Even superheroes get the blues.
Chris Hemsworth put down the hammer and led with his heart during a new profile in Vanity Fair. The Australian actor best known for putting on “the wig, the muscles and the costume” to portray Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe reflected on his time in the role — particularly the self-described “unforgivable” installment Love and Thunder. Hemsworth told the magazine that he “got caught up in the improv and the wackiness,” resulting in what he described as a “parody” of himself. Others came to Hemsworth’s defense, including Marvel mainstay Robert Downey Jr., who called Hemsworth a “formidable hat trick,” while fellow Aussie Cate Blanchett praised Hemsworth’s natural prowess. But before Hemsworth hangs up the mjölnir for good to pursue working with prolific directors like Greta Gerwig and Martin Scorsese, he thinks he owes the audience one more Thor movie to re-prove himself.
Unlike Hemsworth, another A-lister is embracing the goofiness. After Ryan Gosling hit the Fall Guy red carpet in the traditional premiere garb expected of Hollywood stars, he returned with an outfit change and a friend in tow. The Barbie star and Saturday Night Live’s Mikey Day reprised their depictions of Beavis and Butt-Head from a recent viral SNL sketch that’s garnered more than 13 million views online. Here’s hoping the dry wigs and facial prosthetics stay in the closet moving forward so SNL’s hottest moment in years doesn’t lose its charm.
Meanwhile, there’s no question that things on the timeline remain silly and goofy. Today’s funniest tweets include those about the hypnotizing power of a phrase like “dessert soups,” a Cybertruck wrapped like a deli sandwich and the most stunning corndog you’ll ever see.
