Regarding the Super Bowl itself, Hemsworth clarified that they are not fervent fans, partly because they live in Australia where the event does not have the same cultural prominence as in the United States. He shared,
“We lived in America for a little while, but we’re not avid, obsessed fans. Especially living in Australia, it’s not as big a deal,”
Chris Hemsworth added,
“But I just love the event, and when we lived in America, friends of ours would host Super Bowl parties, and it’s pretty damn special. Whether or not you are rooting for one particular team or the other, it’s very hard not to be wrapped up in the spectacle of the event and the sheer talent that’s on display,”
