2012: The Year of Hemsworth

This may come as a surprise to nobody but me - what with their surnames being quite unique and exactly the same - but I've just learned that Chris Hemsworth (Thor) is big brother to rising star Liam Hemsworth whose portrayal of Gale in next month's release of The Hunger Games is sure to send him into stardom.

Liam and other brother Luke were both at one time in hit Australian soap Neighbours while Chris was in Home and Away.

This year, as well as starring in The Hunger Games, Liam Hemsworth will be in The Expendables 2 alongside every action heavyweight in cinema today. Chris will be starring in Snow White and the Huntsman, The Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers.

Not bad for one year - and certainly not at all bad for one family.
