Chris Hemsworth is the 35-year-old star of "Thor: Ragnarok," or you may know him as the brother of equally attractive actor Liam Hemsworth. But did you know he's also a father-of-three? Well, he is. And it turns out, he's pretty much the coolest dad ever.

In a clip from a 2015 interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Hemsworth shared an interesting conversation he had with his 4-year-old daughter India.

“My daughter's kind of envious of my boys," Hemsworth told Ellen. “She came to me the other day, and she's like 'You know, Papa, I want one of those things that Sasha and Tristan have.' And I'm like, 'What do you mean?' She said, 'You know the things in between their legs that you have.'"

Hemsworth said he tried to explain the differences between male and female bodies, but his daughter wasn't having it.

“She goes, 'I really want one!' Hemsworth said. “I'm like, 'A penis?' And she's like, 'I want a penis!'

And then, Hemsworth had the best possible response. He recalls:

She's four and I'm like, 'You know what, you can be whatever you want to be.' And she goes, 'Thanks, Dad.' Runs off into the playground and that was it.

And then, I cannot confirm, but I'm pretty sure the Ellen audience did this:

Major kudos to Hemsworth for taking a potentially awkward parenting situation and turning it into a lesson about love and acceptance.

How rock legend Taylor Hawkins helped a former Yes tribute singer join the real band

In a sense, and without realizing it, Jon Davison was training to be the singer of Yes his whole career. The musician, a native of Laguna Beach, California, grew up obsessed with vintage prog-rock—a passion he developed in high school alongside childhood friend and collaborator Taylor Hawkins. "[W]e heard Rush and flipped out on our discovery of progressive rock!" he told interviewer Barry Nothstine in 2010. "I would read these Bass Player magazine articles with Geddy Lee, describing his influences at the time, and discovered through him other progressive bands like Yes and Genesis. I was completely taken by Yes in particular, and from that time on, they have been my favorite group and greatest musical influence."

As Davison's career blossomed within the prog world, he landed multiple gigs—including one as the singer of a Yes tribute band, Roundabout. And when the real Yes found themselves looking for a new vocalist in 2012, Hawkins—now a longtime member of Foo Fighters and a friend of Yes bassist Chris Squire—put in a good word for his longtime pal. "Taylor was instrumental in helping me get the gig with Yes," Davison told Classic Rock in 2022. "I’d decided to pursue lead vocals, and he was really supportive of me doing that. He pushed Chris to take a listen to what I was doing when they needed a new singer. ...I’m eternally grateful to Taylor for being so instrumental in that. He helped give me a second chance at a musical career after I thought it was all behind me."

Even though it was a Disney film, Tron: Legacy still had its sexy moments.

Disney and Playboy once collaborated on a photoshoot. The results were electrifying.

Maybe you wouldn’t imagine a collaboration between Playboy and Disney would ever exist, but you’d be on the wrong side of history. This pairing actually took place in 2010, on the occasion of Tron: Legacy’s release. In a pictorial, the two legendary universes blended together for a dance between the futuristic light suits of Tron and the sexy babes of Playboy. What’s interesting, though, is that this idea had actually been on the table nearly 30 years before, upon the release of the original Tron in 1982.

The original Tron, released 43 years ago this week, took place in a digital universe never before seen on the silver screen. It was so foreign, however, that Disney’s marketing and public relations teams actually didn’t know how to market it yet. According to Moving Innovation: A History of Computer Animation by animator and animation historian Tom Sito, Playboy came along and presented the potential partnership first. The pitch included a “photo spread called ‘The Girls of Tron,’ featuring nude Playboy models with their naughty parts discreetly covered by circuit boards,” Sito wrote. But Disney was by no means at a place where they would accept such an offer from the magazine, whose reputation at the time even barred it from being sold at 7-Eleven convenience stores (Did Playboy do a “Women of 7-Eleven” spread in response? Yes. Yes, they did.) A few years earlier, the magazine had also encountered obscenity charges. The offer was rejected.

Company accidentally leaves hilariously tone deaf AI prompt in person's job-rejection email

Between recruiting scams, unpaid "assignments," and the anxiety of awaiting updates about which interview round you’ve reached, the modern job-hunting process is already stressful enough. We don’t need to also normalize the humiliation of receiving an AI-written rejection email.

