Chris Hemsworth is more popular than ever thanks to back-to-back hits as Thor with "Thor: Ragnarok" in 2017 and "Avengers: Infinity War."

But in an alternate world, there might be a different Hemsworth playing the god. The middle Hemsworth brother (all three are actors) had to compete against his brother Liam for the role of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

But the brothers have a fun, professional sibling rivalry that doesn't interfere with their relationship.

Chris Hemsworth got his start on Australian soap operas and was cast on "Dancing with the Stars Australia." From there, he moved to the US and was swept up in Hollywood and cast as James Kirk's father in the 2009 "Star Trek" reboot. Hemsworth quickly rose to stardom from there.

But he's not all about his career. He is also an ambassador for an Australian children's charity, and takes great pride in how many Thor hammers he owns.

Find out where Hemsworth grew up, how many Thor hammers he has in his bathroom, and more below:

Hemsworth was born in 1983 in Melbourne, Australia, and eventually moved to the rural Phillip Island off the southern coast of Australia. His mom is a teacher and his dad is a counselor.
