10 Exact Moments Actors Thought They Were Finished
6. Chris Hemsworth Thought His Improv Skills Would End His Career In Ghostbusters
For those who don't feel all that confident about the concept of riffing on the spot during a scene, the reality of walking onto a set without any scripted dialogue to fall back on can be fairly daunting.
And that was the terrifying situation Chris Hemsworth found himself in during the shooting of the eventual comedy reboot flop that was 2016's Ghostbusters.
After having a chat with director Paul Feig about the alarming lack of lines his character had printed in the script he'd been sent, the star was told not to worry about it because they'd simply figure it out on the day.
But when said day actually arrived and Hemsworth still hadn't been given a whole lot to go off, the horrifying realisation that he'd have to now attempt to improvise his way through a sequence with his co-stars left him thinking, "this is not only the end of my career, but I’m going to ruin this film."
In the end, though, the support he felt from the likes of Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig helped him feel comfortable enough to have fun with the scenes he was involved in.
And while this particular Ghostbusters adventure may not have set the world on fire, Hemsworth's career showed absolutely no signs of slowing down after yet another fine example of his comedy prowess.
