Chris Hemsworth Praises Russell Crowe’s Zeus
In a recent interview with Disney, Chris Hemsworth opened up about Russell Crowe’s Zeus and praised the actor’s performance in the film. He had this to say:“I never thought I’d see the day where Russell would appear on screen with hints at ‘Gladiator’ imagery, yet with a wink—totally self-deprecating. He didn’t hold back. I’m such a fan. I have been since I first started acting.”
Hemsworth continued:“…There’s such a weight and a seriousness to his performances and to him, as an individual, from afar. But meeting him, he has a great sense of humor and did whatever Taika asked on set, which was mind-blowing. And it was really fun to play with the mythology, going from Norse to Greek mythology — Taika pulls all these worlds together.”

Natalie Portman, who plays Jane Foster in the film added: “It was so much fun to see Russell Crowe play Zeus and have such a great sense of humor with the character. It was fun to see him be silly. I think we’re so used to him in these very strong, heroic roles, so it was fun to see him be able to let loose.”

Needless to say, fans are very excited to see the film. The performances by the stars look promising.
