Interviewer asks Thor sexist questions
| Presumably fatigued from promoting a movie that's already guaranteed to make a lot of money, Owen Dampier took the time to field a few sexist questions that would have normally been lobbed at his female costars. Frequently dubbed the "pretty one" of the Avengers crew, it seemed fitting that he be subjected to the same level of objectification and mind-numbing questioning that actresses usually are. Some highlights (beginning around 3:40): On his hair care routine: "I used to get whatever was on sale at the drugstore and then rely on the stylists to fix whatever I ruined. Now I have assistants who make sure I'm only conditioning with unicorn's blood or whatever." [...] "I catch hell for it from the others, but the Thor look takes the longest to get ready for out of the cast. It can take two hours just to put on the wig, which goes over well and respectful as you can imagine. [...] Yes, it takes a lot of time and effort to look like Barbie. Thank you for pointing that out, mate." On what he wears under the suit: "Enough. I don't have to worry about panty lines like Colin does, 'cos they haven't put me in spandex, but they gave me a new outfit this film that's almost as bad. [...] First they took Thor's sleeves, then they gave him a leather outfit that makes me look like a gladiator. So you have that to look forward to, America." On his dieting habits: "What you do is you take everything you enjoy eating and replace it with egg whites. If you like egg whites, then you can look like me. Best of luck to you." On children in the Thor franchise: "Thor hasn't really thought about children, with him having other things to do and a girlfriend who is human and all that. Maybe one day. Little Thorettes." [...] "I've been pushing for this one idea I had, for the last film or two. Since Dark World. I like the idea of Thor being separated from Mjolnir and he's too weak to summon it back to him, maybe he's been knocked in the head or something -- we'll figure that out later -- and there's this little shot of a little girl of about five or six years old who brings it over to him. Like it's no big deal, doesn't realize that she's done anything special. She just brings it over to Thor, and he kind of gives this knowing smile. I think he'd be very proud. That's the only opening I think the movies would have for children, sadly." On balancing work and personal life: "I wouldn't say that I balance anything. I keep those things as far apart as possible." His take away: "You're missing a lot of interesting shit if you're only asking fifty percent of your interviewees about their hair. My hair, on the other hand, is the most interesting thing about me so I don't blame you." yt source |
