Chris Hemsworth considers a job on the Today Show if ‘acting doesn’t pan out’ 

He might be one of Hollywood’s most in demand actors, but Chris Hemsworth could be planning a career change. 

On Thursday, the 37-year-old joked on the Today show that if ‘acting doesn’t pan out’ he will consider a gig as their weatherman.  

During an interview with the actor, host Allison Langdon praised Chris for his weather-reading skills after he crashed Weekend Today weather presenter Lauren Phillip’s forecast last month. 

‘Looks like [Lauren] didn’t really need a hand. I just thought I’d interrupt and help out anyway,’ Chris responded.  

‘If this acting thing doesn’t work out, I’ll be knocking on the door.’ 

Allison added with a laugh: ‘You can be the Today show weather presenter. I would bump Tim [Davies] and Lauren off for that’. 

Chris surprised fans when he made an appearance on Weekend Today last month. 

The Thor star walked on-screen behind Lauren as she was about the read the weather from the New South Wales town of Scone.

Back in the studio, hosts Richard Wilkins and Rebecca Maddern were in shock to see Chris on screen.

Lauren then invited him to take over the segment and read the national weather forecast for viewers at home.

‘Let’s mispronounce all of these. Alright, let’s do this,’ he enthusiastically said.

The Avengers star injected his humour throughout his presentation and even gave a special shout out to Victorians in lockdown, saying: ‘Hello to all my friends in Melbourne. I am a Victorian.’

‘But that rain, get your brollies out I reckon,’ he suggested.

After the report, Lauren joked that the A-list star gave her a run for her money and could take her job, but he insisted that she was doing a ‘fantastic’ job. 

Chris revealed that he was in the small town at the time to visit people in the area doing important wildlife work and protecting Australia’s ecosystems.
