Appearing on the Australian radio show “Fitzy & Wippa” on Monday, Hanton said that while Hemsworth may have impressed fans with his body transformation for the next Marvel film, it was an exhaustive process behind the scenes.
“Everyone is like, ‘Wow, look at the size and he’, but I’m like, yes, shiny, now I have to put that size on too. I text him, like, ‘Thank you so much, this time it will be even more difficult! ”’Said the 33-year-old to the hosts.
Hanton, who first joined Hemsworth in “Thor: The Dark World” in 2013, went on to say that he now has no pleasure in eating because it is “full”.
“We eat every two hours. It has become a chore. I don’t like to eat every two hours.” he said of his regime.
Hanton added that while diet and training were “difficult for the body”, Hemsworth was “in shape like a violin”.
“I think carrying the extra weight is difficult and difficult to maintain in the ligaments,” he said. “But he is fine. Look at him, he is a mountain man.”
Hanton, who grew up in Portsmouth, UK, also doubled for actors like Henry Cavill, Ryan Reynolds, Channing Tatum and Jake Gyllenhaal. His film credits include “Mission: Impossible: Fallout”, “Quantum of Solace” and “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens”.
Hanton said he had to undergo back surgery after his double role in Hemsworth’s 2020 film “Extraction”, which featured a 12-minute “one shot” fight scene.
These death-defying acrobatics mean that the artist has struggled to get health and life insurance. “It is not easy to achieve,” he said.
