The Sweet Change Hemsworth Made for Portman Before Thor 4 Kiss Scene
Natalie Portman opens up about a sweet gesture Chris Hemsworth made in preparation for a kissing scene in Thor: Love and Thunder. The movie sees Taika Waititi return to the director's chair following the immense success he saw at the helm of 2017's Thor: Ragnarok. Hemsworth is back as Thor alongside Tessa Thompson, Christian Bale, Russell Crowe, Waititi, Jamie Alexander, and Portman.
Love and Thunder marks Portman's return to the role of Jane Foster after she was less than happy with her experience working on Thor: The Dark World, leading to her departure from the franchise. Waititi convinced Portman to return after Ragnarok wowed audiences, and this time, Jane Foster finds herself in a popular storyline from the comics where she wields Mjölnir and becomes the Mighty Thor. Foster's return also has significant implications for Hemsworth's Thor, who finds himself still in love with her all these years later.
While appearing on the UK's Capital FM, Portman and Thompson answered Thor: Love and Thunder questions, some of which pertained to the sweet nature of Hemsworth. According to Portman, on the day she and Hemsworth were meant to film a kissing scene, the Thor actor chose not to consume meat as a gesture of kindness to Portman, who he knows is vegan. Thompson then joked that she didn't think he could forgo eating meat while reinforcing what a nice guy Hemsworth is. Check out Portman and Thompson's comments below:
Quote:
Portman: "The day we had a kiss scene, he didn’t eat meat that morning because I’m vegan. And he eats meat like every half hour. Like, that was so thoughtful. That’s not something I’m angry about or care about, but he was just being thoughtful. He’s just a very nice person."
Thompson: "I didn’t even know he could go without eating meat. He’s just like eating bison in the morning. That’s so sweet."
Portman and Thomspson's comments reinforce what many have already said about Hemsworth's character. Chris Pratt recently praised Hemsworth on Twitter, and Waititi has had nothing but positive words for the actor, going so far as to say he would only make Thor 5 if Hemsworth were involved. Hemsworth even tries to keep a positive family vibe on set, with his kids appearing in Thor: Love and Thunder.
Thor: Love and Thunder looks like it will continue to dominate the box office this coming weekend with limited competition on the horizon. And while the film has been hit with mixed reviews, it should be more than capable of maintaining Marvel's impressive track record at the box office. Audiences knowing how nice the title actor is and how well he treated his costars is just one more thing Thor: Love and Thunder has working in its favor.
