In addition to the comment, Hogan, 67, shared several side-by-side photos of the stars.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Earlier this year, it was revealed that Hemsworth would be portraying Hogan in a movie about the performer and reality star's life.
Of the film, Hemsworth said in a July interview with Games Radar for its “Total Film” series, "This movie is going to be a really fun project," he shared (via Comic Book). "As you can imagine, the preparation for the role will be insanely physical. I will have to put on more size than I ever have before, even more than I put on for Thor. There is the accent as well as the physicality and the attitude."

After Hemsworth posted the pic, his co-star Chris Pratt teased: “Hey bud, Just heard from my trainer and he needs you to stop working out because since we’re gonna be in the same movie and everything he doesn’t want me to stand next to you if you look like that so I’m gonna need you to put on 25 lbs real quick cool thanks.”
