0:00I'm shopping sunburned and sunburned
0:01again.
0:03And then skin peels off and you get
0:04sunburned again.
0:13Hey, what's going on everybody? From
0:14First We Feast, I'm Sean Evans and
0:16you're watching Hot Ones. It's the show
0:17with hot questions and even hotter
0:19wings. And today we're joined by Chris
0:20Hemsworth. He's an actor and lion-like
0:22figure in the action genre from the Thor
0:24and Avengers films to Rush, the
0:25Extraction franchise and many more.
0:27Coming May 24th, you can catch him in
0:28the much-anticipated George
0:29Miller-directed Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
0:32Chris Hemsworth, welcome to the show.
0:34Thank you very much.
0:35I've seen you challenge yourself in
0:36extreme ways, you know, from swimming in
0:38the Arctic to climbing a 100-ft rope
0:40that's suspended from a helicopter. How
0:43adventurous though are you as an eater?
0:45I like my food. I like my spice. But
0:47this is this is about as
0:49extreme as I think I've experienced. So.
0:53Well, are you ready to get started?
0:54This should be Limitless season 2.
1:16Am I right, this one?
1:17That's the one.
1:17Yeah.
1:21That's pretty simple. It's got a little
1:23little peppery.
1:23Mhm.
1:24Yeah.
1:25Approachable, nothing too crazy.
1:27Yeah.
1:31So, in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, you play
1:33the role of Dementus, a powerful warlord
1:35who you've described as a pretty
1:37horrible person. Maybe this is a silly
1:39question, but as an actor known for
1:41being a Norse god who always saves the
1:42day, did you find any sort of perverse
1:44joy in being the bad guy this time
1:46around?
1:47Yeah, look, there's a certain amount
1:49of restrictions, expectations when
1:51playing the hero, especially a
1:52superhero, that you have to abide by and
1:55and stay within. Um
1:57and so to to to play the villain is fun.
2:00It's it's it's kind of the shackles are
2:01off and
2:02you're allowed to be a little more
2:04unpredictable. You're allowed to, you
2:05know,
2:06there's there's not as many rules to
2:07follow. So, creatively it was it was it
2:10was a lot more fun, yeah.
2:11Did you have your most memorable driving
2:13experience on set? Like, what is it like
2:15to hop in these George Miller
2:17machinations and just cruise the
2:19Australian desert in a chariot bike?
2:20Yeah.
2:21It's uh like the real-life version of,
2:24you know, when you're a kid playing in
2:25the backyard smashing trucks and cars
2:27together, you know?
2:28The big monster truck vehicle that I was
2:30in was insane and loud and
2:33obnoxious and awesome.
2:36It was uh
2:37epic, to say the least, yeah. Yeah.
2:43Seeing double.
2:45All right.
2:47Let's try to play.
2:48There we go. I'll remember you said
2:50that. I'll remember you said that.
2:51Yeah. This is a
2:53it's going to bite me in the ass, isn't
2:54it? Literally.
2:56I'll enjoy it twice.
2:58When you shoot something like the
2:5912-minute-long one-shot fight sequence
3:02in Extraction,
3:03Yeah.
3:03how much of that is rehearsed down to
3:05the smallest movement and then how much
3:07of it happens in the moment?
3:08No, with that stuff, it's like you you
3:11the the the necessity required
3:14uh in order for everyone to stay alive,
3:16it has to be rehearsed down to the the
3:18the last beat, you know? Um
3:21And you have all your stunt performers
3:22and so on go through
3:24uh all the the right versions, the wrong
3:27versions, the sort of experimentation
3:29period. They bust themselves to pieces
3:32and then I turn up and do my own stunts,
3:34but they've, you know, been narrowed
3:36into a pretty safe zone.
3:38Safer, you know, than it could be. Um
3:41it's still a bit of a leap of faith, but
3:42um
3:43a huge amount of prep required. Um and
3:46then it's sort of a orchestrated
3:48controlled chaos.
3:54A little bit.
3:56Nothing we can't handle.
3:57No, no, no.
3:57We're on top of it.
3:58Ask me some questions.
3:59All right, I got you.
4:01So, your Nat Geo series, Limitless, they
4:03kind of reminds me of Hot Ones in that
4:04there's this obvious hook, but the
4:06ambitions of the show go so much deeper.
