Who Is Chris Hemsworth?

Chris Hemsworth is an actor from Melbourne, Australia, who was born on 11th August 1983. His parents are father Craig Hemsworth – a social-services counsellor – and mother Leonie Hemsworth (neé van Os) – an English teacher. Chris has an older brother Luke Hemsworth and a younger brother Liam Hemsworth. Both Liam and Luke Hemsworth are also actors.

Being a true Aussie, Chris was brought up between both the city of Melbourne and the Outback of the Northern Territory. Perhaps it was this upbringing that gave him the toughened mentality required to play hard-hitting characters such as Thor and Tyler Rake in Extraction.

Acting Career

Home and Away

Chris Hemsworth began his acting career on Australian television and, after a few appearances on the likes of Guinevere Jones and Neighbours, Chris was eventually cast as Kim Hyde in the Australian soap opera, Home and Away. He ultimately appeared in 171 episodes and left the cast in 2007.

Thor

Chris Hemsworth as Thor

After a few more minor roles, Chris was cast as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His first appearance as the Norse God of Thunder was in the first Thor movie, released in 2011. The rest, as they say, is history. Chris reprised the role of Thor in The Avengers film franchise, two more Thor movies: ‘The Dark World’ and ‘Ragnarok’, along with the most recent release, Thor: Love & Thunder. Both the latest movie and Thor: Ragnarok, were directed by New Zealand director, Taika Waititi.

Other Hollywood Success

Aside from his role as Thor, Chris Hemsworth has racked up several other successful acting credits. These include portraying the late British Formula 1 racing driver James Hunt, in Ron Howard’s 2013 move, Rush – which happens to one of the best movies on Netflix right now – along with the horror movie The Cabin in the Woods, and Snow White and the Huntsmen.

Chris was also cast in the all-female remake of Ghostbusters and while Chris’ performance was well-received, the movie as a whole was ultimately considered a little unnecessary.

Chris has also appeared as lead character Tyler Rake in the Netflix action movies Extraction, and its upcoming sequel, Extraction 2.

How much did Chris Hemsworth get paid for Thor?

He is said to have received $20 million for Thor: Love and Thunder. However, he is also said to have earned ‘just’ $150,000 for the first Thor movie. His earnings for the second and third Thor movies are estimated to be $37 million and $30 million, respectively, but these include back-end points (a percentage of the profits from the movie’s earnings).

How much did Chris Hemsworth make for Avengers Endgame?

Of course, Chris Hemsworth also received rather large payouts for his appearances in The Avengers movies. His salary for the final instalment, Avengers: Endgame, is said to have been around $15 million. But, when back-end points were added on, his earnings skyrocketed to an estimated $76.4 million.

It’s a similar story for Avengers: Infinity War, which again saw him take home $15 million in salary earnings, but a total of $64.5 million.
