Actor Luke Hemsworth has credited brother and "Thor" star Chris for helping him realise his dream to shift to LA by hiring him as a fitness trainer.
Luke began his acting career in 2001 with a role on popular soap "Neighbours" in their native Australia, and in his down time, he launched a side gig, a flooring company, to help support his family.
His younger brothers Chris and Liam subsequently found fame in Hollywood, and their success piqued Luke's interest in getting back to acting full-time.
However, it wasn't until Chris handed him a lucrative job as his trainer on the set of 2013 "Thor" sequel "The Dark World" that the father-of-four was able to fund his family's relocation to Los Angeles, reported Entertainment Tonight.
"I didn't have any qualifications, but I was always heavily into training, so it was a no-brainer for me. It was an amazing setup and allowed me to save enough money to come here with my family, which was the next logical step. Without that, we just wouldn't have been able to afford to do it," Luke said.
