Chris Hemsworth has admitted he has not always approved of little brother Liam’s girlfriends.

The Hunger Games star Liam, 24, was engaged to wild child Miley Cyrus, but they split in September 2013, amid rumours Thor star Chris, 31 and their elder brother Luke, 34, had staged an intervention.

In a new interview with GQ magazine, Chris did not mention Miley by name but revealed he had disapproved of some of Liam’s past relationships.

Chris said of looking out for his younger brother: “I’ve watched Liam do things I did at his age, like being in relationships he shouldn’t be in, or being reckless just to prove a point. And I had no empathy. My mom had to remind me I was the same way.”

But the Rush star added that older brother Luke had given him the same tough love when he was starring in Australian soap Home And Away.

Chris revealed: “Back when I was still on the soap, I became incredibly insecure and full of anxiety because I didn’t know if I was any good. Yet I wanted it so bad. I spent years being angsty, constantly telling people I wasn’t just part of a soap opera, that I was a real artist. And I remember Luke sort of snapping, telling me to shut up, that he was sick of hearing it.”

And Hollywood hunk Chris credits Luke for helping him to become less self conscious… along with taking part in the Australian version of Dancing With The Stars in 2006.

He revealed: “After that show, I could never pull the serious, self-important card again.”
