Ellen DeGeneres strikes again! The talk show host pulled another one of her epic pranks on Tuesday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show and gave guest star Chris Hemsworth a bit of a scare. During the interview, the Thor star opened up about his recent visit to Rottnest Island in Australia, where he met a few quokkas. In fact, the Avengers actor revealed he's a bit of an animal lover and listed off all of the Hemsworth family's pets. "We have three donkeys, a dog, a number of fish, a water dragon, three guinea pigs, three rabbits—four rabbits actually—two chickens and three—whatever you call it—my kids, they're definitely from the animal kingdom," he said. Everything seemed to be going well—until DeGeneres asked Hemsworth if there was any animal or anything that scared him. That's when a man dressed like a giant mouse jumped out from a nearby side table and startled Hemsworth. "That was awful," Hemsworth said after the stunt.<doc-sep>Chris Hemsworth may be known for playing the mighty Norse god Thor, but that doesn't mean he can't get scared out of his wits. Particularly if Ellen DeGeneres has anything to say about it. The host of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" is known for her loose-lidded setside furniture, which has many times exploded open to terrify guests including Sarah Paulson, Eric Stonestreet (who got sweet revenge) and Sterling K. Brown. In fact, we're surprised anyone still flinches, the gag gets used so often. But in the case of Hemsworth, it totally worked! The "Avengers: Endgame" actor talked to DeGeneres about meeting quokkas in Tasmania, Australia, recently, then said his whole family loves pets. "We have three donkeys, a dog, a number of fish, a water dragon, three guinea pigs, three rabbits — four rabbits actually — two chickens and three — whatever you call it — my kids, they're definitely from the animal kingdom," he said. Then she asked him if any animals or specific things frightened him. "Vending machines?" he joked. "Talk shows?" Just then, a man dressed as a giant mouse burst from the side table next to Hemsworth, who cringed mightily. "That was awful!" said Hemsworth afterward. "You almost punched it!" DeGeneres declared. If only Chris Hemsworth (here, as Thor) had brought his hammer. Courtesy Everett Collection "I did not almost punch it!" he cried. "I went straight to retreat." Well, at least he wasn't Thor about it.<doc-sep>Warner Bros. The talk show host also has the actor shill a product without knowing what it is leading to some awkward talks about intimacy. Don't look for Chris Hemsworth to explain what's going to happen in "Avengers: Endgame," because the Thor actor says he genuinely has no idea. Between filming the movie at the same time as "Infinity War" and the fact he and the cast have yet to see a final cut while they've been doing the promotional blitz, Chris told Ellen DeGeneres he's not even sure if he survives this one. In fact, he said he just got to the point where it was all he could do to simply learn his lines each day and trust in the rest of the team to turn it all into something that makes sense. As for what's next, Ellen asked him if he'd still be interested in continuing on as the Norse God of Thunder should he, in fact, survive the upcoming "Endgame." "This is sort of Marvel's Phase 3 wrapping up, the culmination of this journey. Whether or not they go off and then shoot other things -- prequels or sequels or whatever they can do .. so who knows what's in store for anyone," Hemsworth conceded. "Me personally, it's the best fun I've ever had," he continued. "And I'd be happy to do more if they wanted me." Hemsworth has been with the franchise since 2011, when he starred in the fourth film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the first in his own franchise. Since then, he's appeared in two more "Thor" movies and three "Avengers" films. Elsewhere on the show, Ellen put Chris' sales techniques to the test, as he now shills his own product; a fitness program called Centr. But for this one, she thought it would be more challenging (and funny) for him to "Pitch This" about a product he knew nothing about. That's how she got him talking about the benefits of a rash cream for intimacy. The whole thing just got more and more silly as it progresses until Chris was saying he used the product to help intimacy in his marriage, and even said the other Marvel Chrises and Robert Downey, Jr. also use it. Scarlett Johansson, to her credit, apparently doesn't need it. Finally, Chris proved that he clearly hasn't been paying enough attention to Ellen's show, even though he uses a promotional image of himself from it as his social media profile picture. When Ellen starts digging deep and asking you about what it is you might be afraid of, start backing away from that table between the chairs. Chris, on the other hand, was practically leaning over it, which meant he was up close and personal when Ellen's scare erupted from inside. We don't know what it is, but watching celebrities jump out of their skin just never get old. Got a story or a tip for us? Email TooFab editors at tips@toofab.com.<doc-sep>

While he did win the 2019 category as “Sexiest Chris,” DeGeneres still wasn’t buying it — determined to make sure Hemsworth knew just how sexy he still is. She pulled up a slew of jaw-dropping shirtless photos of the actor, showing off his chiseled abs. “Yeah, but you haven’t let yourself go, because I was flipping through some pictures today in my office,” the host said. “And I found a couple that I wanted to show people … these are things that I have up as posters in my bedroom.” RELATED VIDEO: Robert Downey Jr. Hilariously Battles with Chris Evans and Mark Ruffalo Over Their Facial Hair The photos certainly were poster-worthy, and even fellow nominee and co-star Chris Pratt admitted that Hemsworth deserved to win “Sexiest Chris” when he joined DeGeneres on her show earlier this year.
