According to lead actor Chris Hemsworth,Thor: Love and Thundermay be a“wacky”movie, but the true hijinks took place off-screen. Jane Foster is back, but Natalie Portman now has new abilities thanks to her role as Mighty Thor. While Tessa Thompson returned to the role of warrior Valkyrie, the actress worked out“hard”in the gym with Hemsworth to play the superhero. But outside of the gym, the“Thor”actors grew even more competitive.

Tessa Thompson Beat Chris Hemsworth in Ice Bath Challenge

Chris Hemsworth revealed to Entertainment Tonight that during on-set exercises, he battled against Thompson, who portrays Valkyrie. Hemsworth said he sought to defeat Thompson because she started spending more time in ice baths, which are used to rejuvenate after the workout.

“That was the real test of strength,” Hemsworth said. “I’d done it a bit, but I sort of was keeping my time in there to a minute or two, and [Tessa] came in the first day and did 3½ minutes. So then we all had to try and do three minutes.”

“Chris, I learned, was competing with me over ice baths and he was really clocking the amount of time that I was spending in the ice bath. I was not competing with him. I was competing with myself, but it turns out that in competing myself, I beat him by a minute. That’s a good reminder that you are the only competition that you should concentrate on.”
