Chris Hemsworth spent more than a decade building the body of a Norse god. Seven days a week, two hours a day, with pain piling up workout after workout. And after all that sacrifice, he heard something that threw him off.

In an interview with The Telegraph, the Australian actor dropped the phrase that sums up his frustration: “Bodybuilding and fitness are seen as things for vain people”. Meanwhile, colleagues such as Christian Bale and Jared Leto are celebrated as acting geniuses every time they lose weight drastically for a role.

The question Hemsworth left hanging is simple: why does taking care of your body cost you credibility, while destroying it adds to it? 🤨💭