4:08Is there a stress management tool that
4:10maybe you learned that could possibly be
4:12useful for us as we work our way through
4:14the wings of death here?
4:15I learned about box breathing.
4:17You know, 4 seconds in, 4 seconds hold,
4:194 seconds out, 4 seconds hold.
4:22But, I'm not sure when you're choking on
4:23a chili if that comes into play.
4:25Well, I guess we could just put it into
4:26practice and see what happens, yeah.
4:28Getting bigger over here.
4:30Are you ready to move on here to sauce
4:32number four?
4:32I am. I am.
4:34Los Calientes Barbacoa.
4:37All right.
4:43A little something.
4:43Mhm. A little something.
4:45A little something.
4:51Yeah, but
4:53should be kind of sweet. Oh, there it
4:54is.
4:54Yeah, a little smokey. Yeah.
4:56It's a creeper, that one.
4:57Mhm, yeah.
4:58Okay.
5:00Mhm.
5:01Yeah.
5:01But, still locked in focus. I maybe I'm
5:03going to start box breathing.
5:04Yeah.
5:16That in itself is a challenge.
5:18As someone who clearly enjoys an
5:20adventure, what are examples of things
5:22that you have to contractually agree not
5:24to do when you're heading a
5:24billion-dollar movie franchise?
5:26Oh, well,
5:29I mean, it's there's always a just on
5:30the waiver and you don't do this, don't
5:32do that, don't do that. And you you you
5:33you need to you still kind of do
5:35secretly, but I've had a few moments
5:38I've had a few moments where
5:39I've been doing those things and going,
5:42"Wow, this could cost me or the studio
5:44or someone a a of money if I was to get
5:46injured right now." And so whilst I was
5:48shooting Extraction I was down in the
5:49south of France
5:50surfing some pretty big waves and um
5:53yeah, a couple of times I was kind of
5:55underwater, you know, and being rolled
5:57in by sort of big
5:5815-ft surf and thinking, "Ah, maybe I
6:01shouldn't be here right now. This is
6:03This could have halted the production uh
6:06for for the entirety of it because I'd
6:08be dead.
6:09Well, thankfully you can still eat hot
6:10wings. Are you ready to move on to the
6:12halfway mark?
6:13do this, yeah.
6:14So, sure we have now's revenge.
6:16Okay.
6:24I feel like we're going to stop pouring
6:25this on and dipping it in. I'm feeling
6:26I'll I'll do it if you're ready.
6:27Yeah, yeah. We're halfway there.
6:30And it feels like
6:31We'll start popping bottles. I love it.
6:32We'll start popping bottles, man.
6:34Have you used one before?
6:37Have you used one before?
6:37Has anyone ever popped bottles before in
6:39the show?
6:39We uh
6:40Oh, it's getting a little hot.
6:41We are in Vegas.
6:45All right.
6:48Okay. Yeah.
6:53Yeah, it's not bad, though.
6:54Right.
6:55This is a good one. I like that.
6:56Now's revenge.
6:57Now's revenge.
6:59Jesus.
6:59Yeah.
7:01All right.
7:02So, a lot of actors who have been on
7:03this show have explained to me the value
7:05of doing soap operas early on in their
7:07career including your countryman Margot
7:09Robbie. How, if at all, did putting
7:11together almost 200 episodes of Home and
7:13Away prepare you for what was to come in
7:14Hollywood?
7:15For me the the technicality was the
7:17greatest thing, how to hit your mark,
7:19how to learn lines on the fly, how to
7:21just be comfortable in this setting with
7:23cameras and lights and things you
7:25pointing in your direction, you know? Um
7:28and but then you kind of
7:31there's not some I wouldn't say bad
7:32habits, but there's a certain sort of
7:34default position you get into and it's a
7:36comfort zone which
7:38I had to kind of get out of my system
7:40when I first started
7:42doing film.
7:47Let's just pop bottles.
7:48All right, let's pop bottles.
7:50How heavy you going to go?
7:52I'm going to kind of follow your lead.
7:54I'm just doing a few Oh, this is
7:56Oh, see, it's a dangerous game that
7:58dangerous game we're playing over here.
