One of the most popular Marvel superheroes, Thor, played by Australian actor Chris Hemsworth is a huge F1 fan. He even did a movie based on F1 back in 2013. In a recent interview, he talked about his love for Max Verstappen, as his other ‘Avengers’ co-stars are also huge fans of the 2-time World Champion.
In 2013, Hemsworth did a movie called ‘Rush’, where he played former British F1 driver James Hunt. The movie was based on the rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Daniel Brühl played the role of Lauda. The movie achieved plenty of success, as critics praised Hemsworth’s performance.
In 2019, Hemsworth attended the Singapore GP as one of the special guests. During that race, he and Verstappen became really close friends, as they did some challenges on the track. Since then, the Aussie actor has become a massive fan of Verstappen.
In the recent episode of the ‘Heavyweight podcast’, the Thor actor was asked about F1. In reply, he said, “Look, the only one I’ve met is Red Bull, I love that [Max] Verstappen guy.” Later, Hemsworth revealed that the Avengers co-stars had a viewing party of the 2022 Suzuka race, where Verstappen became the World Champion, at his $30 million house. “Yeah, at Marvel we all know him, we watched Suzuka 2022 at my house,” Hemsworth further said.
