hi I’m manay joy and I’m Chris Emsworth and this is the wired AO complete interview yeah I just did Transformers I did Optimus Prime no what that’s sick bring me Shy aboss where’s Megan Fox hello how was Ty Joy discovered I was walking my dog and a car started chasing me and I picked up my dog straight up so like at the time my parents had been watching a lot of 24 and so in my head when I was like walking down the street with my dog I was like ah maybe that car is chasing me but maybe it’s not and then I picked up pace and the car did start chasing me and then this guy stuck his head out the window and said if you stop you won’t regret it and I stopped and it was a modeling agency but at the end of that conversation they were like never do that again yeah W don’t know what the moral the story is here like definitely don’t stop but worked out for me do but don’t how good oh no how good Chris you’re too aggressive with it someone some super GL you how how good is an Taylor Joy at chess so I was quite good when we were filming and then you know that short-term memory part of your brain where you store all the stuff that you’re supposed to do for film and TV I had to fill it with other things so I I filled it with cranky black and this and that and whatever but I do want to get back into it we should have a chess game we should no I’m not I used to play chess as a kid but really not So Much Anymore how does an tell the joy cry on Q can you cry on Q I can cry on Q um I also had a nose bleed on Q once which was really purp crazy it was supposed to happen in the scene and then when it was supposed to happen in the scene I had a nose bed yeah for real wow it was really crazy I once had somebody tell me um that the best way to remember lines was to have the right thoughts and if you having the right thoughts and the right thing to say would naturally come and so I feel like when you’re crying like that it just naturally the emotion takes you there so is it you have to think of something sad or is it like no physical it cannot it cannot be about my own life I made that mistake on my first movie I um spent the whole day like prepping for this really emotional scene and I just thought of like terrible things for 7 hours straight which is really not on camera so by the time that the scene came around I was like I I got nothing so yeah it has to be for the point of view of the character but how about you I’m curious um I feel like so many years of trying to manipulate emotions that my body’s like n it calls BS every time I try and do it so I hope the script gets me there and I hope it organically happens but I also more concentrate on whatever the emotion is and whatever I’m trying to say or do in the scene rather than actually cry how does and your tayor joy know Spanish it is my first language um so most of my family lives in Argentina my mom is half English half Spanish born in Africa I learned to speak English when I was 8 years old it’s one of the main questions for me how come Chris Hemsworth is so good at Spanish also just comes naturally all right yeah flip it oh it’s my turn yeah it’s your turn is Chris Hemsworth the villain in furiosa no just Kidd well I mean to be not in his own eyes yeah I mean I think he sort of Justified his actions through the lens of of of his version of how things are and he believes he’s doing what is appropriate and needed for his survival for himself but also for furiosa and the people the biker horde that he’s responsible for but yeah he’s not a nice guy who is Chris Hemsworth I’m going to say is it like related to who is Chris Hemsworth best friend besides you I’ve got two guys I work with that I’ve known since I was six and seven zaky and Aza I think you would have met Onie I was going to say your kids you’re a really great dad kids let’s do that one again in case they’re watching oh my kids of course and my and my wife and my wife kids and my wife um always been my best friends when was Chris Hemsworth okay on Dancing With the Stars you’re joking i’ be surprised it’s you’ve seen it which no I haven’t I watch it every day on set country totally lose respect for me wait wait wait wait the Australian version there’s only seven contestants can I watch this there’s only 10 people in the country is that okay you can watch it can I watch it what was your favorite kind of dance cuz there’s like different cast I’ve not seen it samb okay cool and then the Walts I I was I was really bad but I’m really excited it gave me um my fin to come to America it looks really scary to be honest with you like I can imagine it’s quite like stressful to go and perform in front of a bunch it was terrifying it also terrifying for you to watch probably you look away you’ll just be like no no show up and I’ll have a knowing look in my eye and be like hi Chris how far did you go on the show fifth I think that’s everyone remembers fifth place that was where I to get I didn’t want to get any higher I believe it just I didn’t want to upset anyone else I felt for the other contestant so it got to five and I was like I’m going to intentionally screw this up yeah who is Chris Hemsworth related to I knew it would come up a lot of people uh I have two brothers Luke and lamb your parents my parents the and C um my kids children yeah we kids we got cousins and grandparents and this’s a really wild question this one back to the dancing question back to the dancing okay and so T Ana Tyler Joy yes oh God I don’t know has Joy sing in last night yeah I did um yeah I it was really fun I got to sing it um Acappella in the movie Beautiful song called downtown and then Edgar had the Mad idea to just like bring me in and have me record a bunch of stuff and it was so much fun Anya total Joy imperative furiosa what’s a question question what’s I I will be playing her in uh a film that we are both in coming out May 23rd or May 24th depending on where you are that’s right so yeah any tell Joy Super Mario I’m also in that one yeah I’m Princess Peach yes it was so much fun I actually I got to go to Universal Studios the other day and bring a bunch of my friends and family and that was really really fun you like doing animation I do it’s hard work like I was really surprised I think the first time I ever did animation I threw up after the session cuz I’d just been screaming for like 7 hours any tell the joy Jack Jack Black I love him I very rarely get Star Struck and he was just huge for me cuz I love Tenacious D as a kid and so like I immediately just scream saying tribute at him and he was very cool about it I can’t imagine someone coming up to me and just singing at me and so I think he was a really good sport about it he’s awesome like him a lot good thank you are Chris Hemsworth eyes really that blue yeah yeah they are where is Limitless Chris hemworth filmed mostly in Australia so in America and then Norway I really want to go to Norway yeah I really want to go there why is Chris hemworth not playing Thor anymore cuz I’m playing dementus and professional right there I’ve played Thor what eight eight times now I think loved every second of

