Chris Hemsworth opens up about competing with brother Liam for 'Thor' role in lie detector test

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Chris Hemsworth was close to losing his iconic role to his little brother, Liam! That’s correct!

The Marvel hero, who has played ‘Thor’ for the studio since 2011 revealed that he was jealous of his sibling and almost lost to him during auditions.

Taking a lie detector test for Vanity Fair, Chris said “Because I was told that I didn’t have the part at that point. So, I was excited for him.”

“[I was] a little jealous, maybe, but I was excited for him,” he added.

Chris Hemsworth further explained how close the contest was between the two brothers, “Then when I was allowed to re-audition, it was when he was out of the picture."

"So, we never were neck and neck. It was either I was involved and he wasn’t, then he was involved and I wasn’t, then I was involved,” he added.

The interviewer also asked Chris what role he would like to take on from his sibling, suggesting Miley Cyrus’ song ‘The Last Song,’ in which Liam Hemsworth featured with his then-gf.

The 40-year-old responded with a chuckle, and quipped, “The Last Song? No. The world would have been — his life would have been very different, wouldn’t it?”
