$130,000,000 Worth Chris Hemsworth Went Through a Drastic Body Transformation From Bulked Asgardian God to a Super Soldier in Extraction 2: “Hardest Thing I Have Ever…”

Chris Hemsworth has once again captivated audiences with his latest movie, “Extraction 2.” However, while viewers are amazed by the breathtaking action sequences, many remain unaware of the incredible transformation Hemsworth underwent during the preparation. In a recently released video by Netflix, the cast and crew of the film shed light on Hemsworth’s sheer dedication and unwavering commitment to achieving perfection in his role.

Thor often stays in the limelight for his intense bodybuilding transformations and workout regime, but recently, the Australian-born actor made headlines as he opened up about the hardest thing he has ever been involved in. 

The training regime of Chris Hemsworth

Hemsworth revealed in the video that he had to transition from his muscular Thor physique, which he had gained for his previous movie, to a leaner and more agile one, required for his role as a soldier in Extraction 2. Hence, he focussed on stripping down excess weight and becoming more flexible to execute the movie’s acrobatic stunts effectively. Hemsworth acknowledged the challenges and said, “It is the hardest thing I have ever been involved in”. 

The cast and crew of Extraction 2 opened up about Hemsworth’s unwavering dedication throughout the preparation process. Also, Golshifteh Farahani, his co-star who portrayed a fellow soldier, gave insights into Hemsworth’s intense training routines. She revealed that Hemsworth and other cast members would train for an astonishing 11 hours daily. “We were working from 8:00 to 7:00. A lot of preparation on the body, army training,” she said.

Shane Habberstad, the stunt coordinator for the movie, praised Hemsworth’s physical abilities. He highlighted Thor’s unique combination of size and coordination. Habberstad said, “He is super coordinated and superphysical”. This enabled him to perform many of the fight scenes himself. However, the King of Asgard once gave insight into his eating habits during the preparation of Extraction 2. 

Hemsworth’s diet patterns

In a recent interview with CNN, Hemsworth opened up about how his eating habits facilitate the process of molding himself into the shape of a super soldier. While people would expect that Hemsworth would have made huge sacrifices in his diet, the Australian-born actor said it wasn’t very hard. “I didn’t have the strictest diet,… I generally ate pretty healthy,” he said. 

The $130 million worth actor explained that he used food as fuel for his body. His healthy eating habits allowed him to perform high-level stunts and action sequences during the production. “To be honest, I knew burning so many calories, I was just eating whatever because it’s generally healthy, but it didn’t matter, it’s just like fuel fuel fuel,” he told the interviewer.
