Liam Hemsworth

Liam Hemsworth began dating his co-star Miley Cyrus in June 2009, during the filming of the movie 'The Last Song'. However, they had an on-and-off relationship for three years, until they announced their engagement in June 2012. They lived together for over a year before separating amicably in September 2013. In early 2016, they rekindled their relationship and are currently engaged again.

Inspired by his parents, who worked for child protection for twenty years, he became an ambassador for the Australian Childhood Foundation. He intends to be a good role model to children.

Hemsworth, who is a vegetarian, was named the Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity of 2016 by PETA. He mentioned that eating vegetarian food makes him feel positive "mentally and physically".

Liam Hemsworth was born on January 13, 1990, in Melbourne, Australia to Leonie and Craig Hemsworth. His father worked as a local social-services counselor while his mother was an English teacher.

He has spent his childhood years in Melbourne as well as Bulman, a small town in the Outback, where his parents worked in a ranch. His most vivid childhood memories are having adventures with his brothers in the wilderness of Bulman, among buffalos and crocodiles.

When he was eight years old, his family settled in Phillip Island, where his parents still live. During his teenage years, he spent much of his time surfing with his brothers.

He has two older brothers, Luke and Chris, both actors. While Luke is a notable figure in Australian television, Chris is an A-list Hollywood star. The brothers share a healthy competition and help out each other with their projects.

When his older brother Luke temporarily started a flooring business after being disillusioned with acting, Liam started to help his brother. In 2009, he came to the US following his older brother Chris after Sylvester Stallone showed interest in a taped script reading he did in Australia.

Liam Hemsworth participated in school plays and started auditioning at the age of 16. His professional career started in 2007 when he made guest appearances in two Australian soap operas, 'Home and Away' and 'McLeod's Daughters'.

His first major role was in the show 'Neighbours' in which his older brother Luke acted previously. He portrayed the role of Josh Taylor, an athletic paraplegic, from 2007 to 2008.

In 2008, he got a major role in the children's television show 'The Elephant Princess'. For 26 episodes, he played the role of Marcus, the lead guitarist of the band formed by the protagonist.

In 2009, he appeared in a couple of episodes of the television series 'Satisfaction'. The same year, he also got his break in the big screen, acting in the British film 'Triangle'. He also appeared in a short role in the film 'Knowing'.

He was cast in the 2010 movie 'The Expendables' by Sylvester Stallone. However, after his character was cut out of the script, Stallone offered him a role in the 2012 sequel 'The Expendables 2'.

'The Last Song' was one of Liam Hemsworth's major performances initially, and earned him a number of awards and nominations. The movie performed well in the box office and grossed a total of $89,041,656 worldwide.

'The Hunger Games' film series is by far his most successful work so far. All the movies in the series were commercially successful and finished first at the North American box office during both their opening and second weekends. Among the highest grossing film series based on young adult books, 'The Hunger Games' series ranks second in North America after the 'Harry Potter' series, earning over $1.4 billion.
