Chris Hemsworth Thor Workout, Diet, Weight Loss, Body Stats

Chris Hemsworth (DOB: 11 August 1983) is perhaps the only actor in recent memory who has successfully changed his body thrice within a span of 2 years for Thor, The Avengers, Rush, and Thor: The Dark World. The 33-year-old star bulked up for The Avengers, then lost weight to play Formula-1 world champion James Hunt in Rush, and again got into a Norse god-like shape for “Thor: The Dark World.” Here, we share how the Australian action hero managed to make this sudden transformation.

Chris Hemsworth Workout Routine

The key for Chris was to find out the best way to train and eat to achieve the desired results. For his role in Thor, the Aussie superstar trained in the gym under ex-Navy Seal Duffy Gaver. He used traditional bodybuilding techniques to strengthen Chris’s arm and shoulder muscles.

After filming “The Avenger,” Hemsworth shifted from weight lifting to cardio training in order to fit into the role of the Formula 1 driver. He revealed that shedding 30 pounds in just four months was a nasty thing, but he managed to do so with his constant cardio regimen and a strict diet. However, he re-installed the superhero physique by adhering to protein-packed diet and functional training.