Nonetheless, that’s exactly what happened to one apparent job seeker, who went online and shared a partially redacted note that clearly—and, let’s hope, accidentally—includes a prompt submitted to some kind of automated chatbot. It’s the kind of moment that makes you slightly embarrassed to be human, but luckily we got some excellent jokes out of it.

There’s only one reason Michael Jordan returned to basketball at 38, and it wasn’t for money

When Michael Jordan left basketball for the second time in 1999, there was no doubt he was not just one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but one of the greatest athletes ever. Even so, he wasn’t done.

In 2000, Jordan became a 10% stakeholder in the Washington Wizards, as well as the team’s President of Basketball Operations. But that wasn’t enough. Inspired by hockey center Mario Lemieux’s 2000 return to the sport after retiring—Lemieux was also part owner of his team, the Pittsburgh Penguins—Jordan jumped back in as well in September 2001, though he was required to sell his stake to do so. He took the lowest possible salary of $1M and donated it all to 9/11 relief.

Man who has lived on a cruise ship for 20 years reveals surprising downside to life at sea

Living full-time on a cruise ship sounds like a fantasy for most people, but for Mario Salcedo, it's everyday life. Known affectionately as "Super Mario," Salcedo recently marked his 1,000th cruise with Royal Caribbean, celebrating more than two decades spent largely at sea.

His cruising journey began back in 1994 when, at age 45, Salcedo decided to shift his life dramatically. "When I hit 45, I wanted to start a new chapter in my life traveling around the world—that was my vision,” he explained to Conde Nast Traveler. “But I didn’t know about the logistics, whether air, train, or sea."

NSYNC silenced the boos with a stunning a cappella national anthem at 2000 World Series

On October 24, 2000, the New York Mets hosted their inter-league rivals, the New York Yankees, at Shea Stadium in game three of the MLB World Series. The crowd deserved a big-deal "Star-Spangled Banner" performance—the kind people could watch reverently decades later. And they ultimately got one, soaking in the dulcet vocal harmonies of ubiquitous boy-band NSYNC. But, at least at first, many of the amped-up baseball fans in attendance that night didn’t seem too stoked.

You can hear for yourself in the video. "Performing tonight’s anthem is one of the most popular musical groups in the world today: multi-platinum recording artists NSYNC," the announcer tells the crowd, prompting a response that sounds equal parts cheering and boos. Two of the members, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone, look almost amused by the reception, smirking as they stare out at the masses. Perhaps they were thinking to themselves, "You won’t be jeering for long." Meanwhile, Justin Timberlake's expression is almost blank.

Longtime tenant gets stunning call—her landlord secretly gifted her the house

John Perrett was many things throughout his 86 years—a pharmacist, property investor, avid sportsman, and above all, deeply generous. Despite his considerable wealth, he lived simply and kept a small, cherished group of friends. But upon his passing in 2020, Perrett's quiet generosity transformed lives in profound ways.

An unexpected call changes everything

Jane Sayner, 74, was a longtime renter of a modest two-bedroom unit in Melbourne owned by Perrett. For more than two decades, she enjoyed tending to the home's garden, never imagining she'd one day call the property her own.

When Bob Dylan 'jammed' with fan Jenna Elfman on a goofy episode of sitcom 'Dharma & Greg'

If you told the average music fan, "Bob Dylan is making a cameo on a TV show, and he even has a few lines," they might well be expecting an artsy period drama where he’s sitting in the corner of a shadowy bar. They most certainly wouldn’t predict him to awkwardly smile his way through an episode of the sanitized opposites-attract ABC sitcom Dharma & Greg, which ran from 1997 to 2002. But yes, that bizarrely ill-fitting pairing came to life during the episode "Play Lady Play," which aired October 12, 1999. It’s certainly one of the weirdest moments in Dylan’s career—no small feat.

The abrupt guest spot feels reverse-engineered into the show, only tangentially related to the rest of the plot—as if the writers thought, "Hey, it would be fun to have Bob Dylan be in an episode" and then worked backwards from there. But here’s the set-up: Dharma (Jenna Elfman) plays drums in a teenage kid’s garage band until she’s kicked out by one of their moms (Jane Lynch). With the episode almost over, Dharma tells Greg (Thomas Gibson), "I have a chance to audition for another band!" And that group happens to be…Dylan’s.
