RDJ Roasts Chris Hemsworth at Walk of Fame, Declares Him 'Second Best Chris'

Robert Downey Jr. had some fun at Chris Hemsworth's expense during his Walk of Fame ceremony, playfully declaring him "second best Chris" among the Avengers cast.

Robert Downey Jr.'s Walk of Fame ceremony was not only a celebration of his extraordinary career but also a stage for some good-natured ribbing of his Avengers co-star, Chris Hemsworth.

During the ceremony, Downey Jr. invited the Avengers cast to roast Hemsworth, asking each of them to describe the Australian actor in just three words. Chris Evans, known for his wit and camaraderie with Hemsworth, promptly quipped, "Second best Chris."

The crowd erupted in laughter, and Hemsworth himself took the joke in stride, his signature grin lighting up his face. However, Downey Jr. wasn't done yet. He continued his lighthearted teasing, playfully referring to Hemsworth as "Mr. Point Break" and "the Crocodile Dundee of Asgard."

Despite the playful banter, it was evident that Downey Jr. and Hemsworth share a genuine bond forged through their years of working together on the Avengers franchise. Their camaraderie extended beyond the red carpet, as the pair had earlier bonded over their shared love of surfing.

Hemsworth, in his acceptance speech, returned the favor, thanking Downey Jr. for being "a true friend and mentor" and praising him for his "generosity of spirit." He also acknowledged the "second best Chris" joke, saying, "I'm okay with that, as long as we're all clear that I'm the only Chris who can pull off a Hemsworth beard."

The lighthearted roasting and mutual appreciation between Downey Jr. and Hemsworth set a jovial tone for the ceremony, showcasing their close friendship and the camaraderie that binds the Avengers cast.

Downey Jr.'s speech also highlighted Hemsworth's admirable qualities, both on and off-screen. He praised Hemsworth's dedication to his craft, his exceptional work ethic, and his charitable spirit.

"Chris is a true professional and a wonderful human being," Downey Jr. said. "He's always willing to go the extra mile, both on set and in life."

Hemsworth's fellow Avengers cast members echoed Downey Jr.'s sentiments, describing him as a kind-hearted, supportive, and talented actor. Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki in the franchise, praised Hemsworth's leadership qualities, saying, "Chris is a natural leader, both on and off-screen. He sets a great example for all of us."

Scarlet Johansson, who portrays Black Widow, added, "Chris is a true friend and a joy to work with. He always brings a positive energy to the set."

The Walk of Fame ceremony was not just a recognition of Hemsworth's contributions to the entertainment industry but also a testament to his enduring friendship with Robert Downey Jr. and the deep bonds he has formed with his Avengers co-stars.

In the end, while Hemsworth may have been dubbed "second best Chris" in a playful jest, there is no doubt that he holds a special place in the hearts of his Avengers family and the millions of fans who have been captivated by his performances.
