Actor is the champion but he’s had training: while shooting for new movie “Rush”

Chris Hemsworth has a new movie coming out in the US next Friday and you must already know what this means: more screentime with him and more interviews to promote it.

The Australian actor stopped by Jimmy Fallon the other night to talk about “Rush,” in which he plays a Formula 1 driver and, of course, the talk show host came up with just the thing to put all those skills he picked up on the movie set to good use.

Check it out in the video below.

Fallon provided two kiddie go-kart cars for himself and Chris, and set up a race in the studio. Obstacles were included and also an official finishing line.

The winner was named “champion” and got to go home with the pride of knowing he’d won one of the most silly looking contests ever on TV. But boy was it fun.

Whether by chance or because Fallon let him on purpose, Chris won.
