pacino and Matt Damon, ya know, I could go on and on.”
 
On fearlessly searching caves in Australia as a kid:
“We built wooden swords and hammered nails into them, and we checked out the cave. My friends and I were convinced we’d meet some ghosts and devils.”
 
On why he loves being an actor:
“I always loved film, but never thought about it as a career choice. I had a different idea of what I wanted to do professionally every week. You know, I was a lawyer one week, a doctor, a sportsman in some way, and then I found out I can pretend to do all those things in acting.”

The May issue of Men's Health hits stands tomorrow (April 19).
