Luke Hemsworth: 'I have to be very specific about which brother I am'
Actor Luke Hemsworth says he must be very specific about which Hemsworth brother he is because people constantly confuse him with his famous siblings Chris and Liam. The oldest of the three acting brothers discussed the challenge in a new interview while promoting his latest film.
Luke Hemsworth, the oldest of the three Hemsworth acting brothers, says he faces constant confusion about his identity compared to his more famous siblings Chris and Liam.
"I have to be very specific about which brother I am. But it still gets confusing," Luke said in a recent interview. He's been working to establish his own acting career separate from Chris, who plays Thor in Marvel movies, and Liam, known for "The Hunger Games" films.
Luke has appeared in HBO's "Westworld" and recently starred alongside Liam in an action film with Russell Crowe and Milo Ventimiglia. The brothers played sergeants in a military unit during an asset retrieval mission in the Philippines.
"That is the question I ask a lot: How do I actually differentiate myself from them?" Luke said. "I am figuring it out as I go but I'm very serious about doing good work."
Luke lives in Malibu with his wife Samantha and three daughters. Despite the challenges, he continues pursuing acting roles while building his own reputation in Hollywood.
The struggle shows how difficult it can be for family members to build their own careers when siblings become mega-famous. Many people face similar challenges being known mainly for their family connections rather than their own work.
Luke's new film projects will test whether he can build name recognition separate from his brothers.
