Legends of the Hemsworth Brothers

Remember the movie, Legends of the Fall? Aidan Quinn, Brad Pitt, and Henry Thomas as brothers? And then Julia Ormond with her weepy "I just can't choose" #prettygirlproblems, comes in a ruins the whole perfect trio? But before that happens, the basic story is about three extremely handsome and happy brothers living in the "wild" with their grizzly father, Anthony Hopkins. I love that movie.

That's how I picture the Hemsworth Brothers. Chris just landed the "most coveted role in Hollywood" in Spielberg's next bound to be blockbuster, Robopocalypse. Liam is making waves in the Hunger Games trilogy. And Luke, (yes, there are 3), is the oldest brother, known mostly for soap opera roles, but could blossom a little on the coattails of his younger brothers.






























It's a tragedy in itself, but the boys are all "taken" as of now. 


Luke and Chris are both married, and Liam is dating Miley Cyrus, though marriage rumors are circling like vultures. And I use the word vulture very specifically, because Miley's involvement with Liam means impending doom for him. Miley knows her days are numbered, she's got to get in while the getting's good. Have you seen her lately? Trash. She could be the next Lindsay Lohan. Anyway...this is supposed to be about three really good looking boys.

I've added pictures here to give you a glimpse at what I think is a slight resemblance to the Legends of the Fall brothers. Maybe you can see it too. Luke is the put together, clean cut, blue eyed gentlemen like Quinn. Chris is a little wild and extremely HOT like Pitt. And Liam is slightly innocent and naive, but still super handsome like Thomas (Disclaimer: Like Thomas was in the movie not before or since then.)



Of course, if you've seen the classic, then you know, these three do not fare well over the course of the movie. Young Samuel (Henry Thomas...that's right...from ET) dies in battle.

Tristan (Remember how great of a name that was when you first heard it? Then everyone named their kid that and now there's a bunch of pimple faced sweaty skinny teenage boys running around being called, irreverently, Tristan.) Anyway, Tristan, played by Brad Pitt at his finest, was the wild card of the bunch. He was the wanderer, the free spirit, and naturally, his father's favorite. But he experiences great loss too.


After Samuel dies, Alfred (Aidan Quinn, who was really hot back in the day! Remember how he was the "perfect" man in Practical Magic. Gosh I love that movie. ) Yeah, so Alfred and Tristan basically fight it out over Susannah the rest of the movie. The feud is hard to watch because it just rips the brother apart. In case you don't remember the movie ends with more tragedy. No one gets to be happy.

You gotta wonder if Miley is the Susannah of the Hemsworth Brothers.
HAHAHAHAHA! Okay...yeah right. I mean, it's bad enough that Liam fell for her but there is NO WAY Chris ever could. Look at him. Plus he's truly devoted to his wife and baby. (Sigh. It's like once a baby's involved you have to really respect the marriage. Unless your name is Scarlett Johansson or Abbie Cornish, then I think all bets are off.)

Maybe fame will be the wicked mistress that disrupts these three. Already, Luke is hardly on anyone's radar. And it must be difficult to see your obviously better looking younger brothers come up and land multi-million dollar movie deals.

Liam and Chris can just battle it out for sexiest man alive and grow bitter over that. Right?











I am sure every set of brothers in Hollywood has had their moments of jealousy and envy. Some of these disputes go public...rarely do they end in tragedy like the Legends of the Fall. Though with TMZ around, sometimes things seem that dramatic.


My prediction is that the Hemsworth's will join the ranks of the Hansons, Baldwins, Jonas', and many more. Surviving the fame and fortune of celebrity with a few rough moments, but loyalty, class, and handsomeness above all.


(That last part kind of sounds like a pledge to the Hemsworth brothers!)

Which brother do you like best? 

And HOW HOT was Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall!?
