Robert Downey Jr. didn't hold back when it came to roasting Chris Hemsworth at the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony honoring the Australian actor. With a series of witty quips and playful insults, Downey Jr. had the audience in stitches as he painted a humorous portrait of his fellow Avenger.
Los Angeles, CA - Robert Downey Jr. brought his trademark humor to the Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony honoring Chris Hemsworth, delivering a hilarious roast that had the audience roaring with laughter.
Downey Jr. began by asking the assembled Avengers cast to describe Hemsworth in three words. Chris Evans, known for his quick wit, promptly replied, "Second best Chris."
Undeterred, Downey Jr. continued his playful assault, poking fun at Hemsworth's physique and his tendency to be overly serious. "You know, Chris, you're a bit like a Greek god," Downey Jr. said with a mock-serious tone. "But instead of thunderbolts, you shoot lightning bolts of vanity."
The audience erupted in laughter as Downey Jr. proceeded to roast Hemsworth's acting skills. "Chris, you're a great actor," Downey Jr. said. "But you're also a terrible liar. You can't hide your Australian accent, mate."
Hemsworth, known for his good-natured demeanor, took the ribbing in stride, laughing along with the audience. However, Downey Jr. was far from finished.
"Chris, I have to say, you're a bit of a show-off," Downey Jr. said. "But I guess that's what happens when you spend too much time admiring yourself in the mirror."
The crowd continued to roar with laughter as Downey Jr. joked about Hemsworth's love of surfing. "Chris, I know you love to surf," Downey Jr. said. "But let's be honest, you're not as good as you think you are. I've seen better skills on a boogie board."
Despite the relentless teasing, Downey Jr. ended on a heartfelt note, acknowledging Hemsworth's talent and dedication.
"Chris, you're a great friend, a great actor, and a great Avenger," Downey Jr. said. "I'm honored to share the screen with you, and I'm thrilled to see you receive this well-deserved star on the Walk of Fame."
In response to Downey Jr.'s roast, Hemsworth thanked his fellow Avengers cast for their support and humor.
"I've never been roasted like this before," Hemsworth said. "But I have to say, it was a lot of fun. Thanks to my castmates for making me the butt of their jokes. I love you guys."
The Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony honoring Chris Hemsworth was a testament to his talent and the enduring friendship he has forged with his fellow Avengers. And while Downey Jr.'s roast may have been filled with laughter, it also served as a heartwarming tribute to one of Hollywood's brightest stars.
