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.”
