Chris Hemsworth, the Aussie heartthrob who’s smashed box offices as Thor for over a decade, just spilled a shocking secret: even he gets starstruck. In a candid new interview, the Marvel heavyweight revealed he was downright “intimidated” working alongside a Hollywood legend — and it’s someone who’s also wielded superhero power onscreen.
The actor, known for his easygoing charm, didn’t hold back when asked about his most nerve-wracking co-star. “I walked onto set, saw her, and thought, ‘Oh god, don’t mess this up,’” Hemsworth laughed. The mystery icon? None other than Angelina Jolie, who starred alongside him in 2023’s Thor: Love and Thunder as Thena, her sword-slinging superhero role from Eternals.
“Angelina’s this global icon—actor, director, humanitarian — and she’s got this presence that’s just… powerful,” Hemsworth admitted. “You’re immediately aware you’re in the room with someone who’s changed the game in Hollywood.” He added that Jolie’s dedication left him “shaking” during their scenes. “She’s a force of nature. Every time, she’s 110% in. It pushes you to match that energy, but it’s intimidating!”
Jolie, famously private, apparently broke the ice by ribbing Hemsworth about his Thor muscles. “She joked, ‘Do you even need a stunt double?’” he shared. “After that, we clicked. But still — she’s Angelina Jolie. Legend status.”
Fans are already flooding social media with reactions. One tweeted, “Thor vs. Thena team-up when??” while another wrote, “Chris being nervous is so relatable. Angelina could make anyone sweat!”
Rumors suggest the two might reunite in a future Marvel project, but for now, Hemsworth’s confession proves even superheroes get jitters. As one fan put it: “If Chris Hemsworth gets intimidated, what hope do the rest of us have?”
