Chris Hemsworth To Move To The UK? 'London Is My Second Home'

Chris Hemsworth has been jetting around the world promoting his new movie Thor: The Dark World, but there is one place he still holds dear to his heart - our very own London

The Aussie actor's main base is in Los Angeles with his wife Elsa Pataky and adorable little girl India Rose, but it sounds like Chris is keen on spending even more time in London, where a lot of scenes from The Dark World were shot.

Speaking to Collider.com, he said: ''London is kind of becoming that way [my second home]. It's just the last few films have been kind of rolled into one another. It's a great place to work. There are some of the best crews in the world, brilliant locations and it's nice to get out of LA and go somewhere different.''

In between walking red carpets around Europe for Thor, Chris is back and forth to the UK at the moment as he shoots Ron Howard's new drama Heart of the Sea. Reuniting with his Rush director, Chris leads the film which is based on the novel by Nathaniel Philbrick, telling the true story that inspired Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.

Before we get to see Chris all at sea, female fans will be pleased to know that the hunky actor engages in a sexy scene in The Dark World, where he goes shirtless!

However Chris insists the stunt, devised by his director Joss Whedon, actually served a dramatic purpose other than simply making female viewers drool.

“That [scene] kind of came from Joss actually. He just said that there needed to be something romantic in there," he explained to MTV.

The 30-year-old actor admits he was left slightly bemused by the suggestion but quickly obliged as he continued: “Then he said, 'Chris, get your shirt off.' I said, 'Well, I don't know. Why? What are we doing?' The justification was that it was him coming home from battle, washing blood off his hands. It is what it is. How to weigh into that without sounding like an idiot?"

Thor: The Dark World opens in UK cinemas on October 30.
