How many Chrises (and Krises) does it take to pull off an (accidental) art heist?
Chris Hemsworth,Chris PrattandKris Jennerteamed up for Meta’s Super Bowl ad, promoting theRay-Ban Meta glassesin a series of 30-second spots that shows the twoAvengerslearning about art (and accidentally destroying it … and then trying to cover up the evidence captured on their smart eyewear).
In an exclusive email interview with PEOPLE, Hemsworth discusses his most recent Super Bowl project with Meta, shares some of the on-set antics and reveals which ofhis three kids with wife Elsa Patakyhas “borrowed” the glasses for a creative purpose.
With his Marvel background, Hemsworth is no stranger to starring in something zillions of people will see, he still found it “nerve wracking” filming a Super Bowl ad, he says: “Knowing such a large audience will be watching is certainly added pressure, but also a great motivator to produce something entertaining and memorable.”
He says he was drawn to be part of Meta’s Super Bowl ad for the glasses' sleek design and impressive AI capabilities — “other versions of this tech feel super clumsy to me, but these look and feel great and have the added bonus of being able to record video, play music, tell you what you’re looking at, translate language and much more” — plus the chance to ad lib some “self-deprecating banter” between himself, Pratt and Jenner.
“We had a great time and enjoyed poking fun at ourselves,” Hemsworth tells PEOPLE. “Watching Pratt and me stumble our way through an art gallery trying our best to look sophisticated and failing miserably should be a lot of fun!”
He adds, “There was a lot of room to improvise which reminded me of the first time I was on anAvengersset with Pratt. He’s got such an incredible wit and sense of humor; it made for another hilarious day.”

Once the shoot wrapped, Hemsworth got to take the glasses home, and says he and his kids have been enjoying testing their capabilities.
“We love using the voice commands … just saying’Hey Meta, call Grandma,' " he says. “My daughter has used them a lot while riding her horse and filming some great first person video galloping along the beach or through the forest.”
