You know Chris Hemsworth. He\u2019s the Aussie who left Hollywood and moved to Byron Bay<\/a> after finding widespread success in MCU movies<\/a> and projects like the Extraction franchise. He\u2019s also notorious for fitness, thanks to plenty of workout tricks helping him get swole enough <\/a>to play the Marvel character Thor. Since then, he also founded Centr, the official partner of HYROX competitions, and has maintained a physique that should set him up rather well for Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>.<\/p>\n He may be 42, but he\u2019s an extremely fit 42, helped along by a strong diet and commitment to gym time, not to mention the generally high level of activity he maintains<\/a> with his family. All this has led him to look like this:<\/p>\n Credit: YouTube<\/p>\n Oh, and this:<\/p>\n Credit: Chris Hemsworth Instagram<\/p>\n So, it\u2019s no surprise his physique as he hits middle age has been a topic of online discussion. One X user<\/a> recently highlighted his swoleness and commented, \u201cChris Hemsworth\u2019s body at 42 years old, what\u2019s your excuse?\u201d Of course, that was a pretty troll-esque way of garnering attention, but it worked. There were some hilarious responses, as well as some sincere ones.<\/p>\n Probably the comment that had me nearly spitting up my cereal milk this morning was from a snarky fan who wrote: \u201cI am not 42.\u201d I guess if you\u2019re gonna troll, you\u2019re also gonna get responses like this one. This wasn\u2019t the only x user to opt for humor in his or her response.<\/p>\n “I’m not [the] son of Odin.”<\/p>\n “Talk to me when he can do a 16 minute keg stand.”<\/p>\n “I mean he\u2019s a god, he was born like that.”<\/p>\n “37 now, hope to look like that at 42.”<\/p>\n “I’m 43 now. I promise I looked like that a year ago though.”<\/p>\n The post also blew up on Reddit<\/a>, where a slew of other fans made some more practical points about Chris Hemsworth’s current net worth, his level of free time when he’s not on a movie set, and his lifestyle in general.<\/p>\n \u201dHe also gets paid to look like this. We aren\u2019t models, actors, etc. Most of us work a 9 – 5 and have to fit working out in. He get to workout 9-5 and then chill in his off hours.”<\/p>\n \u201dPlus he doesn’t have to work a 9:00 to 5:00 5 days a week, his life and his work is a different world than the typical human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cInfinite free time, drugs, professional chefs, people literally hired to plan out your meals.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI worked with him on Avengers. He had a personal chef and an assistant that basically jumped out of the bushes to smack whatever snack he had from his hand. Anytime he even looked at the crafty table, it was over. It was always a funny sight to see a petite little woman with glasses chasing his huge ass around. I\u2019d be fit too if I had a personal snack smacker.\u201d<\/p>\n I absolutely can\u2019t verify that last anonymous Reddit comment, but if it\u2019s true, the point is that it is not that easy to maintain an insane physique, even if you are an actor who is paid millions to do so. I doubt even Chris Hemsworth would disagree with that if you were to ask him. I’d even be willing to bet he’d enjoy having a few more snacks in his life, who wouldn’t? But work beckons, and he’s been open in the past about his weight and fitness fluctuating<\/a> based on what is going on in his life.<\/p>\n However, we’ve known he’s been prepping for the upcoming Marvel movie<\/a> Avengers: Doomsday ever since the studio’s lengthy-yet-popular chair announcements<\/a> came down the pipeline. The latest Avengers flick, Doomsday<\/a>, is set to hit the 2026 release schedule<\/a> on December 18th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
