Chris Hemsworth’s Thrilling Stunts In Extraction 2 Bring Out The Kid In Him!
New York City was buzzing with excitement on Monday night as Chris Hemsworth graced the premiere of Extraction 2. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the premiere, the beloved actor, a household name from his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, opened up about the exhilarating stunts that define the thriller whose sequel is set to drop on June 16.
At first, Chris confessed that he was skeptical when Sam Hargrave, the director, pitched the idea to him. “Hang on, hang on, how is this even possible?” Hemsworth recalls himself questioning. However, as the idea sunk in, his excitement soared, and he felt like “a kid” again.
“It’s like being involved in the most crazy sporting experience you’ve ever been a part of,” the father of three explained.
The actor, known for his role as a superhero, also revealed that his three children share his love for stunts. Chris, who has been happily married to his wife Elsa Pataky for 13 years, gushed about his kids’ enthusiasm, saying, “My kids love it, my kids love it.”
According to him, his twin sons Sasha and Tristan, aged 9, and his daughter India, aged 11, were even present on set sometimes, eagerly wanting to participate and be a part of the action.
Chris’ passion for adventure and physical challenges extends beyond the silver screen. Earlier this year, the Thor: Love and Thunder star took to Instagram to share his deep-rooted love for surfing. In a heartfelt post, he reminisced about his childhood, where his father would load the whole family into their Kombi van for a memorable trip to the beach, all in pursuit of the perfect wave. Surfing not only provided him with an active lifestyle but also created lasting memories with his loved ones.
For Hemsworth, surfing has become an integral part of his identity, an activity that continues to bring joy to his life and strengthen his bond with his family. “Surfing remains a mainstay in my life and has become a part of my identity, and I continue to make memories with my family in the ocean,” he shared with great enthusiasm.
As fans eagerly await the release of Extraction 2, they can look forward to witnessing Chris’ fearless stunts and feeling the adrenaline rush that comes with it. The film promises to deliver an unforgettable experience, where the actor’s passion for extreme action merges with his commitment to entertaining audiences.
