Chris Hemsworth Broke His Thor Costume in a Terrible Muscle Accident

We gather here today to remember Chris Hemsworth's original Thor costume, which was mangled in an unthinkable flexing mishap on-set. The 27-year-old confessed to the Los Angeles Times that he couldn't fit into the tight togs thanks to his new hypermuscular frame. When will the torture for these over-pumped, under-loved thespians be over?

Said Hemsworth:

"I got the part and immediately started looking at the comic books, and the guy is 500 pounds or something and looks like Schwarzenegger. And I thought, 'OK, I'm not gonna get to that.' But I have to get bigger. [...] (The filmmakers) kept saying 'Yeah, get as big as you can, as big as you can.' And then I came back right before Christmas, just before we started the movie, and had a final sort of camera test and put the costume on and within a couple of minutes, my hands started going numb. And everyone was like, 'Yeah, that's not cool.' And I started getting pins and needles and you'd touch the skin and the blood wouldn't return to that area so quick. And I thought, 'OK, it doesn't fit'."

That'll teach producers to order Chris Hemsworth around. The same thing probably happened to Christopher Reeve in the Superman movies, and definitely to Marlon Brando.
