Chris Hemsworth's Sexy 'Man of the Year' Shoot

By

Empire magazine has named Australian actor Chris Hemsworth their Man of the Year for 2012, and he's certainly easy on the eyes in this behind-the-scenes footage from his sexy black-and-white photoshoot.

Chris, 29, gives a number of both sultry and silly poses for the camera, and he clearly has a reason to be happy -- he's starred in a string of box office hits this year including Snow White and the Huntsman and The Avengers, and, of course, witnessed the birth of his and his wife Elsa Pataky's very first child, daughter India, in May.
