"It’s very exciting. We really lucked out," Abrams told MTV News. "He’s so crazy handsome and he’s so strapping with the classic leading man look. I sort of wish I had dirtied him up a little bit, messed his hair up a little bit."
"The guy’s hair up until the last moment is sort of perfect. In retrospect I look at that and am like a little smudge or a hair out of place would have been a good thing," he said. "The guy is a sweetheart and terrific actor."
According to Abrams, the last time he had a chance to chat with Hemsworth was prior to his 'Thor' announcement, but he knew the actor was always destined for big things.
"Hemsworth was in a moment where he was trying to figure out what his next thing was going to be and he stayed strong in terms of what his commitments were to various projects. I knew that he was going to be given a lot of opportunities sooner or later and I was hoping it would be off of Trek," said Abrams.
And it seems that the director couldnt be any closer to the truth as Chris Hemsworth is set to star in 2011's 'Thor' and 2012's 'The Avengers'!
