HE might be the this year’s sexiest man alive, but is Chris Hemsworth the manliest?

GQ magazine decided to find out.

The lad’s style mag had a theory that the 31-year-old is Hollywood’s leading man, due to his Australian-ness, his surfing and boxing hobbies, the fact the plays a Norse god with godlike biceps.

“He grew up scrapping with two brothers (the actors Liam, younger, and Luke, elder) and guided by a father who once raced motorbikes and wrangled buffalo. He surfs and boxes and knows Muay Thai. Plus he’s from Australia, birthplace of Paul Hogan and a billion deadly animals and a version of football that makes ours look like a cuddle puddle.”

So GQ decided to put the actor through what they call the “JUST HOW MANLY ARE YOU, CHRIS HEMSWORTH, QUIZ-CHALLENGE ™” quiz.

Here are some of the manly things they asked him:

1. The last thing he did that scared the hell out of him:

Having a family: ‘”Just not screwing it up,” he says

2. How quickly can he change a nappy?

“I’m good, man. Depends on how messy it is. Sometimes you gotta give ‘em a hose-down.”

3. Who would win a fight out of him and a kangaroo?

“Kangaroo. Absolutely. It would kick you in the face. A lot. They lean back on their tails and double-kick. That’s how they fight each other in the wild.”

4. The craziest thing he’s ever done to get into character?

Reduce himself to 500 calories to achieve an “emaciated castaway look” for upcoming whaling saga In The Heart Of The Sea.

5. The last time he used a hammer?

Two or three weeks ago,” says Hemsworth. “I repaired a little tree house.”

6. The last thing he punched and why?

“I’ve been in situations where I’m f***ing angry, and drunk, and I think, ‘This is the perfect time to punch the wall.’ But then there’s this practical side of me that’s like, ‘Well, hang on now, pick a soft spot. Don’t know if there’s a beam under here.’ So I think the last thing I punched was probably the (boxing) pads.”

7. What’s his drink of choice?

Vodka-soda. “I was out in Australia recently and someone was like, ‘Please tell me when you want a real drink.’ I was just like, ‘Oh, shut up. Really?’ “

8. Who is more manly, you as Thor or his good friend Matt Damon as Bourne?

“I wear a wig,” he says, conceding defeat.

Conclusion: We think he’s equal measures of man and perfect.
