Hollywood star Natalie Portman recently revealed that her Thor: Love and Thunder co-star Chris Hemsworth was so considerate of her being a vegan that he purposely avoided eating meat before filming a kissing scene.
Ms Portman, who reprised her role as Jane Foster in the new Thor film, discussed Mr Hemsworth's gesture during a recent appearance on the UK radio series “Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp”. When grilled on whether Mr Hemsworth had any hidden flaw, Ms Portman had nothing but pleasant things to say about her co-star.
“He's (Chris Hemsworth) really nice. He's really a good guy,” Ms Portman said, adding, “The day we had a kiss scene he didn't eat meat that morning because I'm vegan. And he eats meat like every half hour. Like, that was so thoughtful. That's not something I'm angry about or care about, but he was just being thoughtful. He's a very nice person.”

She doesn't insist that her co-stars stop eating meat before their onscreen kiss, however, she said that it was a considerate gesture by Mr Hemsworth.
