The Hemsworth brothers have all conquered Hollywood, with Chris leading the Marvel cinematic universe as Thor, Liam taking a leading role in The Hunger Games and Luke starring in Westworld.
The trio all grew up together in Australia and had a close bond growing up, even if it involved plenty of friendly "fist fights" and roughhousing. Nowadays, their bond is much different, although the brothers still enjoy some rivalry. "Get us at home, playing cricket or football or surfing or something, and yeah, there's a great rivalry there — a very healthy one," Chris once told Entertainment Tonight.

Luke Hemsworth
Born on 5 November 1980, Luke is the eldest of the Hemsworth siblings and is also the one who made his acting debut first, appearing as Nathan Tyson in hit Australian soap opera Neighbours.
Despite this, Luke didn't take up acting as his professional career for many years, instead starting his own flooring company. He told Entertainment Tonight: "I wanted to have something that could provide money while still allowing time for auditions. So, I learned the flooring business, started my own, and in that time, got married and had a couple of kids."

Luke's return to the big screen has been a success with the actor making his film debut in 2014 with The Reckoning. He has since appeared in Encounter, Hicock and had cameo appearances in two of his younger brother's Thor films: Ragnarok and Love and Thunder. His main role, however, came as Luke Stubbs in hit show Westworld, playing the character from 2016 until the show's cancellation in 2022.

"But it's fun to be supportive. It's fun to learn lines with them. It's not like we're not critical of each other, that's for sure."

Luke and Liam have acted with each other, with the brothers teaming up thriller Land of Bad.

Speaking to People about his family life, Luke said: "There's not a day where I don't laugh at them and with them. They're crazy and they’re mental and they're hard work but I do love them. I love spending time with them."
Chris Hemsworth
Born on 11 August 1983, Chris is the middle child of the Hemsworth siblings and arguably the most famous with the star having had a leading role in the Marvel cinematic universe as Thor.
However, Chris nearly lost the role to his younger brother, Liam. Speaking to the Wire in 2016, the actor admitted: "I think my audition sucked. They were like, 'Look, [Liam is] great, but he's a bit young.' My manager then said, 'Well, he does have an older brother,' which was me.

Chris made his acting debut in 2002 in Guinevere Jones as King Arthur, however one of his breakout roles was on Australian soap opera Home & Away, playing "hunky high school dropout" Kim Hyde between 2004 and 2007.

He has also appeared in The Cabin in the Woods, biographical film Rush and had substantial roles in major franchises ranging from Ghostbusters to Men in Black to Mad Max and Transformers.
In 2010, Chris had a whirlwind romance with Spanish model and actress Elsa Pataky with the pair marrying each other months after meeting. The couple have since welcomed daughter India and twin sons Tristan and Sasha.
Liam Hemsworth
Born on 13 January 1990, Liam is the youngest of the Hemsworth brothers and has been open about the roughhousing that went on between his siblings growing up. He joked in 2012 to Conan O'Brien: "That was how we did it in our house, 'Hey, man, good to see you, here's a punch in the face for you.'"
Despite their fights growing up, Liam has revealed how close the brothers are and says that older brother Chris is his "hero". Speaking to GQ he revealed how he "looks" up to the Thor star and seeks his advice when it comes to accepting roles.

Like Chris, Liam made his professional debut in Home & Away, but he also appeared in Neighbours as Josh Taylor. In 2009, he made his film debut in Knowing, two years before landing his breakout role as Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games franchise. Liam has since been in films like Empire State and Killerman.

In 2016, Miley confirmed that the pair were engaged again and the pair married on 23 December 2018. However, eight months later, Miley said the couple were separating and Liam filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences less than two weeks later. Their divorce was finalised in January 2020.
