Lanky dreamboat Chris Hemsworth shot to fame as Kim Hyde in Australian soft porn TV series “Home And Away” and recently embarked on Hollywood success as Chris Pine’s dad in Star Trek. News just in: Chris has scored the title role in Kenneth Branagh’s Marvel adaptation Thor.

Chris has the right combination of star power and sun damage that often spells success for gravel-voiced Australian actors (cf: Sam Worthington).


Good luck Chris - but I’ll always remember you stripping off your shirt and cradling a baby, fixing a car, hanging out by the beach shirtless in your boardies and so on, on Oz TV (more clips and around ten thousand pics after the jump).
