In an interview with Variety on the red carpet of ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ last month, Chris Hemsworth opened up on the naked butt scene in the film. Sharing his excitement, he said, “Well, I had my butt out in Rush many years ago, but in a Marvel film, it was a very large screen, it was a very big pair of cheeks. I don't know, I've seen it before. Whatever”.
He also added, “It was 10 years in the making, that scene, a dream of mine. The first time I played Thor I took my shirt off and I thought, You know what's gonna sweeten this. A decade from now, it's all going to come off”.
