Ellen DeGeneres later progressed to showcase a cute photo of Chris Hemsworth along with an animal. Chris Hemsworth later went on to explain that it was a quokka and is part of the Kangaroo family. Quokkas, although not considered endangered, are an ecologically vulnerable species. He let it slip that the animals are nocturnal in nature meaning they are active at night. As the photo was taken during the day, it was clear that someone had ruined their sleep schedule.

“But you said it yourself that they’re nocturnal. Why were you bothering it during the day, if they’re nocturnal?” asked Ellen DeGeneres. Here’s what the Thor: Ragnarok actor had to say for his answer,

“I mean, social media, you know, it comes at a price”

The conversation continued on with Chris Hemsworth and his love for animals along with some hilarious photoshopped photos that Ellen wanted Chris Hemsworth to put on his profile picture.

It was recently revealed that following the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the MCU, Chris Hemsworth’s record of portraying Thor for 11 years will get broken. Hugh Jackman picked up the adamantium claws of Wolverine back in 2000 which will significantly increase his years as Wolverine and as the longest-playable superhero.
