Being Thor isn't easy. Chris Hemsworth had to eat 16 meals a day when he trained for his Avenger's character.

The 32-year-old actor recently revealed that his preparations to play the hammer-wielding superhero are extreme and as he's getting older, he can't withstand the rigorous of training the way he used to, reports News24.com.

Hemsworth said that when he is the normal weight range it's fine and he enjoys training, but for Thor, everything is to the extreme.

He added that he eats 16 meals a day and lifts as heavy as he can, but over the ears a person's shoulder can't lift what it once could.

The actor lived on just 500 calories a day to play a starving seafarer in 'In the Heart of the Sea' and he admitted it made him feel like shit and he was constantly moody and agitated.
