“I was told I wasn’t going to get the part at the time, so I was happy for him, maybe a little jealous, but I was happy for him,” Chris explained. “Then when I got to audition again, he was out of the running.”

“So we were never on the same page,” Chris clarified. “Either I was involved, then I wasn’t, then he was involved, then he wasn’t, then I was involved.”

Chris Hemsworth as Thor

As the lie detector test continued, Chris was asked if there had ever been a role of his brother that he would have liked to play himself.

“No, no,” Chris assured the interviewer. But the interviewer quickly added: “Not even The last song?”

This made the actor laugh.”The last song? (laughs) No,” said Chris. “His life would be very different, wouldn’t it?”

The polygraph examiner subsequently reported that his answer was “inconclusive,” leading him to confirm that he did not want to star in the 2010 romantic drama.
