Did Chris Hemsworth receive a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019? Actor shares "funny story" at his 2024 ceremony

As Chris Hemsworth received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 23, 2024, his cast members of Avengers joined him, along with his whole family. However, while talking to Variety after the ceremony, he revealed how he thought back in 2019 that he was getting a Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“In 2019, I and other Avengers: Endgame cast members put our handprints in cement outside the TCL Chinese Theater. I thought that was the Walk of Fame. So when we did it, I thought, Oh cool, I'm getting a star. However, that's not what was happening. I went along with it like I completely knew what was happening. It was kind of afterwards, I was like, So where's the star? And someone told me, No, that's not what this is."

Recalling the incident, Chris Hemsworth jokingly stated how it was his “second attempt in some ways.”

Chris Hemsworth’s Walk of Fame ceremony came in with the release of his new movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, in which he plays the role of Dementus. The movie had its world premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on May 15, 2024, and was later released globally on May 23, 2024.

She thinks Six Flags and theme parks are cool, anyway.”

However, upon further inspection, he has a true-blue wit, and he has a depth of soul, and it has been my sincere pleasure to know you these many years. You keep us Hollywood folks on our toes because you're just a real dude."
