Chris Hemsworthis opening up about becoming Fat Thor in a new behind the scenes look at the making ofAvengers: Endgame.
“We had a sort of fat suit that I think was 60 or 70 pounds,” Hemsworth said. “It was the hottest I’ve ever been.”
On top of a suit, the actor was also given more body hair than he was used to, including a beard.
“We had the beard, the hair, these things that go in the mouth that sort of plump my cheeks a bit, which sort of had a little effect on the voice as well but in a good way, it was a different Thor,” Hemsworth said.
His costar Tessa Thompson, who played Valkyrie in the film, said the actor was fun to work with.
“He’d been playing the character for a while and wanted to find something new,” she said of Hemsworth. “He has such dexterity as a talent. He’s incredibly funny. He has really lovely energy.”

In May, Hemsworth joked Thor “definitely ate his way through his emotions” afterAvengers: Infinity War.
“It was great. It was so much fun. Every time I stepped toward the catering truck, they were like, ‘No, no, no,'” he said while onThe Graham Norton Show.
“I got a lot of cuddles. My wife, she’s had three kids, and often the pregnant lady will get their belly rubbed in the supermarket and Robert Downey gave me a fair share of those,” he said. “Everyone wanted to cuddle me. I felt like Santa Claus, you know? Got a few Avengers in my lap from time to time.”
“I enjoyed that version of Thor,” Hemsworthsaid inVariety‘s latest cover storyin early May. “It was so different than any other way I played the character. And then it took on a life of its own.”

“Physically, it was a good three hours in hair and makeup,” he continued. “Then the prosthetic suit, particularly for the shirt-off scene, that was a big silicone that weighed about 90 pounds. It was certainly exhausting. I had weights on my hands and ankles just to have my arms and legs swing differently when I shuffled along through the set.”
He added, “People just kept coming up and cuddling me like a big bear or rubbing my belly like I was pregnant. Or trying to sit on my lap like I was Santa Claus. You get a lot of affection. I felt like an old man, an old grandpa, with a bunch of kids around.”