7:59Uh why do we do this? Oh, there we go.
8:02kind of your idea.
8:03Do you do the the the version?
8:06Do you ever rub it in your eye by
8:07accident?
8:07Oh, I
8:08Mhm.
8:09Any hot sauce mistake you can make. This
8:10is a step up, by the way.
8:12Oh, that's a real jump.
8:14That's not like a gentle introduction.
8:16We went from
8:18pepper to chili now, but
8:19Yeah.
8:29We can't reach for the milk yet, all
8:30right?
8:30All right, yeah. We're in a standoff,
8:32and I'll hold my ground as long as you
8:34hold your ground.
8:34Yeah, just as long as you can. Yeah.
8:36Yeah, go for it. Go for it.
8:40Uh
8:41When you're watching
8:44Can we have a glass of milk?
8:45Yeah, let's do it.
8:47It's too soon, don't you think?
8:47Too soon? All right, I'm off. I'm off.
8:49I'm off.
8:49Go.
8:50I'm always curious how people who act in
8:52films actually consume them. Like, how
8:53would you describe yourself as a
8:55moviegoer?
8:56Uh
8:57I think a lot more growing up, you know?
9:00Um I used to love the moviegoing
9:01experience, but uh
9:03I don't know, once you kind of seen
9:04behind the curtain, you you can't help
9:06but sit there and kind of go, "Oh, yeah,
9:07I know they did this. I know that
9:09person. I know I drink with that
9:10person." And
9:12You know,
9:12when I watched Fury Road, I remember
9:15coming out of that film, I was
9:17completely immersed in the experience.
9:19For the first time in years, I forgot
9:20that I I I I knew what was going on. I
9:23wasn't sitting there going, "Oh, how did
9:24they do that shot? How did they do
9:25this?" I was
9:26absolutely 100% absorbed in the
9:28experience, and so
9:30um
9:31I've forgotten the question cuz it's
9:32gone down my tongue a little.
9:34Yeah.
9:35Is that the answer?
9:36It works for me.
9:37It works. mean? Like I'm I'm marinating
9:39in this whole experience just like you,
9:41you know? I'm not a superhero
9:43marinating in the old
9:44Oñema
9:46habanero sherry.
9:47It's a challenge over here.
9:49Let's have another one.
9:50Wow. Yeah? You want to You want to pop
9:52the bottle on it?
9:53Yeah, let's pop the bottle on it.
9:54Hell yeah.
9:59We're pushing the envelope, aren't we?
10:02Do we just bite it first or we do No, we
10:03don't.
10:03No, we don't.
10:06All right.
10:10Okay.
10:11Ready?
10:11Yep.
10:12Okay.
10:15Kind of nice up front.
10:17Yeah.
10:18Almost kind of ketchupy.
10:19Yeah.
10:20But sometimes hot sauce is tricky, you
10:22know?
10:22Yeah.
10:23And this one I think is a trickster.
10:25Lose you and then
10:28You have that false sense of security.
10:32It's got like a peppery kick, doesn't
10:33it?
10:33Yeah.
10:35It does.
10:36Well, then.
10:37Yeah, really like a
10:39really a compliment to the last one, you
10:41know? Just a different kind of pepper
10:42violence.
10:43compliment, yeah.
10:45They're all getting along in there,
10:46aren't they?
10:46They really are.
10:47each other.
10:48It's like a fish fight.
10:49Uh-huh.
10:50Like a war zone.
10:51Do you have a go-to deflection when
10:53you're at a convention and a fan
10:55approaches you and it asks you like a
10:57minute super deep cut comic book
10:59question that you have absolutely no
11:01idea how to answer?
11:03Um
11:05No, I've been pretty open about kind of
11:07having
11:08read some comics but not others. I do
11:10this thing sometimes
11:11when I'm not real good with names. I
11:14know everyone's going to know now if
11:15they say this, but someone will come up
11:16and go, "Chris, good to see you." And
11:17I'll have my wife with me. I go I go,
11:19"Hey,
11:21and she'll go, "Hi, I'm Elsa. This is
11:23John." I go, "John, this is Sorry, man.
11:25Something like that."
11:27I go I can do that.
