He credited his costar Jennifer Lawrence with keeping him grounded. 'For a few years I went down a path where I forgot to be in the moment and enjoy the moment. But being around someone like Jen, who is so honest and laughs all day long, I am forced to be in the right now. I'm much happier.'
Hemsworth also finds solace in solitude. 'I read a lot of Zen books,' the hunky star said. 'And I grew up surfing, so that has always been my escape.'
