* RealLifeRelative: His brother Luke played a "theatre" version of Thor in ''Ragnarok'' and ''Love and Thunder''.



* SiblingRivalry: Apparently he and his brother Liam used to get into fights so vicious (Liam admits that knives were occasionally involved) that they had to be separated when their parents (the only ones able to handle them both) went on a trip to Europe. They were finalists for the role of Thor, and he had actually asked Liam for pointers during his second audition (Liam had initially received a callback and Chris didn't). Mocked heartily in the 'Bitman Begins' spoof they did for Jimmy Kimmel (a skit where Kimmel re-imagined famous YouTube clips as OscarBait movies, in this case, the famous "Charlie Bit My Finger" vid.)

!!Tropes relating to Chris Hemsworth include:
* TheAce: Manages to be an acclaimed actor, a good singer, a great improvisational comedian, incredibly attractive, and run a fitness program (app-based Centr). He also managed to land Creator/ElsaPataky for a wife.
* BarbarianLonghair: Was this with his star-making role in ''Film/{{Thor}}'' and during much of his earlier career but nowadays has largely dropped it.
* ChronicallyKilledActor: Surprisingly often. His characters have died in [[spoiler:''Star Trek'', ''The Cabin in the Woods'', ''Red Dawn'', ''Rush'', ''Bad Times at the El Royale'' and possibly ''Extraction''.]]
* DyeingForYourArt: invoked Like Creator/ChristianBale before him, he has often had to gain and lose a large amount of weight in quick succession due to his other projects in between superhero roles. He bulked up to play Thor but had to quickly slim down during production because he'd gotten too big for the costume (he was losing circulation in his limbs). He had to lose 30 pounds of muscle in order to convincingly play James Hunt in ''Rush'' (otherwise he was too big to fit in the racecars), and then had to gain it all back again for ''Thor: The Dark World''. He also had to go on a crash diet to play an emaciated, starving sailor for ''In the Heart of the Sea'' and re-bulked back up ''again'' to Thor-weight for ''Avengers: Age of Ultron''. And now it appears he's slimmed down considerably for ''Ghostbusters''.
** The fat suit he wore in ''Avengers: Endgame'' actually served a purpose of obscurity his actual body while filming as after filming 3 Thor outings back to back to back, he then immediately went on to film ''Men In Black International'' with a much more trim physique.
** And now he's bulked up again, even more than previously, in Film/ThorLoveAndThunder and to play Hulk Hogan in a biopic.
* FakeNationality: invoked
** Hemsworth adopts a British accent for Thor and James Hunt, Scottish for The Huntsman, and played Americans in ''Red Dawn'' and ''The Cabin in the Woods''. He also used an American-ish accent as George Kirk in ''Film/StarTrek2009''.
** By his admission, ''Ghostbusters'' is the first project he's ever done since his stint on ''Home and Away'' that he gets to use his natural Australian accent.
* HiddenDepths: His costars on Ghostbusters expressed surprise at his strength at improvisational comedy.
* {{Hunk}}: Even outside of roles, he clearly prefers to keep himself in shape. His "slimmed down" look mentioned above (although not as huge as his Thor physique, as mentioned) is still considerably big and fit; with the exception of Owen Chase, when he ''did'' look emaciated.
* LeslieNielsenSyndrome: invoked After his StarMakingRole as Thor, he's landed plenty of action-oriented roles. However, after ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'' and ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' demonstrated his surprising talent at improv comedy, Hemsworth has since been given more comedic roles that play better to his comic skills than his appearance as a {{Hunk}}.
* LikesOlderWomen: His wife, Creator/ElsaPataky, is eight years older than him.
* MrFanservice: A number of female cast and crew from the sets of the Marvel films would find excuses to touch his arms and chest. Others didn't even bother with excuses. Even Creator/RobertDowneyJr has been known to talk about it frequently in interviews. When one interviewer told Creator/ScarlettJohansson (no stranger to being considered a MsFanservice herself) that she/her character Black Widow is considered the most attractive member of the Avengers, Johansson's response was "Have you seen Chris Hemsworth?"
** His castmates at ''Film/Ghostbusters2016'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUQysTg6CGg got distracted talking about him]] in Series/TheGrahamNortonShow instead of promoting the film.
* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: invoked As George Kirk in ''Film/StarTrek2009'', he bore enough of a resemblance to Creator/ChrisPine, who played main character James Kirk, that according to director Creator/JJAbrams, some viewers mistakenly thought Pine played both characters.
* SiblingRivalry: Apparently he and his brother Liam used to get into fights so vicious (Liam admits that knives were occasionally involved) that they had to be separated when their parents (the only ones able to handle them both) went on a trip to Europe. They were finalists for the role of Thor, and he had actually asked Liam for pointers during his second audition (Liam had initially received a callback and Chris didn't). Mocked heartily in the 'Bitman Begins' spoof they did for Jimmy Kimmel (a skit where Kimmel re-imagined famous YouTube clips as OscarBait movies, in this case, the famous "Charlie Bit My Finger" vid.)
-->'''Chris:''' We both came all the way over here from Australia and ended up battling against each other.
* StarMakingRole: invoked An odd case, and borderline inversion. Both ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods'' and ''Film/RedDawn2012'' were clearly meant to be this for Hemsworth, but the financial troubles at MGM meant they weren't released until after he had starred in ''Film/{{Thor}}'', which is what ultimately did end up being Hemsworth's star-making role instead.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's 6'3", although he's blonde rather than dark-haired.
