Meet Luke Hemsworth: Chris And Liam Hemsworth's Lesser-Known Brother
Chris and Liam Hemsworth — these are names that people often hear everywhere. But there is one more Hemsworth not so many know of and his name is Luke.
Chris and Liam are often placed under the spotlight in the Hollywood industry making them one of the most sought celebrities for entertainment headlines, and with the rise to stardom, people are becoming curious about the other Hemsworth.
Well then, let’s go ahead and meet Luke Hemsworth.
Who is Luke Hemsworth?
Luke Hemsworth was born on November 5, 1981 making him the eldest among the Hemsworth brothers. Chris, 35, was born on August 11, 1983 and Liam, 29, was born on January 13, 1990. Luke is the shortest among the Hemsworth brothers, standing at 5 feet 11 inches while both Chris and Liam stand at around 6 feet 3 inches.
He was born in Melbourne, Australia but he is of English, Irish, Scottish, German and Dutch descent. His grandfather from the maternal side was a Dutch immigrant, The Famous People reported.
What is it like for him to be the eldest amongst the Hemsworth brothers?
Luke Hemsworth is very supportive to his brothers. He ensures that he accompanies them to movie premiers —that on top of being their fitness trainer.
The eldest Hemsworth, in fact, joined his brother, Chris, at The TLC Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, Monday, for the premiere of Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood,” Metro reported.
His two siblings did not get along well growing up, so their parents would separate them. Luke would look after Liam while Chris went with his uncle, Celebrity XYZ reported.
What did he do before embarking his journey to Hollywood?
Luke Hemsworth was — still is— into acting. He was the one who inspired his brothers to take the same path.
He attended the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Melbourne and did “Neighbours” in 2001. His acting career was only within Australia until recently, Refinery 29 reported.
His focused changed not long after. He learned the flooring business, established his own and started a family, ET exclusively reported. He is married to Samantha Hemsworth and they were blessed with four children, namely: Alexandre, Ella, Harper Rose and Holly.
How did he get to Hollywood?
Chris Hemsworth paved the way by helping Luke relocate to Los Angeles and hiring him as fitness trainer while filming “Thor: The Dark World.”
Luke experienced many rejections in the Hollywood industry and reportedly contemplated on going back to Australia but Chris convinced him to stay.
When did he get his big break?
It’s no longer Luke Hemsworth — the brother of “Thor” and “The Hunger Games” superstars— rather, it’s Luke the star of the famous sci-fi series “Westworld.”
He said that a job in Hollywood would not be handed to you just because you were someone’s brother. He had to fight to get a role in “WestWorld.” He portrays the role of Ashley Stubbs but he revealed that before bagging the character, he auditioned for other roles, Independent reported.
