Anthony Hopkins
Anthony Hopkins is creating tension on the set of Thor by criticising his co-star Chris Hemsworth.
The New York Daily News has reported that the Oscar winner has not supported the young actor, who is the most inexperienced member of the cast, on set and has been heavily critical of his acting skills.
Kenneth Branagh is directing the latest Marvel Comic movie with Hemsworth in the central role. The cast also includes Natalie Portman, Samuel L Jackson, Kat Dennings and Idris Elba.
An insider told the New York Daily News: "Anthony has not tried to hide his disapproval of Chris' acting skills. Chris is definitely the least-experienced actor on set, but he's trying.
"He respects Anthony a great deal, and it looks like he's trying to grin and bear all of his criticism.
"Anthony keeps complaining that they're shooting too many scenes inside the L.A. studio and not enough on location.
"He isn't used to this kind of work, and his pessimism is really starting to wear everyone down."
Thor is expected to reach cinemas in May next year.
