About this episode
Luke Hemsworth shares what it was really like growing up in the middle of nowhere Australia with brothers Chris and Liam, and how building “Hemsworth death traps,” dodging danger, and discovering movies from random VHS drops helped launch three global acting careers! He talks about the pressure of following Chris into Hollywood, getting fired early on because his accent “wasn’t New York enough,” and how that setback pushed him to master American accents for roles like his new film Beast. Luke also breaks down Beast, working with Russell Crowe, the brutal MMA realism, and why the fight scenes feature little to no stunt doubles. He dives into his breakout run on Westworld, what it’s like going toe-to-toe with Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris, and the lessons he took from watching them work up close. Plus, stories from Neighbours, shooting in extreme conditions from Thailand to Thunder Bay, and whether a Hemsworth brothers project will ever actually happen
