Here are some new photos of Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl at the German premiere of Rush over the weekend. I have to admit, I’m finally coming on board the Hemsworth train. Who knew it only took a haircut and some hair dye? Chris just looks so much more attractive with shorter, darker hair. The long blonde Thor-locks just make him look like Fabio.
What is interesting to me is that Chris really did promote Rush – he did a big promotional push overseas and it’s become increasingly clear that for Chris (and perhaps for Hollywood), Rush represents Chris’s big chance to be a proper film actor outside of comic book movies. So, how did Rush do with the American box office in its first weekend of wide release? Not all that great. Rush made $10.3 million and came in #3 in the North American box office, meaning that Americans still aren’t all that interested in Formula One, especially when we have NASCAR. That being said, it’s not all bad news – the film got solid-to-good reviews and Thor: The Dark World will probably make crazy money, so Chris will survive.
Meanwhile, Chris is still making $$$ and nowadays he doesn’t have to pretend to still be happy with a low-key, California-bohemian lifestyle, which is what he and Elsa Pataky were selling just last year. Chris and Elsa have just purchased an $4.8 million Malibu estate – you can see photos of the place here. It’s “over 6,000 sq. ft. with five bedrooms, a library and a state of the art kitchen. The large property also has stunning ocean views.” Chris bought it from Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee!!). Welcome to the big leagues, Chris.
PS… Is Daniel Bruhl’s girlfriend wearing the exact same dress as Christina Hendricks?!
