E! EntertainmentChris Hemsworth is going to play a secretary in the all-female Ghostbusters reboot! Long live secretary Hemsworth!
"Ugh, they're just putting him in there as eye candy for the bosses," weird people complained when they heard the casting news. "It's kind of demeaning."
Yeah, after eons of hot chicks playing secretaries for the sole purpose of being eye candy for the male bosses in movies and TV shows, the ladies finally get their own hot secretary. How dare us?! Chris Hemsworth shouldn't feel demeaned…he should feel honored! And since he's an intelligent human with a modern mind, he probably is honored to be a part of an insanely talented cast. And we know he's funny, so he won't just be eye candy. He'll be hilarious eye candy! There's a big difference. Or maybe he'll be integral to the success of the Ghostbusters.
Or hell, since females couldn't possibly handle running a business, he'll probably step in—you know, as the man, and take charge.
(If you were to read some of the backlash regarding the all-female Ghostbusters cast, you would know that's seriously how some people think.)
Anyway, before filming gets underway, we should wanted to list out all the secretary clichés from TV and movies that director Paul Feig could use if he wanted, with sexy Chris Hemsworth GIFs because...well, duh:
1. The nerdy-yet-sexy glasses
You don't realize he's hot until he takes them off. Works like a charm every single time.
2. The temptress always trying to seduce the boss
It's a move as old as time itself: he'll drop a pencil in front of Melissa McCarthy and very slowly, very deliberately pick it up.
3. The boss always trying to seduce the secretary
Chris' character should get memos that are all about how much the boss appreciates that his "ass is like a baked ham."
4. The "living to work" mentality
He eats, breathes and sleeps this job! He's going to make it in this business! So he doesn't have time to date, OK? Just let him run around the city with his hair flying out of his man bun with his cell phone to his ear as he does whatever he can to get ahead. Personal life, be damned!
5. All the sexual puns about "being the boss"
How many times can Kate McKinnon hit on him by saying "Let me be the boss of you" or "looks like you'll have to work late tonight"? We can't wait to count along.
6. He's not a "secretary"
He's an "executive assistant," damn it!
7. Forbidden office romance
Maybe Chris and Leslie Jones meet secretly in supply closets and send each other lovesick emails. They try and keep their passion quiet but they just....CAN'T.
8. The boss' suspicious significant other
If any of the Ghostbusters are married/in a relationship, then the S.O. will probably always be accusing Chris of being a home-wrecker. And maybe he yells at Kristen Wiig's husband: "you don't understand her like I do!"
9. The boss actually cheating on their S.O. with the secretary
And a lot of times in TV shows and movies, the suspicions are correct. How could you, Kristen Wiig?!
10. Sultry, not-workplace-appropriate-whatsoever outfit
What's the male equivalent of a tight pencil skirt, sexy stockings and a blouse unbuttoned to your sternum?
11. The office gossip/know-it-all
Want to know who is sleeping with who? Need to get the dirt on who might be getting fired next? Go sit by the secretary and listen as he files his nails and rattles off all the hot gossip. And he'll put nice calls on hold as he spills the beans.
12. The eye candy
Look, but don't touch. Unless he's wondering if his new lotion makes his skin feel soft in which case…it would be rude not to touch, right?
Good luck, secretary Hemsworth! We shall remember you on Administrative Professionals Day.
