Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth has surprised fans by revealing a potential interest in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) during a recent interview. Known worldwide for his role as Thor, Hemsworth teased the idea that he might swap his iconic hammer for MMA gloves in the future.
Speaking on Family Style Fortune Cookies, Hemsworth admitted, “A part of me wants to, though, actually. I mean, I’ve trained a lot and sparred a lot over the years, but you know, within the realm of not killing each other.”
He continued, “And I’d love to just, one day, go, ‘Right, what have I gotten here?’ And I’ll probably end up flat on my back, starry eyes.”
