Chris Hemsworth’s recording sessions for ‘Transformers One’ took an entertaining turn thanks to his kids. While promoting the film, director Josh Cooley revealed that all of Hemsworth’s voice work was done from his home in Sydney, where his children often interrupted the process. Cooley fondly recalled these “fun” remote sessions, highlighting how the actor balanced his responsibilities as a dad with his role as Optimus Prime.
During the recording, Cooley observed that Hemsworth’s children would occasionally burst into the room. “His kids would come running in, and he’d be like, ‘Oh, hold on, let me get lunch for them,’ or whatever it was,” he shared. This laid-back atmosphere made the experience enjoyable, with Cooley praising Hemsworth as a “phenomenal, great guy.”

“I had gone to my kids and said, ‘What do you think?’ And they said, ‘You have to do it,’” he recounted. This playful involvement underscored the family-oriented approach Hemsworth took while working on the film.

As fans await the film’s release, it’s clear that Hemsworth’s dual role as a superhero and a loving father makes for an inspiring combination.
