Are Many Cans of Pringles in Chris Hemsworth's Near Future?

The new "Thor" movie is finally out, starring the Australian actor, Chris Hemsworth. Click here for our previous postings about the build-up to the movie. Now that the comic book movie is finally out, already the internet is aflame with discussion of the actor's new pumped-up body. At left are "before" and "after" photos of Hemsworth.










We're a little worried, though, because as good as Hemsworth looks, we've seen this story before. An obscure actor gets cast in a big budget action movie, the actor spends months beefing up for the role, he makes a huge splash with his new body, and then, in no time, the new body is gone.







Remember when Gerard Butler of "300" fame went from "Gerard" to "Ge-Lard"? Oh my. Please, Chris Hemsworth, we're begging you, don't let this happen to you.

Hollywood Watch

The comic book-inspired trend in movies continues with the upcoming Kenneth Branagh directed "Thor". Cast in the lead, opposite Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins, is a relative newcomer, Australian Chris Hemsworth. At right is the first still photograph released from the film. Really? is this the best they could come up with? And this one, really vague shot is supposed to whet our appetite for more? Oh well, bad P.R. work aside, hopefully we'll get more shots of Chris Hemsworth like the ones below from his previous role in an Aussie soap opera.
