Thor actor Chris Hemsworth recently paid Jimmy Kimmel Live! a visit to promote his new Disney+ series Limitless with Chris Hemsworth. According to the Australian actor, who was hailed "Sexiest Man Alive" in 2014, their OG 6 group chat was filled with snarky comments from Robert Downey Jr. and Jeremy Renner who mocked Chris when they learned about his win.

Hemsworth hilariously shares: "We have an Avengers text chain and it very quickly went, 'What are you doing with your hands back there?' Downey said he was being arrested, I said beautiful mugshot, and then Jeremy Renner said a series of things which we won’t repeat."
