Thor Stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton Talks About His Career + Working with Chris Hemsworth

Bobby started out in gymnastics and didn’t even know film stuntman was a real job. “I was an ‘80s child and growing up, Bruce Lee, Van Damme, and Rocky Balboa, and all of those films [with] Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger… I loved them!” Bobby told us. “Social media wasn’t around, the internet was very new, so I didn’t even know that stunt performers existed. They’re action stars and they do a lot [of stunts] themselves, but I didn’t even know that being a stunt performer was a job option until I was a lot older.”

When asked about how the Centr app came to be, he discussed how passionate Chris Hemsworth was about the idea and that he wanted to make something that was for mind and body, and something that didn’t require you to spend hours at the gym.

“A lot of people get very daunted by – and I get daunted by – the look of Chris,” Bobby shared. “I mean, he’s ridiculous, but when you break it down and the programs that we do… When you get involved in a community and you start training together, it just becomes very important people are then motivated by that and a healthier lifestyle. It doesn’t matter what you do. It doesn’t matter if you do two reps, if you do 100 reps. If you do something, it’s better than nothing and it’s going to help you mentally, physically, everything. It will make you feel better tenfold.”
