Chris Hemsworth has become the established household name that people often associate with the industry’s upcoming and/or previous blockbuster films, and with good reason. From being one of the very first superheroes in the MCU, being one of six OG Avengers, to now being one of the last 2 remaining Avengers in the MCU. It’s no exaggeration to say that even after starring as the Norse God of Thunder and many other successful films beyond those of Marvel Studios, he’s still looking for new challenges to take on.
But sometimes even the best can be insecure when doing something, especially when they don’t clearly understand what they are doing.
In the last episode of Happy Sad Confused podcast, Chris Hemsworth confessed that he was scared as he played his role in the upcoming prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road where he became so insecure that he thought the whole project would fall apart because of him.
Chris Hemsworth wasn’t sure about his performance in Furiosa
When you hear the name Chris Hemsworth in the wild, your mind automatically directs your thoughts to an image of an absolutely gorgeous man with big muscles and a handsome face, and a still image of some of his performances that you you may have seen in movies. . But what you don’t imagine is someone who isn’t sure what he’s doing, because let’s face it, every role he’s played over the years is near perfect.

Sometimes though, even the best doubt themselves, and this time the reason for doubt in Hemsworth’s mind was because of his role as the main antagonist in the upcoming prequel movie. Mad Max: Fury Road appointed Furiosa after Charlize Theron’s character of the same name. He revealed the fact that when he was shooting for the film, it was difficult for him to understand the character he was to play. On the Happy Sad Confused Podcast, he said:
“I just finished shooting ‘Furiosa’ with George Miller, it’s part of the ‘Mad Max’ saga, and often I get a script and I know from the first reading, the second reading, I know who the character is. I get kind of an instant visceral feeling attached to it – ‘Okay, I got it.’ What I had read two years before I started shooting and I was in awe of the script It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read I love George Miller but I didn’t know who it was this character. We did about four weeks of rehearsals and we started to dig and dive into it, and things started to come to mind. And about 2 weeks before shooting, something clicked. I’m went, ‘Oh, I think I know who it is and that’s how it moves.’
Most spectators who are fans of The Mad Max saga would empathize with Hemsworth when he says so, as is always the case with actors who get their hands on the movie script. The sheer madness and outlandish characters of the franchise are sometimes too much to comprehend.
