Chris Hemsworth thought he got a Walk of Fame star years ago and acted like he 'knew what was happening'

The "Furiosa" and "Thor" actor gets his actual Walk of Fame star on May 23.

Chris Hemsworth is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 23. However, at one point, he thought this had already happened.

In 2019, Hemsworth and other Avengers: Endgame cast members put their handprints in cement outside the TCL Chinese Theater. "I thought that was the Walk of Fame," Hemsworth told Variety. "So when we did it, I thought, 'Oh cool, I'm getting a star.'"

However, that's not what was happening. "I went along with it like I completely knew what was happening. It was kind of afterwards, I was like, 'So where's the star?'" he said. "And someone told me, 'No, that's not what this is.'"

As the Thor actor prepares for the release of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, George Miller's fifth Mad Max movie and the follow-up to Mad Max: Fury Road, he's getting an actual star on the Walk of Fame. "This is my second attempt in some ways," he said. "That's where my suspicion and uncertainty stems from."

The Australian actor says that the Walk of Fame holds special significance for him, having grown up watching American entertainment from afar.

"Anytime Hollywood or L.A. was displayed on screen, there would be a reference to the stars on the sidewalk," he says, calling the honor a "wild dream" that clashes with his imposter syndrome. "It's so positive and great and I'm honored. But then there's that part of you that says, 'It's not really happening. You dreamt that. Or they're tricking you."

While the accomplished actor may claim to have imposter syndrome, he's not nervous about defending his territory. He recently told the Times of London that he didn't care for the recent criticism of superhero movies from directors Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola.

“It felt harsh, and it bothers me, especially from heroes. It was an eye-roll for me, people bashing the superhero space,” Hemsworth said. “Those guys had films that didn’t work too — we all have. When they talked about what was wrong with superheroes, I thought, cool, tell that to the billions who watch them. Were they all wrong?”

He also said those great directors have misdiagnosed the cause of struggles for movie theaters. “Cinema-going did not change because of superheroes, but because of smartphones and social media,” he said. “Superhero films actually kept people in the cinemas during that transition and now people are coming back. So they deserve a little more appreciation.”

Hemsworth will get a little more appreciation on May 23 when he gets a star on the Walk of Fame (for the second time).
