Chris Hemsworth recently did a Twitter Q&A to promote In the Heart of the Sea, and it was full of gems!
Directed by Ron Howard, In the Heart of the Sea stars Chris Hemsworth as Owen Chase, a whaler stranded at sea. Based on real events, the tumultuous event would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick.
It’s a far cry from most of Hemsworth’s more high-profile projects, that include the Thor franchise and Ghostbusters.

To promote the movie, Chris Hemsworth participated in a Q&A with fans on Twitter, and it was a pretty enjoyable read!
Not only does he talk about (and troll) his little brother Liam Hemsworth, of The Hunger Games fame, but he also proclaims Thor a fence-sitter in the big Iron Man vs. Captain America conflict in next year’s Civil War (which makes sense: Thor is one of only two Avengers not in the movie).
Check out some of the Q&A highlights:
The Hemsworths are a tour de force
“Who’s the better Hemsworth?”
Leonie. My mum. #AskChrisHemsworth #IntheHeartoftheSea https://t.co/pgmmCWQxdH

“Do you think you will ever do a movie with Liam Hemsworth?”
Yeah, I'd love to one day, if the right thing came up. But we might get sick of each other. #AskChrisHemsworth https://t.co/ol0lUeOtAR

“Team Peeta or team Gale?”

Thor’s on his own team in ‘Civil War’
“Is Thor #TeamCap or #TeamIronMan?”
He's #TeamThor. #AskChrisHemsworth #IntheHeartoftheSea https://t.co/Dar9V4JJTH

While Thor’s probably got bigger things to worry about than human squabbles, we can’t help but imagine Thor sulking in Asgard, proclaiming himself Team Thor simply because he wasn’t invited to the party.
Chris Hemsworth has excellent taste in movies

The NeverEnding Story! #AskChrisHemsworth #IntheHeartoftheSea https://t.co/s7ZdgkZUgh

He’s not a fan of weight loss (but who is?)
Poor Hemsworth had to lose his bulk for In the Heart of the Sea, and he committed. Note that he doesn’t recommend it!
Just tried a new diet/training program called "Lost At Sea". Wouldn't recommend it.. #IntheHeartoftheSea pic.twitter.com/y89McNuiiV

“What was the most challenging part of filming In the Heart of the Sea?”
Losing the weight. See the photo I tweeted earlier. I don't recommend it… #AskChrisHemsworth #IntheHeartoftheSea https://t.co/16NQgX40Zp
