Chris Hemsworth is a successful actor and caring family man. But the path to success was a long and difficult one. Indeed, not everyone is ready to overcome more than 12 thousand kilometers in order to achieve their goal.
Childhood
Chris Hemsworth was born on August 11, 1983 in the Australian city of Melbourne. Chris was not the only child in the family; he has older and younger brothers. Despite the fact that Chris was born in the second largest city on the continent, his childhood was partly spent in the small farming town of Bulman, whose population is about 300 people.
And when the boy was 14 years old, the whole family moved to the island of Philip. Due to frequent travels, Chris’s education was very steep. In his new place of residence, Hemsworth quickly found a hobby: after studying, he spent whole days surfing. However, all the brothers had one dream for three: to become famous actors.
Actor's career
When Hemsworth turned 18, then after his elder brother, he began to participate in many auditions. And after a year of difficult searches, the young man’s television debut took place. He got the role of a minor character in a series called Gwen Jones. In the same 2002, Chris appeared in an episode of the television series "Neighbors."
More and more often, actors began to call for shooting in various series, where he was offered only episodic roles. At some point, the young man decided that he was tired of acting in episodes. Then he went to the casting in the series "Home and On the Road", where he claimed the main role. However, the producers and the director of the project had already found the main actor by that time, so Hemsworth was offered only a secondary role. The guy with difficulty agreed to participate and during the filming he moved to the largest city on the continent - Sydney.
He could not imagine what kind of work in this series he would receive the first Loki award in his career. It was a breakthrough in his work.
Nevertheless, despite this success, Chris makes a firm decision for himself to leave Australia for the USA, because he believed that he had reached the “ceiling” in the Australian film industry. Thus, in 2007 he moved to Los Angeles. Being in a country unfamiliar to himself, the young man understands that at first it makes no sense to hope for the main roles. First, it was required to establish itself as a supporting actor.
The first role in America went to him as part of the box office film Star Trek. Then in his arsenal appeared such films as "Big Money" and "Perfect Escape."
The turning point in the acting career of men was the first major role in the film "Thor", which was released in 2011. After this project, the Australian actually no longer starred in episodic roles.
The filmography of the Australian actor has about 30 different television and film projects. In 2019, at least 3 films with the participation of Hemsworth will be released, including: Avengers 4, Men in Black and Dhaka.