11:28Yeah, I was going to say I wasn't sure
11:29if you were like telling the story and
11:32yeah, explaining
11:33or if you're just actually reacting to
11:35this.
11:36Hey, good to see you.
11:38Sorry.
11:39And then you wait for someone else to
11:40step in.
11:41That's smart. I might steal that from
11:43you.
11:43It's good, yeah. It's not too bad. I
11:44mean, it's it's not fun, but
11:46right?
11:47Yeah.
11:48Now, this next one is no fun.
11:50This is the bomb beyond insanity.
11:53Yeah, do we really want to pour it on
11:55this pop bottles again? Yeah.
11:58I'm going to pour it in the other sauce.
11:59How's that sound?
12:01Oh, dangerous.
12:02Is your mouth watering?
12:04Yeah.
12:05And my lips are on fire.
12:06Yeah.
12:07Should we have some milk?
12:09If you're down.
12:10If you don't want to, I don't want to.
12:11If you don't Yeah, I'm good if you're
12:13I'm good if you're good. Up to you.
12:14I'm not touching that milk until you
12:15touch it.
12:16Yeah, yeah. Well, if you're good, I'm
12:17good. You know, no need for to reach for
12:19the milk.
12:22Yeah.
12:23It just doesn't go either, does it?
12:25No.
12:26Like
12:27Speaking of compound injuries, you know
12:28what I mean? Like, that's the show. You
12:30have a cumulative effect here.
12:32I don't know how I'm going to rest of my
12:34press interviews I've got to do for the
12:36day.
12:39I might be done for the day.
12:40Oh my gosh, yeah. This might be it. This
12:41might take us out.
12:43This one, really?
12:43Yeah. You know, I've been around the
12:44block a couple
12:45always get to the end? Oh, you've been
12:46here before.
12:47Yeah, we're going to get to the end.
12:51Now, this one will be immediate broth.
12:53As soon as it hit my mouth.
13:02I don't want to play anymore.
13:04I don't want to do this anymore.
13:07I'd nickel for every time I heard that.
13:08we have to do milk now.
13:09Yeah. All right, let's go. Let's go.
13:10Let's go. Let's break the damn.
13:11Oh my god.
13:13Look. Yeah.
13:16Mhm.
13:17Oh.
13:19That's awful. That's so bad.
13:20I know. And you the milk doesn't even
13:22really help that much.
13:24Now I'm nervous.
13:26Now I get it. I get it.
13:30No, constantly doing one stop.
13:33No, I get it. I get it. But as intense
13:35as it is right now, this is intense as
13:37it will be. You know what I mean?
13:38No.
13:39It'll fade.
13:43Oh, no. No, I'm I'm scared.
13:45Yeah. No, I get it. I get it.
13:48We're so brazen before.
13:49How do I do this shoving the board?
13:50Remember early on when you're like, "I'm
13:52bored." You know what I mean?
13:54I'm not bored anymore.
13:58Yeah.
13:58It always comes back, the show.
14:00Oh my god.
14:01See, cold surfing one of the few things
14:03that holds my attention completely and
14:04in its entirety.
14:05No, I'm really nervous.
14:07If I were to ask you, what's the
14:09greatest wave you've ever surfed? Is
14:10there a memory that crystallizes in your
14:12brain?
14:15Well, uh right right Oh, man.
14:20Okay. Okay.
14:24Mhm.
14:25Mhm.
14:26Um uh
14:28Fiji.
14:30Cloudbreak.
14:35I went with um Kelly Slater once. It's a
14:37Cloudbreak, Fiji.
14:39And uh
14:40I was going to be there.
14:42Here we go. We have this magic trick.
14:44This is our medic over here.
14:46Oh.
14:49And that is help.
14:50Okay. Yeah, okay.
14:52Mhm.
14:53Mhm.
14:54He takes me on the cliff and huge set
14:56and he goes, "Ah, don't worry. That's
14:57the last big set dropping off."
14:59Cool. I paddle out and
15:02straight away a 12-ft set comes through.
15:05Washed everyone out. Comes up, he looks
15:07at me, he goes, "I swear it's dropping
15:09off.
15:09It's the last big set."
15:11And uh
15:1410 minutes later, another one, even
15:15bigger.
