Sir Anthony Hopkins found Thor a challenge

16 January 2011

Acting legend Sir Anthony Hopkins who is famous for starring as Dr. Hannibal Lecter has revealed that he found the physical aspect of filming of his latest role as Norse God Odin in the Marvel Comics adaptation Thor a challenge.

"When they dressed me up I thought, 'Well, I'm a God now.' But it was a bit difficult to move around because they had steep steps. It was quite tiring as my costume was about twenty or thirty pounds and you can't really take much of a rest."

The highly anticipated comic book action adventure hits UK cinemas on April 29th. The Kenneth Branagh directed film sees Chris Hemsworth as the mighty God of Thunder with Black Swan award winner Natalie Portman as Jane Foster.
