Chris Hemsworth did โ€œa lot of workโ€ to prepare for his nude scene in โ€˜Thor: Love and Thunderโ€˜.

The 38-year-old actor admits that shooting a nude scene for the Taika Waititi-directed movie felt like a natural evolution for the character โ€“ but Chris made sure he was in tip-top shape before taking his clothes off.

The actor โ€“ who stars alongside Natalie Portman in the new movie โ€“ told โ€˜Entertainment Tonightโ€™: โ€œI mean, it was kind of 10, 11 years in the making, that shot.

โ€œIn each film weโ€™ve taken off another item of clothing, and now we just kind of took it all off.โ€

Chris โ€“ who embarked on an intense fitness plan before shooting the movie โ€“ admits the director was the driving force behind the scene.

Asked what made him reprise the character for the new Marvel movie, Chris joked: โ€œObviously a contractual obligation. If it was my choice it wouldnโ€™t have happened!โ€

Chris has played Thor for more than a decade, and the Hollywood star previously confessed to over-training in the early years.

Chris explained that his intense workout regime actually had a detrimental impact on his energy levels.

He shared: โ€œFor years I probably over-trained.

โ€œPeople who do muscle-building often donโ€™t realise itโ€™s a sport that shouldnโ€™t be seven days a week, two hours a day. I was doing that in the previous Thors, and was coming up sorer, with less energy.โ€

Chris actually adopts an athlete-like approach to his preparation โ€“ but he ultimately finds the experience to be โ€œincredibly rewardingโ€.

He said: โ€œThe training across ten years of doing it is a full-time job. That and then a 12-hour shooting day โ€“ itโ€™s real grind. Itโ€™s incredibly rewarding, too โ€“ you have to look at it like a professional athlete.โ€
