Robert Downey Jr. Roasts Chris Hemsworth as the 'Second-Best Chris' in Funny Walk of Fame Tribute

Robert Downey Jr. paid tribute to 'Avengers' costar Chris Hemsworth at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony

Robert Downey Jr. brought the jokes to Chris Hemsworth's Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony.

The actor, 59, paid tribute to Hemsworth, 40, as the Thor actor received his star on Hollywood Boulevard Thursday, May 23. Downey brought with him a list of "roasts" from their other Marvel costars, each describing him in three words.

"First off, [Jeremy] Renner says 'absurdly annoyingly amazing.' [Mark] Ruffalo came in strong with 'Friend from work.' That's a callback, now I get it," Downey Jr. said in front of a crowd that also included Hemsworth's Furiosa: A Mad Max Sagadirector George Miller, costar Anya Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth's family.

He continued, "Scarlett [Johansson] got to the heart of it with 'sensitive leading lady.' Captain America [Chris Evans] calls him 'second-best Chris.' "

Hemsworth and Downey portrayed two of the core Avengers superheroes, Thor and Iron Man, respectively, alongside Evans, 42, Johansson, 39, Renner, 53 and Ruffalo, 56. Hemsworth most recently starred as Thor in 2022's Love and Thunder.

"Chris is a bit daunting to describe. He's very elusive because of the pretty packaging. However, upon further inspection, he has a true-blue wit and he has a depth of soul, and it has been my sincere pleasure to know you these many years," Downey said in his speech. "You keep us Hollywood folks on our toes because you're just a real dude."

Hemsworth's Walk of Fame ceremony comes just before his new movie Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga opens in theaters. Downey began his speech telling the large crowd on Hollywood Boulevard that he believes Furiosa will "be the film of 2024."

"I'm going to see it three times. I want commitments that everyone is going to see it three times — it'll be like 'Barbenheimer-Plus.' I want you to go to one theater and see this film three times instead of three other movies," he joked.

Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky and their three children — India Rose, 12, and twins Sasha and Tristan, 10 — were also in attendance at Thursday's ceremony. The actor shouted out Pataky, 47, during his own speech, honoring his wife of more than 13 years for putting aside her own acting career to support his.

"The fact [is] that nothing that I do, any of these moments, these special occasions and events, none of it is special without you by my side," Hemsworth said. "I love you."
