If you were in Chris Hemsworth's position, how could you possibly resist trying to take home a prop version of Thor's trusty magical hammer Mjolnir?

That Hemsworth did, as he confessed in a Jimmy Kimmel Live interview in 2018, swiping "about five" of the hammers for his personal collection without asking permission.

He keeps one on the mantlepiece in his home and another, hilariously, in his bathroom next to the toilet - because why not? He also added that one of the hammers has a few scratches and dents where one of his children has attempted, in vain, to pick it up.

Despite most fans expecting Mjolnir to be ultra-lightweight in order for Hemsworth to fling it around on set, he also confirmed that the props are actually relatively heavy.
