Besides the box office success of his superhero movies, the actor is known for his celebrity status as one of the sexiest men alive. The 2014 issue of People’s magazine named the actor the sexiest man alive. The actor worked very hard to earn this awesome role though, as the actor gained 20 pounds of lean muscle for Thor! Apparently, when it comes to defeating bad guys, Thor has to be in the tiptoe shape that most bodybuilders dream of.
About being named the sexiest man alive, Chrisa says he laughed it off with his wife, telling her it earned him bragging rights at home. “I can just say to him, ‘Now remember, that’s what people think, so I don’t need to do the dishes anymore, I don’t need to change diapers. I am above. I did it now,” the actor told People Magazine.
