Chris Hemsworth is just as fantastic offscreen as the Marvel character he plays, per his co-stars -- even pulling away from his television news habit before acting out a sequence in which he kissed his vegan costar in "Thor  Love and Thunder," Natalie Portman. During an appearance on the UK radio series "Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp," actress Natalie Portman and costar Tessa Thompson discussed Hemsworth's kindness during a recent interview.
