Chris Hemsworth knows what it’s like to be pregnant apparently, and it’s basically just a large stomach and belly rubs by the sounds of it.

The Men in Black actor joked about his experience in a 40 kilogram silicon prosthetic fat suit for the Avengers: Endgame movie comparing it to how is wife must feel when pregnant.

Chris said: ‘It’s a silicon sort of prosthetic suit with a zip at the back, and at any moment people would come up and rub my stomach. I know how my wife [Elsa Pataky] feels now when she was pregnant!’

In an interview with Vulture, Avengers writer Christopher Markus explained how the conclusion that Thor’s personal issues would result in weight gain came about: ‘What is the end result of a guy who has lost so much and just blatantly failed?

‘We wondered, “Okay, well, what if he became a sort of depressive alcoholic?” And the weight gain was just part and parcel of that state of mind.

‘We didn’t go, “Let’s chunk him up, it’ll be hilarious”. And we leave him in that state at the end of the movie.’
