Chris Hemsworth Spills the Tea on His “Intimidating” Co-Star Halle Berry at CinemaCon
Let’s unpack the delightful revelation that even Hollywood’s A-listers can feel a pang of intimidation—who knew? In a recent tête-à-tête at CinemaCon, Chris Hemsworth, the beloved Thor himself, confessed to E! News that stepping onto the set with the illustrious Halle Berry for their upcoming crime thriller, “Crime 101,” was no cakewalk. Hemsworth admitted to being “intimidated” by Berry, whose meteoric career has made her a titan in the industry. “I’ve admired Halle’s work for many, many years,” he remarked with all the awe of a fanboy meeting his idol, adding that he found it challenging not to be mesmerized by her performance while trying to keep his own act together.
However, the plot thickens—thankfully, Berry has a knack for turning any tension into camaraderie. Once the cameras started rolling, Hemsworth felt an immediate sense of ease, crediting Berry for fostering an atmosphere ripe for creativity and exploration. “Certain people just bring out not just the best in you,” he mused, “but also sort of a comfort level.” It seems that the chemistry between the two was palpable, as Halle returned the sentiment by declaring Hemsworth one of her “new favorite people.”
But wait, there’s more! Berry, ever the advocate for woman empowerment, shared a heartwarming anecdote about Hemsworth standing up for her during filming. “He stood up for a woman,” she said, her admiration evident. It’s a refreshing reminder that chivalry is not dead, especially in an industry often criticized for its gender dynamics. The film, based on Don Winslow’s novella, unfolds a thrilling narrative where detective Lou Lubesnick tracks down jewel heists committed by a mysterious perpetrator following a strict set of rules—“Crime 101.” The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Jason Leigh, ensuring that it will be a cinematic feast for fans of the genre.
As we await the official release, this behind-the-scenes glimpse at Hemsworth and Berry’s budding friendship reminds us that in the world of glitz and glamour, a little vulnerability can go a long way. So, let’s raise a glass to Hemsworth’s humility and Berry’s empowering spirit—two qualities that make the Hollywood landscape just a tad brighter. Class dismissed.
