These days, Liam Hemsworth is known for being a talented actor who has starred in movies alongside A-list stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Rebel Wilson, and Amber Heard. He usually stars in action movies but he has also pulled off comedies and romances in the past as well.
His long-term relationship with Miley Cyrus is also a huge detail about his life that fans discuss. They met on the set of The Last Song, fell in love, and even got married in 2019. They divorced not too long after and he started dating a model named Gabriella Brooks. Here's what his life was like before fame.
10 Melbourne, Australia Is Where Liam Was Born
Liam Hemsworth was born pretty far away from Hollywood! He was born in Melbourne, Australia which helps account for her Aussie accent. He hides his accent very well for movie roles but it's really there underneath it all. The city of Melbourne is quite lovely so it is a place he visits often. The city is known for having a lot of cultural diversity and street art to check out.
9 Liam Grew Up Loving Animals
Liam Hemsworth grew up loving animals. He didn't discriminate when it comes to animal breeds either. As a child, he loved animals from dogs and cats (which is super common) to animals like buffalos and crocodiles! Loving wild animals is a lot more uncommon but every animal deserved love in Liam's eyes when he was a youngster. Similar to the late Steve Irwin.
8 Before He Was Famous, Liam Worked At A Bowling Alley
Liam Hemsworth is a successful actor these days but before his big break, he had a normal day job too-- just like everyone else! Liam once worked at a bowling alley which seems like a place that wouldn't be meant for someone like him. He has good looks, charisma, and talent. Working at a bowling alley was never going to be a long-term lifestyle choice for Liam.
7 He Also Worked At A Bakery
Along with working at a bowling alley, Liam Hemsworth also worked at a bakery. Interestingly enough, he played the son of a baker during his time in the Hunger Games movie franchise. Liam's main job duty was baking bread and the place he worked at was called Baker's Delight. We're sure he was probably great at baking but he is so much better at acting!
6 Liam Was A Surfer
Surfing is a fun hobby for people who live close enough to the ocean. Liam Hemsworth grew up in Melbourne, Australia which means he was pretty close to the ocean! He spent his time surfing and he actually learned how to do it very well. After working in Hollywood on major blockbuster films, he started surfing at California beaches utilizing the skills he learned as a child.
5 When He Was 8, Liam’s Family Moved To Phillip Island
At the age of 8, Liam Hemsworth and his family moved to Phillip Island. His move to a new place at a young age is something he can relate to his ex-wife, Miley Cyrus, about. When she was 8 years old, she and her whole family moved from Nashville, Tennessee, to Toronto, Canada.
It sometimes feels like the entire world is being flipped upside down when you must move from one place to another, especially for children. Both Liam and Miley went through such an experience.
4 Liam Grew Up With Older Brother Chris Hemsworth
Liam Hemsworth's older brother, Chris Hemsworth, was around for Liam's whole entire childhood. They grew up together and were always very close. They both knew at young ages that they wanted to pursue careers in acting so they always had that thing in common. In fact, they even have auditioned for some of the same roles in the past. As of now, Chris's biggest role is as Thor in the MCU.
3 He Also Grew Up With Older Brother Luke Hemsworth
Luke Hemsworth is the name of Liam Hemsworth's other older brother. For some reason, he isn't always mentioned when people discuss the Hemsworth brothers but in reality, he should be! He is an actor too. One of his biggest roles to date is HBO's Westworld. The show is very interesting and geared toward a Sci-Fi-loving audience. When Liam was growing up, Luke was obviously there too.
2 Liam Landed A Role At Age 16 After His First Audition
The first role that Liam Hemsworth auditioned for, he actually landed! The role was for a show called Neighbours. The show was a soap opera about residents living in an area called Ramsay Street.
The residents experienced highs and lows within their love lives, friendships, jobs, and more. Liam was only 16 years old when this role came through for him. This was a great start to his acting career.
1 Liam Appreciated Growing Up With 'The Best Parents' Ever
When talking about his parents, Liam Hemsworth said, "I have the best parents you can have. They have worked in child protection for twenty years and have only ever given me encouragement and support, and I always felt safe and loved." He obviously has a wonderful and healthy relationship with both of his parents which is so important for children to have when they are growing up.
