Where was Chris Hemsworth born?

Chris Hemsworth was born in Melbourne, Australia, on August 11, 1983. The city is the capital of the state of Victoria and is one of Australia’s major cultural and entertainment centers.

Although Hemsworth was born in Melbourne, he did not spend all of his childhood there. His family later moved to the Northern Territory, where he experienced a very different rural environment, before eventually settling on Phillip Island, south of Melbourne. That mix of city and outback influences is often mentioned in accounts of his early life.

Hemsworth began his acting career in Australian television, including a role as Kim Hyde in the soap opera Home and Away. He later became internationally famous as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A common mix-up is confusing his birthplace with his childhood homes or with the birthplace of one of his brothers: actors Luke and Liam Hemsworth were also born in Melbourne.
