“What is Chris Hemsworth?” Downey asked. “Renner says, ‘Absurdly, annoyingly amazing.’ Ruffalo came in strong with ‘friend from work.’ Scarlett got to the heart of it with ‘sensitive leading lady.’ Captain America calls him the ‘second best Chris.’ And I’ll bring it to the here and now: There is no one who deserves it more. He is ‘Hollywood star recipient.’”
“It Has Been My Sincere Pleasure to Know You”
After making sure Hemsworth’s head hadn’t got too big, Downey Jr. got serious.
“I wrote all of my comments myself, which is why they are going to be quite insightful and brilliant,” Downey continued.

“Beyond the cape and the hammer is a contagious Aussie charm. You are a remarkable human being. You are a legend. Chris is a bit daunting to describe. He’s very elusive because of the pretty packaging. However, upon further inspection…down under…he has a true wit and depth of soul and it has been my sincere pleasure to know you. You keep us Hollywood folk on our toes because you’re just a real deal.”
Hemsworth Though He Already Had a Star
While Hemsworth was honored to finally receive a star on the Walk of Fame, the actor admitted that he thought he already had one.
The confusion stemmed from a 2019 ceremony when the cast of Avengers: Endgame was asked to put their handprints on the cement outside the TCL Chinese Theater.
“I thought that was the Walk of Fame! So when we did it, I thought, ‘Oh cool, I’m getting a star.’” Hemsworth said. “And someone told me, ‘No, that’s not what this is.’ I went along with it like I completely knew what was happening. It was kind of afterwards, I was like, ‘So, where’s the star?’”
