Talking about his role as Formula One legend James Hunt in new movie Rush, Chris Hemsworth joked he was hoping director Ron Howard was going to ask him to do some method acting to master the part.

Asked if director Howard pushed for him to adopt a wild lifestyle before and during filming, he joked: ”Oh yeah, it was all about me getting drugs and alcohol and hitting up the town. No, I wish he did!”

The actor did, however, use some of his own life experiences to help shape his character, but he also admits he is now more responsible than he was before becoming a father. ”After having a kid, you realize it’s not all about you anymore. If I do something stupid it affects other people,” he said.
