Aussie actor looks absolutely jacked in new workout video
Aussie movie star Chris Hemsworth looks fitter than ever in an intense new workout video he shared to Instagram overnight.
The 41-year-old actor posted videos of his backyard training regimen, a high-intensity kickboxing workout, which he dubbed 'a little Avengers pre-game warm up.'
Hemsworth is about to reprise his role as Thor in the next Avengers movie, titled Doomsday, which began filming in recent days.
Set for release in May next year, this next Avengers film will be the fifth instalment in the series, following 2019's Avengers: Endgame.
Hemsworth leads a cast that will include Paul Rudd, Pedro Pascal, Sebastian Stan and Vanessa Kirby in an all-star line-up, as the Avengers, Wakandans, Fantastic Four, New Avengers, and 'original' X-Men team up to face Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr.
While he regularly keeps fans updated on his workout regime, Hemsworth has said in the past that there's a downside to being so jacked.
In a 2021 interview with the UK's Telegraph, he said he'd be taken more seriously as an actor if he wasn't such a keen bodybuilder.
'There is an aesthetic that the role requires. Bodybuilding is seen as vanity, whereas if I gained a lot of weight that would harm my health or become skinny for a role, it would probably be called a serious actor,' he told the outlet.
In the same interview, Hemsworth confessed he'd previously 'overtrained' his body in a quest for perfection.
'For years I probably overtrained. People who do muscle-building often don't realise it's a sport that shouldn't be seven days a week, two hours a day. I was doing that in the previous Thors and was coming up sorer, with less energy,' he said.
Hemsworth's longtime personal trainer and childhood friend Luke Zocchi, previously gave some insight into the actor's gruelling pre-Thor training regimen.
He told Page Six in 2021 that it all comes down to 'consistency, hard work and also eating the right foods'.
One of the Avengers star's main challenges when it comes to bulking up is consuming enough to fuel his body.
'When we go into prep for movies like Thor, it's a massive increase in food,' Zocchi said. 'He eats, like, six to eight meals a day.'

Iconic Australian migrant story returns to the stage
Stephen Nicolazzo felt like throwing away his culture as a kid but is now using it to bring an Aussie classic to the national stage. Born of Melina Marchetta's iconic 1992 book and award-winning film starring Pia Miranda, Looking for Alibrandi the stage show has embarked on a first national tour. The story follows feisty protagonist Josie Alibrandi as she navigates her final year at a prestigious Catholic girls' school in Sydney. Along the way she finds her father, falls in love and grapples with her identity as a third-generation Italian growing up in Australia. It's an experience Nicolazzo shared as the grandson of Italian migrants. In primary school, the now 38-year-old was embarrassed to pronounce Italian words his classmates struggled with. "You want to throw away your culture and your ethnicity when you're younger because of all of the pressures of being discriminated against," he told AAP. "That's a really strange feeling because you lock away a part of yourself as a result of the pressures of expectation." The lived experience of young Australians from Italian cultures has improved over the past 30 years. "But there are many other migrants who have come to this country since the book was written," Nicolazzo said. "They're experiencing the same discrimination and tensions that Josie faced." The production highlights important issues of acceptance and tolerance, and is relatable to a wide audience. Nicolazzo points to the story's universal recognition of concepts like having to deal with over-bearing family members or being spoken to in a certain way. "The people that watch it are sobbing and laughing because there's a familiarity to it that goes beyond nostalgia," he said. The show first graced Sydney and Melbourne stages in 2022 and has since undergone script changes to enrich one of Jose's love interests, John Barton. "The audience is getting the best version of the show, which is five years in the making," Nicolazzo said. Three new cast members have also joined the fold, including 23-year-old graduate Riley Warner, who plays Josie's knockabout boyfriend Jacob Cootes. The rising star is debuting in his first stage show, having met Nicolazzo as a student. "There's something about him that feels like a national audience needs to see him right away," Nicolazzo said. The show next appears in Sydney on June 11 before heading across NSW, Victoria and South Australia. Nicolazzo hopes audience members take one key message from his production. "It's about finding freedom from the shackles of a culture that doesn't want you to be a part of It," he said. "That's a hard thing to do but we can only do it by making art and talking to people."