weirdly embarrassed when people tell me that they really like me and pey blinders because she’s awful I struggle watching me as Gina so when people are like oh you’re great in that show I’m like oh God you’ve seen me be terrible to people that show is a it was it was really really fun yeah here we go what languages does anato the joy speak speak in the Northman gosh you’re testing my memory here we created a form of old Slavic oh wow for me to be able to do spells and incantations in and it was really fun but also pretty crazy because you would show up to set and just be like screaming spells in a madeup language but I remember Ralph einerson who did the witch with me he was also on the boat where I was like doing my big one and I remember his eyes going like oh get out the way and I was like yes yeah cool I scared the big Yorkshire man yeah you guys have a good nod to the the Nordic realm I chose to just do an Australian accent with a bit of an English twang do it cuz you know they speak English in uh in the clouds is an you tell the joy I come off it dude it’s this is see see INE I am I am in Dune 2 and it was absolutely amazing it was like probably one of the coolest shooting experiences I’ve ever had really a yeah it was a skeleton crew den and I in the dunes in Namibia and it was awesome I loved it epic thanks love okay what is Chris Hemsworth max bench bench max bench not very good to be honest as it’s okay but I don’t I don’t buy it no because I don’t do a lot of accumulation of of of movement just time under detention you know had a lot of lot of push-ups 30 40

Her accent is an intruiging blend of middle America, received pronunciation and South Dublin.
this woman has no business covering her laugh, but does it anyway quite often if not everytime, seen on several interviews and events
You can tell that Chris is devoted to his family by the tatoos he has. All of it are about them. Not some weird fad or personal statement that he wanted to make, just things that represent them. As a father myself, I respect that.
they have like the least chemistry. i think they don’t agree on anything. it looks like they’re doing two different interviews. btw it makes sense thinking about their characters in Furiosa
Chris played Thor 7 times. I love how he doesn’t know that
I'll forever simp for Anya
Anya is a certified smokeshow. Furiously gorgeous.
People are looking for the next live action Princess Zelda, Anya says I'm right here.
Anya Taylor Joy should be in the Avengers
Anya has an inconsistent accent, which is honestly a Joy to listen to.
Anya would be my best friend lol
2:33 Australian Sounds
She’s gone age like fine wine i tell yeah
Chris and Anya are now only allowed to do films together because it's so much fun to watch them interact.
“You’re too aggressive with it” 😉
Anya Taylor Joy is very beautiful and an awesome actress
I'm just now realising Anya Taylor-Joy is in everything.
40kg dumbells. Bro i have a 95 kg bench max and i can barely do 32
I also embarrassed myself in front of Jack Black, and he cool to me too. I did not get famous though.
No mad max no care
I definitely love these two. They were amazing in furiosa.
Beth <3
She has never been "great at chess".
And if she thinks she is, she's delusional.
Hot people think they're great at everything…
The two most attractive people on the entire planet. They both look like when they were born they came out air brushed.
I bet Anya Taylor-Joy will play Harley Quinn one day.
Couple slick Satan stars on Chris' arm there… 😈😱
The more I watch movies and shows starring Anya Taylor Joy the more impressed I am with her as an actor. She is absolutely brilliant in Furiosa.✨️👌

Chris hemsworth was an absolute hoot as dementus in Furiosa, it was great to see him in a different role than the ultra-competent and typically lovable hero role he plays in all his other movies
never trust people who can cry on cue, thats not normal, thats a whitelady defense mechanism they weaponized to get what they want, non white women have tried this too but they got slapped so they stopped. women are such dangerous creatures they can convince their bodies they're pregnant even when their bodies know they're not, no wonder she can also nose bleed on cue. Some sick individuals these white ladies
Girls, go walk your dog! Maybe you just might become famous 😂😅
