Here’s Chris Hemsworth boxing for a straight minute, if you’re into that sort of thing
Some things you know you need to start your day — a grande bold coffee with skim, a slice of avocado toast and, perhaps, just for today, this vid of Chris Hemsworth boxing for nearly one full minute. No background music, no instagram filters, just pure, sweat-shirted Australian sweat and fervor. With a promise that the Thor actor is “gettin ready to fight the Hulk”, we can only assume he’s training for for Thor: Ragnorak. Uh, paging Mark Ruffalo? Are you seeing this? We know the fighting will be artfully choreographed and not a swing will actually hit its target, but jeez. You gotta be a little intimidated knowing this is what you’re up against…even if you are a gigantic CGI green muscle monster.
Take a small break from reality and watch one minute of Thor unleashing on a punching bag. Do it, it just feels right.
We don’t know anything about form or the right way to throw a punch at the Hulk, but this looks pretty good to us. It seems the superhero bug has definitely visited the entire Hemsworth house, as just two days ago Hemsworth’s wife, Elsa, posted this ovary-warming gem:
Um, this is like, #dadgoals, #husbandgoals, #kidgoals…will a blanket #lifegoals hastag just cover it? We think so.
Chris and his actor wife have promised to never take jobs at the same time (Elsa Pataky has starred in the ongoing Fast and the Furious saga among TV shows and other films), so that they’d never both be far from their three young kids; India, Tristan and Sasha. And as far as star power goes, rumor has it Chris was “instrumental in having Thor: Ragnarok — due for release this year — filmed on the Gold Coast so he could stay close to home.”
Ya gotta hand it to those Hemsworths — they make living life look easy, breezy and effortlessly fun. Even if it’s just a minute of straight boxing, and that’s saying something.
