14 DAY TRIAL // The brothers Chris and Liam Hemsworth are, right now, one of Australia’s hottest exports and among Hollywood’s most bankable actors. Even though they’re everywhere and they don’t really look alike, some people, including representatives of the media, have issues in telling them apart.
Chris Hemsworth is blonde and tall and is known to audiences as God of Thunder Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Liam Hemworth is younger, tall and of a more slender build, with darker hair and blue eyes. He’s Gale in “The Hunger Games” franchise.
In a recent interview, Chris talked about how much he hated it when people mistook him for his brother or even called him out on the street by his name. Apparently, this also happens to Liam a lot, or at least enough times to make him lose his cool when he thinks someone’s called him by “Chris.”
Liam was in San Diego for the Comic-Con 2015 some hours ago, doing press for the final chapter in “The Hunger Games” saga, which will be out in theaters later this year. Chris Eggertsen of HitFix thought it would be a good idea to introduce himself before asking his question, but Liam only heard “Chris” of his introduction and assumed it was meant for him.
You can see his reaction in the first video below; hint: he lost his cool and made it clear that he found it very unpleasant to be called by his brother’s name.
The second video is of Liam back in pro mode, after the misunderstanding was cleared. He hasn’t seen “Game of Thrones” yet apparently, but is determined to “commit” to it.