15:17My board's like tombstoning and I'm like
15:19on the reef going I'm trying to climb my
15:21leg rope to get the top. I come up and
15:22he's like, "Okay, I'm getting smaller.
15:25Go him." I went him.
15:27That was probably the biggest scariest
15:28surf I've been in.
15:30Nowhere near as terrifying as the next
15:32thing we're about to do.
15:39I can't wait to enjoy that tomorrow
15:40morning.
15:42I just calm after for all the cockiness
15:44I had at the start, wasn't it?
15:45It's a humbling show. You know, it
15:47really is at its heart.
15:48have stopped there if somebody got
15:49there. The
15:50journey.
15:52It's a journey.
15:52Here we go.
15:57My body's like, "Why are we doing this
15:58again?"
15:59I am bent over.
16:01Part two. What an experience.
16:02That's my god. It's not bad.
16:05It's just as bad.
16:06It's not as bad.
16:09Not fun, but not as bad. Not as bad.
16:11I was being sunburnt and sunburnt again.
16:14And then the skin peels off and you get
16:15sunburnt again.
16:18Do you remember where you were and how
16:20you celebrated back in 2016 when your
16:22beloved Western Bulldogs won the AFL
16:24Grand Final? Their first in over 60
16:26years.
16:26Yeah.
16:28Yeah, it was Yeah, it was there
16:32I was there with my dad.
16:34And uh the last time they'd won was 1954
16:37when he was born.
16:38Careful. Careful. Careful.
16:41And uh
16:42super emotional this story.
16:46It was 1954.
16:48That's the last time they'd won. So,
16:50that
16:51And uh
16:54Look at me.
16:56I'm locked in.
16:59And I was at the Grand Final. And it was
17:01epic. And every week up in in the finals
17:05leading up, everyone was like, "Wow, you
17:06know, the Bulldogs have gotten this far.
17:08They're not going to win."
17:09They're a seven seed, you know? That's
17:10incredible.
17:11And they were like, "We're not going to
17:12win, but you know, this is so great."
17:14And then right at the game, everyone he
17:16we got we got this far." And I said,
17:19"We're going to win. We're going to do
17:20it." And um
17:23I remember my dad crying and
17:25and I'm having tears cuz he's crying and
17:27and my brothers were there and
17:30and it was it was epic. It was great.
17:33It was so much fun.
17:36What are you doing? We're dropping
17:37Are we doing this?
17:39Why are we doing this?
17:40I don't care. Let's go.
17:45Well, come on. We've come this far. Is
17:47this the biggest worst one?
17:48Yeah.
17:49That's the show. It's just like it's
17:50like
17:51surfing with Kelly Slater, you know?
17:53That's right.
17:53One wave goes through, you think it's
17:55going to be the worst one, and then the
17:56next one comes, you know?
17:58Oh, man.
17:58But thankfully
17:59I'll put too much on.
18:00This is the last one.
18:01Oh, really?
18:05Love you.
18:06Love you back.
18:08Goodbye.
18:09Goodbye.
18:14Uh-oh.
18:14Oh.
18:15And just one more question before we
18:17roll credits. It almost seems
18:19preordained that you'd be an action
18:20star, you know, growing up obsessed with
18:22Schwarzenegger movies, practicing your
18:25Rambo-isms and Jean-Claude Van Damme
18:27flying kicks. I'm curious, from your
18:29unique vantage point, as someone who
18:31grew up a fan of the genre and is now a
18:33cornerstone of the genre, what in your
18:35opinion is the greatest action movie
18:37performance of all time?
18:40I'm never done thinking.
18:41The greatest action movie performance of
18:43all time
18:45One of my favorite films, Kickboxer.
18:48Bloodsport. Action. Now,
18:52you know, how you shoot action these
18:54days is
18:55Yeah, I don't know if it's more
18:56sophisticated, but there's been
18:58there's been growth, you know? And and
19:00um
19:01and you watch them now and they're kind
19:02of very, you know, everything's a lot of
19:04slow-mo and
19:06big holding kicks and so on.
19:08Um but Bloodsport, Kickboxer,
19:11probably two of my favorite.
19:13Yeah.
19:14Set it in stone and look at you, Chris
19:16Hemsworth, taking on the wings of death,
19:18living to tell the tale, and now there's
