Yes, Liam Hemsworth might have been known as Miley Cyrus' fiancé for a while, but the actor is coming in HOT on the cover of Esquire Middle East, where he certainly sizzles as a single guy on the rise.
The Hunger Games star, who was photographed by Bleacher and Everard and styled by Kate Hazell, dished to the magazine about his increasingly successful career, sibling rivalry (hello, Chris Hemsworth) and growing up on Phillip Island, the small area off the coast of Australia. Although the three of them are very close now—they even help each other out with their lines!—growing up they were like everybody else, racked with sibling rivalry and fighting.
"We used to fight all the time," he told the magazine. "In the summer holidays we'd live in board shorts and we had a throwing knife, so we'd play this game where you'd have to stand about two metres away from each other and take it in turns to throw it as close to the person's foot and stick it into the ground.
"It was really dangerous," he added. "I mean, it was kind of blunt, but it would still hurt a lot if it hit you."
It looks like the Hemsworth brothers liked to live on the wild side!
"We used to play that a lot," he continued. "There were a few cuts and bruises, a few shaves here and there. I think being a young, Australian guy you tend to do those kinds of stupid things."
The three of them certainly could have turned out worse. Heck, Chris even turned into a superhero when he nabbed the role of Thor! (He beat out Liam for that, taking sibling rivalry to an entirely new level.)
But Liam, while known for his good looks and career, also has a passion for charity and has dedicated much of his time as an ambassador for the Australian Childhood Foundation, which works to prevent child abuse and educate schools and communities.
"The world is scary enough; kids deserve to feel comfortable and, you know, it's just about paving the path for a more positive future and bringing up kids with morals and a good education," he explained.
"When you're in my position you have a responsibility to do things," he continued. "People are influenced by your words and I wanna have a positive effect on people and contribute to a more positive future."
