When was chris hemsworth on dancing with the stars

While Hemsworth's career has been synonymous with the Asgardian god and superhero, the actor's appearance on Dancing With the Stars Australia almost cost him the iconic role. In an interview with PopCulture , celebrity choreographer Derek Hough revealed that Hemsworth was newly cast as the next big Marvel superhero when the studio's execs saw a video of their Thor prospect dancing the Samba in the reality show.
