LOVE BEFORE THE HUNGER GAMES

Two years before Liam appeared in the first Hunger Games film, he was in The Last Song with Miley Cyrus. Liam and Miley's characters fall in love in the film, and the actors fell in love in real life too. Liam and Miley were a star couple until they separated in 2013. 

A BIG CHALLENGE

Hollywood directors noticed Liam when he was Miley's boyfriend. He got offered the role of a lifetime: Gale Hawthorne, Katniss' best friend, in The Hunger Games. Suddenly, Liam became the idol of millions of fans. But he was faced with a challenge: playing Gale as readers had imagined him. 

BROTHERS AND RIVALS

Liam is the baby of the Hemsworth family. He has two older brothers, Chris and Luke, and all three brothers are actors. Liams says that without them he wouldn't be an actor today. But, he also admits that there's rivalry in the family and, at times, this competition is difficult. For example, before Liam's Hunger Games sucess, he auditioned to play Thor in the film Thor... But his brother Chris got finally the role!

A GREAT FUTURE

There's a final instalment of the saga in 2015, before Liams says goodbye to Gale for ever. But with his fantastic CV, he's sure to continue being successful. Liam is ready for new battles... the only danger is competition from his brothers!
