Dear Gossips,

I saw Thor: Love and Thunder the other day and as Sarah writes in her review, the movie is kind of all over the place but it’s also so much fun. Everyone looks like they’re having the best time, especially Tessa Thompson and Natalie Portman. And that’s been the energy throughout the press tour too. Is it just me or does it seem like it’s Tessa and Natalie carrying most of the promotion on this one? I’m asking because I wonder if that means anything for the Thor narrative going forward, which I’ll just leave there so as to not spoil anything for the people who haven’t seen it yet. Can we talk about it soon, though? Like in a week?

Anyway, we’re leading with Thor today because I saw an interview with Tessa and Natalie (via Vulture) that cracked me up. They were on CapitalFM together and the host of the show has “the biggest man crush” on Chris Hemsworth so he was asking Tessa and Natalie what Chris is like in real life, whether or not he has any flaws. They both said that Chris is a sweet guy, that even when he’s hangry he can be pretty sweet.

That’s the first sign that it always comes back to food with Chris Hemsworth. Because then Natalie told an anecdote about when they had to film a kiss scene:

“The day we had a kiss scene he didn’t eat meat that morning, because I’m vegan. And he eats meat like every half hour. Like, that was so thoughtful. That’s not something I’m angry about or care about, but he was just being thoughtful. He’s just a very nice person.”

LOL, “he eats meat like every half hour”… but there’s more, because this was news to Tessa who also has thoughts about Chris’s constant meating:

“I didn’t even know he could go without eating meat. He’s just like eating bison in the morning. That’s so sweet.”

How many pounds of meat does Chris Hemsworth consume in a day?! The internet has the answer for this: apparently when he’s being Thor, he eats eight meals a day, no more than three hours apart, for an average of 450 calories each meal which, evidently, includes a LOT of meat.

You know what image just popped into my head because it’s fresh… meat? Sorry, I can’t help it. But have you seen the shot of Flo Rida accessorising a $2000 Celine shirt with a tomahawk steak?!

Flo Rida is seen performing during "FOX & Friends" All-American Summer Concert Series at Fox News Channel Studios on July 08, 2022 in New York City

So many WTFs in one photo. Not sure what he’s doing performing at a FOX & Friends event. And also holding that f-cking steak like it’s a popsicle which is now how I imagine Chris Hemsworth walks around …but not before he has to film kissing scenes with Natalie Portman.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey
