00:05 The 40-year-old actor's private chef Sergio Pereira has explained how the Thor star
00:11 adjusts his meals to suit each project that he works on. Speaking to online
00:17 portal Pereira said, "Obviously the guy is a big boy and he requires a lot of
00:23 protein for the body he has." The chef who has appeared on the TV show MasterChef Australia
00:32 added, "When it comes to building muscle, he just keeps it very clean with a lot of barbecuing,
00:38 like meats and vegetables, and keeping it Mediterranean, which involves a lot of olive oil."
00:44 Pereira explained how Hemsworth never snacks on anything boxed or canned and eats a hearty salad
00:52 on a daily basis. The cook recalled, "One thing I did religiously with him was that every single day
00:59 he would have one very large, hearty salad that consisted of raw and cooked vegetables,
01:05 fermented product, nuts, seeds, and a lot of good fats with a piece of a steak or a big piece of
01:12 fish." Pereira has been working with the extraction actor for more than a decade after he was
01:18 contacted by the star's wife, who felt that Chris needed assistance to cope with the physical
01:25 demands of his Hollywood career. The chef said, "He had just finished the first Thor movie and he
01:31 needed someone to help match his meal plan to his physical demands and that's how I came on board.
01:38 I would sit with his trainer, who is one of his closest friends, and we would all work together
01:45 on figuring out Chris's goals," Pereira added. Pereira enjoyed working with the actor so much
01:52 that he even moved to Hemsworth's native Australia. He said, "I went there thinking
01:57 I was only going to be there for a few months, but I ended up staying."
