Liam Hemsworth Pictures and Interview in GQ Style Australia

Liam Hemsworth’s baby blues are front and centre on the latest cover of GQ Style Australia, which is on sale now. He also puts his modelling skills to work in an accompanying retro-styled shoot photographed by Dusan Reljin. With The Hunger Games being released this month, Liam and his co-stars are the names on everyone’s lips, but he didn’t talk about the film too much in his interview with David Hochman. Instead he touched on his surfing ambitions back in the day and missing his parents and family back home. Liam said:

• On his childhood role model: “I surfed competitively and made it to the state rounds where I was competing with the top surfers in Victoria. We travelled everywhere. All my friends were surfers. All we wanted to be was Kelly Slater.”
• On his parents: “My parents are good people who do good things for others. It can be a challenging example to live up to.”
• On Chris landing the role of Thor: “Look, Chris is six-and-a-half years older than me so there’s this thing where if I’d got Thor, that would have been weird. The way I look at this is, better Chris than someone else. Believe me, Chris and I spent most of our lives beating each other up. At this point, we’re just happy not to be fist-fighting over who gets to sit in the front seat.”
• On missing home: “My family and friends back in Australia have missed this part of my life; and it’s been a big part. That’s tough. I’m growing up without them. My parents don’t Skype. It’s tough with the time difference. I miss Australia a lot.”
