Well hello Mr. Hemsworth! Chris Hemsworth covers the new issue of GQ and this is just a gorgeous editorial – go here to see the slideshow. Some black & white pics, some color, his hair is a good length and his muscles look boss. And I’m saying that as a woman who doesn’t really get hot for Chris. He’s just not my type, I guess. Or he’s just too “obvious” a beefcake, but I’ll admit, I lingered on the photos. Anyway, Chris is promoting Blackhat, that cyber-crime movie which looks sort of awful. You can read the full interview here (the magazine will be on newsstands the 23rd). Some highlights:

“The fame, the parties, the women—I did that stuff back home,” Chris Hemsworth tells GQ’s David Katz of settling down. “I got away with a lot more over there,” he says. “Then I came here”—to film 2010’s Ca$h—“and sort of started over.”

Hemsworth says that having a family was the last thing he did that really scared him. “I’m good, man,” he says of his diaper-changing skills. How quickly can he change one? “Depends on how messy it is. Sometimes you gotta give ’em a hose-down.”

Hemsworth admits that he’s protective over little brother Liam. “I’ve watched Liam do things I did at his age, like being in relationships he shouldn’t be in, or being reckless just to prove a point. And I had no empathy. My mom had to remind me I was the same way.”

Hemsworth says his older brother Luke would give him a hard time when he was starting out, too—and that it may have saved his career. “Back when I was still on the soap, I became incredibly insecure and full of anxiety because I didn’t know if I was any good. I spent years being angsty, constantly telling people I wasn’t just part of a soap opera, that I was a real artist. And I remember Luke sort of snapping, telling me to shut up, that he was sick of hearing it.” He credits Luke for pulling him out of his head and making him a less self-conscious actor. That, and Dancing with the Stars. Hemsworth competed on the Aussie version in 2006, finishing fifth. “After that show, I could never pull the serious, self-important card again.”

Hemsworth’s buddy and fellow actor Matt Damon also makes a cameo in the story. “We became friends around the time I started to work, and I’ve really benefited from watching how he handles himself,” Hemsworth says of Damon. “Matt’s just a normal guy who has the movie-star thing figured out.” Damon lends Hemsworth and Katz bikes and sunglasses for their mountain-biking adventure.

At the end of the interview, they head back to Damon’s house, where Hemsworth makes Katz breakfast. “Today started with me introducing you to my friend, then a bike ride, then cooking you pancakes,” Hemsworth says. “I think this is the most romantic interview I’ve ever done.”

Yeah, I skimmed the first page of the interview online, and it didn’t really seem like Hemsworth was telling all about his life and his family. He’s just a movie star on the rise, with a growing brood and press commitments. The most interesting thing to me is what he says about Liam: “I’ve watched Liam do things I did at his age, like being in relationships he shouldn’t be in…” Totally about Miley Cyrus, I’m assuming. That’s Liam’s only major relationship and it was such a mess. But remember, back then, Liam was really young, just like Miley. They shouldn’t have been in such a serious relationship. Chris is right. But Liam had to learn that for himself.
