‘The Number One Reason Why…’: Luke Hemsworth Claims He Taught Morgan Freeman ‘Everything He Knows’ About Acting

As a lifestyle expert, I find Luke Hemsworth‘s journey to be nothing short of inspiring. His ability to maintain a balance between his professional and family life while still making time for learning from legends like Morgan Freeman is truly commendable.


As a devoted admirer and co-star of the illustrious Morgan Freeman in our latest action-packed thriller “Gunner,” currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video, I can’t help but humorously remark that I might just have been the one who imparted all his acting wisdom to him!

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I can share a personal anecdote: Working alongside the legendary Sir Ian McKellen was a significant driving force behind my decision to embark on that project. To be in the same vicinity as such a seasoned professional, someone whose craft I’ve long admired, was essentially the top incentive for me taking on that film role.

While shooting the movie Gunner, Hemsworth spent a significant amount of time in a car with Freeman. This prolonged travel time provided an excellent chance for Hemsworth to engage and ask numerous questions to the Academy Award-winning performer.

Chris Hemsworth openly confessed that he harbors fandom for Morgan Freeman, going as far as referring to himself as a ‘fanboy.’ His eagerness to learn prompted him to inquire about nearly every colleague Freeman has collaborated with, including Jim Carrey – a man whom Hemsworth professes his admiration for.

Chris Hemsworth sought guidance from Morgan Freeman on acting and movie-making, and one of their most notable conversations revolved around Freeman’s preferred filmmaker. When Hemsworth inquired about Freeman’s favorite director, the veteran actor grinned and responded, “Clint Eastwood, as he doesn’t ask too many questions!”

In Gunner, Hemsworth takes on the role of a father determined to rescue his sons from a perilous drug ring. This high-octane drama provided Hemsworth an opportunity to explore the intense resolve and profound affection his character has for his family.

Chris Hemsworth, who’s a dad to three girls off-screen, found himself deeply tied to the role. He shared that although he’d do whatever it takes for them under such circumstances, his approach to fatherhood is usually laid-back.

In a conversation, Hemsworth shared that their children have a lot of freedom in how they are raised. He said they have a wide range of independence, allowing them to explore the world and learn to handle challenges on their own. This parenting approach mirrors Hemsworth’s personal experiences and his faith in his kids’ abilities to navigate life’s difficulties. As Hemsworth’s eldest daughter just turned 16, he expressed a mix of fear and excitement, finding it both scary and delightful to witness this significant milestone.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d put it this way: After coming back home to Australia in 2020, my eldest brother Luke Hemsworth – yes, the one from the famous brood – has masterfully juggled his professional and family duties. Despite being known as the more laid-back among us, when we’re all gathered, he playfully refers to our bond as anything but somber: “We’re a bunch of goofballs when we hang out,” he chuckles.

Regardless of the illustrious background and celebrity status associated with the Hemsworth clan, Luke continues to keep his feet on the ground, dedicating himself wholeheartedly to his career and family. His character in Gunner not only served as a platform for him to display his acting talents but also offered an unparalleled chance to collaborate with screen legend Morgan Freeman, an experience he evidently relished.
