Chris Hemsworth almost lost his 'Avengers' role to baby brother Liam

But believe it or not, a decade ago, the Australian actor nearly lost out on the role of a lifetime to a different Hemsworth — Chris' younger brother, Liam. In 2009, according to, Liam actually came close to beating out his older brother for the chance to don Thor's long golden locks while wielding Mjolnir, the powerful hammer the Asgardian god uses to smash enemies like Thanos.

"I remembered reading the breakdown for Thor and it said, 'Must be over 6'3" and 200 pounds,' and so on ... So I thought, 'Great. This is up my alley,'" Chris Hemsworth tells W Magazine. "I remember sitting in Vancouver, shooting 'Cabin in the Woods' with [director] Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon. Both of them were looking at the trades at this, sort of, top five guys for 'Thor' and saying, 'Why aren't you in the mix here? What happened?' I said, 'I don't know. I blew my audition I guess,'" Hemsworth says.
