Watching Chris Hemsworth’s Shirtless Workout Made Me Sweat

If you thought ‘Thor’ could hurl a hammer, check out shirtless Avengers star Chris Hemsworth sling some weights around in a grassy field. Now, to be fair, there’s a very good reason why Hemsworth is shirtless. You see, it spontaneously burst into flames. “It was so hot my shirt literally burst into flames,” wrote Hemsworth. “Luckily I was wearing my favourite pair of fire retardant shorts.” “Give this circuit a go 6 times through Centrfit,” he added referencing his fitness app which boasts training programs and tips from Hemsworth’s own fitness team. The circuit consists of bent-over rows, a farmer’s carry, bicep curls combined with overhead press, and topped off with a sprint. Do that six times and we’re pretty sure we’d burst into flames as well.

The post has been liked over 3.2 million times at this writing. The 36-year-old actor is known for sharing his circuit workouts via Instagram. Last month, Hemsworth shared this challenging bit of gym time wrestling some iron with trainers Luke Zocchi and Jorge Blanco. Now, when the god of thunder is out of breath, you know it’s intense.

We may (or may not) have seen the final Avengers movie with Avengers: Endgame, but Hemsworth will return as the thunder god in Thor: Love and Thunder in 2021. One thing is for sure: Hemsie is definitely going to be in tip-top, god-like shape. Here’s one more workout from our hero – this one is called the Devil’s Workout. I’d get sweaty with these guys, how about you?

Tyler Hoechlin & Colton Haynes Star In Upcoming Film “Bigger”

(screen capture from upcoming film “Bigger”)

Check out the official trailer for Bigger, the new biopic that chronicles the lives of Joe and Ben Weider, who rose from poverty to become the indisputable leaders in the bodybuilding industry for over 50 years.

Former Teen Wolf co-stars Tyler Hoechlin (as Joe Weider) and Colton Haynes (as TV fitness guru Jack LaLanne) head up the cast.

Weider and his brother Ben (played by Aneurin Barnard) are widely credited with creating the modern bodybuilding/fitness movement.

From their fitness publishing empire that included Muscle & Fitness, Muscle Power and Shape magazines to Weider Nutrition founded in 1936, to founding the International Federation of Bodybuilders in 1946, the Weiders were THE leading force in fitness in decades.

In 1967, the IFBB launched its first competition, the world-renowned Mr. Olympia.

Weider also discovered and mentored the young Arnold Schwarzenegger for years in the early 1970s.

It wasn’t all muscle-bound glory, though. In the 1970s and 1980s, the brothers found themselves the target of several investigations regarding claims of false advertising about their products.

Haynes’ character, Jack LaLanne, became famous as America’s first TV fitness star in the 1950s, long before Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda thought about ‘feeling the burn.’

LaLanne’s TV show, running from 1953 to 1985, championed regular exercise and nutrition.

Writer/director Joe Gallo (Bad Boys, Midnight Run) described the film to Deadline as “beyond inspirational, and will resonate with not only the massive crowd of those who have found the balance of body and mind as essential for a healthy life but also the throngs of people that were inspired by Joe and his Mr. Olympia events.”

The flick also stars Julianne Hough as “Betty Weider,” Instagram celeb/bodybuilder Calum Von Moger as “Arnold Schwarzenegger,” and Billy Reilich (Ellen’s TV ‘gardener’) as English bodybuilder “Reg Park.”

Bigger arrives in theaters October 12.

Such a great night with my family and friends to celebrate all the hard work everyone put into this film! By far the most challenging thing I’ve taken on in my time working as an actor, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the effort and support from everyone on this set. Can’t wait for everyone (who wants to haha) to see this film. It’s a great story about a man who wasn’t afraid to be different, to pursue his passion, and who showed persistence in the face of adversity. Also about the amazing woman standing next to him who showed him what love truly was. And a special thank you to @juleshough for doing such a beautiful job portraying Betty, and always being present in every moment of telling the story of these people. Thank you Jules for making this movie what it is. Wouldn’t have worked without you. And to my brother @aneurin.b for playing my brother on screen, and also becoming one off set for the weeks we spent filming. I miss you Taff, you’re one of the good ones. Thanks everyone! #BiggerTheMovie October 12th! And per usual, to my friends at @johnvarvatos for making sure I didn’t show up in gym gear (which may have been appropriate for this one, who knows).

Playgirl Makes Offer To Hot NYC Cop Who Broke The Internet

The New York Daily News reports that Miguel Pimentel, the New York City Sheriff’s deputy who broke the internet last week with his sexy hotness has received an offer from Playgirl Magazine.

“He’s expressed interest in meeting and talking about it,” Playgirl spokesman Daniel Nardicio exclusively told the Daily News. “It would have to be full frontal.”

Nardicio said the website would match Pimentel’s salary, estimated to be about $44,744 without overtime, for a sexy cop-themed shoot.

“The audience is gay men and straight women and he appeals to both — he’s masculine and very New York,” said Nardicio.

Pimentel, who has a steady girlfriend (sorry, ladies), did not return requests for comment. His partner in love is reportedly already upset about all the attention Pimentel is getting from admirers.

I’m sure it’s not going to happen.

Darn it.
