Liam Hemsworth – ‘Thor’
The brothers Chris and Liam initially auditioned for Thor. The people at the studio were actually looking elsewhere for the right actor to play the role and were even considering Liam for it. Chris was, at that time, shooting another movie, Cabin in the Woods, when Joss Whedon and Andrew Goddard asked him why he was not on the list of the top 5 actors considered for the role and informed him further that his brother Liam was on it. Chris just said that maybe he blew up his audition.
However, none of the 5 guys, including Liam, ended up with the part, spurring his manager to request for another audition by saying, “You know, he’s (Liam’s) got an older brother, can we bring him back in?’’ That was how Chris got a second audition in a hotel room in Vancouver. The fun thing was that Chris’ mother read the part of Anthony Hopkins. The rest is history, as we now see Chris playing the role of Thor in the past 7 years. Liam, on the other hand, went on to star in the Hunger Games series and Independence Day: Resurgence, among others.
