Chris Hemsworth has put himself through some of the most impressive body transformations during his film career. The Australian actor has left no stones unturned to fit perfectly in his roles in numerous memorable films and that also speaks volumes about the kind of efforts that go into making it happen. However, there are certain things even a fitness role model like Chris Hemsworth struggles with!
The 38-year-old actor recently posted a workout video on his Instagram account. The video shows Chris Hemsworth going hard in pilates workout with his brother Liam Hemsworth, guided by one of the coaches on his fitness app Centr. The Hemsworth brothers look quite uncomfortable and struggle to keep up with the workout in the video. The camera even caught Liam Hemsworth resting his hands on his legs to maintain the squatting position. All this while, Chris Hemsworth’s friend and stunt double Boby Holland Hanton kept a safe distance from the brutal session and instead chose to just be a spectator.
