Chris Hemsworth Reveals What Wife Elsa Pataky Really Thought About His 'Thor' Body

Chris shared in his video interview that his workouts “came from boredom, sitting in COVID lockdown was like a prison.”

He added that his routine included swimming, martial arts, weights and 6,000 calories a day to reach his goal.

“It was train, eat, train, eat. Nothing else to do. Then I turned up for the film bigger than I’ve ever been,” he revealed.

However, Elsa wasn’t really a fan, and told him it was a bit too much muscle.

“My wife was like, ‘Bleh, it’s too much,’” Chris shared. “There are a lot of my male friends who are like, ‘Yeah!’ but a lot of female friends and family are like, ‘Yuck.’”

He then mentioned that if by chance he returns to the role of Thor, he won’t be working out that much again.

“I was like, ‘Oh, yeeeeah, you’re right,’” Chris says, looking back on just how big he got. “It was one thing to train and eat that much and then sleep all day. Doing this and then a 12-hour set day was something different. It was horrible. I won’t do it again. They can give me a fancy muscle-y costume next time. I’m done.”

Thor: Love & Thunder had a huge opening weekend.
