    Chris Hemsworth initially felt "very intimidated" to work with Halle Berry in 'Crime 101'

    The 41-year-old actor has admired the 58-year-old actress' work for "many, many years", and he added that she brought a "comfort level", which put him at ease and made him love "every second" of the experience


    The 'Thor: Love and Thunder' star told E! News: "I've admired Halle's work for many, many years, and I was, honestly, very intimidated to sit opposite her within the scene and try and not just be in awe of what she was doing.

    "People bring out - not just the best in you, but also a comfort level where it does feel like it's a place to explore and a place to examine different ideas and try different things.

    "And that was the experience. I loved every second of it."

    The 41-year-old actor left a lasting impression on Halle after he "stood up" for her while they were making the action-thriller. She added to the outlet: "This is one of my new favourite people in the whole wide world, truly ... I won't go into it now, but he stood up for me in a moment in our movie, and I instantly knew right then I'm going to follow this guy, be a fan of this guy for the rest of my life because he stood up for a woman.

    "He stood up for a woman that he didn't have to do that, and he did it."

    Chris previously admitted that George Miller's 'Mad Max' movie inspired him to seek out a career in Hollywood.

    He stars in the post-apocalyptic franchise's prequel movie 'Furiosa' and explained how Miller's work and the presence of Mel Gibson in the 1979 original "created the bridge" for Australians to succeed in Hollywood.

    Speaking in conversation with filmmaker Baz Luhrmann at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, Chris said: "I remember watching 'Mad Max' and have vivid memories of its messaging and the type of storytelling.

    "It was a sort of iconic Australian vision, but post-apocalyptic and had this universal appeal.

    "And then later on getting into acting and the fact that Mel Gibson was in the film as a young actor and created the bridge for a lot of Australians to go to America."
