New photos of Chris at the Australians in Film Breakthrough Awards held on May 13, 2010 were added to the gallery earlier this morning. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m kind of liking the facial hair that Chris has been sporting of late. I usually don’t like facial hair of any kind on anyone, but I think it works quite well on him.

And while Thor’s outfit appears to be taken directly from the recent “Thor” run by J. Michael Straczynski and Olivier Coipel, the costume was extremely uncomfortable, according to Hemsworth.
