Chris Hemsworth says he is still not considered a ‘serious actor’ Entertainment Tue, Apr 06, 2021 Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth may be one of the most loved actors in the industry but according to him, he still has a long way to go. The 37-year-old Thor actor got candid about body image and weight loss and how actors like him aren’t taken seriously until their lose or gain an “unhealthy” amount of weight for a role. Speaking to The Telegraph, he said: "There's an aesthetic that the role requires. Bodybuilding is seen as vanity, whereas if I put on a bunch of unhealthy weight, or got unhealthily skinny for a role, I'd probably be called a serious actor.”
