Hemsworth Offers Rodtang Stunt Double Role On Set

Chris Hemsworth floated the idea of bringing Rodtang Jitmuangnon onto his stunt team during a recent Thailand production.

The Muay Thai champion met Hemsworth in Ratchaburi on October 19 while the actor filmed scenes for Extraction 3, according to BJPenn.com. Their friendship started online in 2024 after Hemsworth began following the Thai striker on Instagram, then escalated when the Hollywood star recorded a personal clip ahead of Rodtang's November clash with Jacob Smith at ONE 169.

Thai Champion Critiqued Actor's Fight Scenes

Between camera setups, Rodtang demonstrated techniques and suggested adjustments to Hemsworth's choreography. The playful coaching turned into a recruitment pitch. "He laughed and said, 'Why don't you come join as my stunt double?'" Rodtang recalled, per the report.

Hemsworth wrapped his Thailand schedule on the 24th but extended multiple invitations before leaving. The actor proposed flying Rodtang to America in December and told him he plans to attend a fight in person when his calendar allows.

Rodtang found the Australian warm off-camera as well. Hemsworth approached him after finishing takes to shake hands and snap photos during downtime, the fighter said. They now message regularly.

Rodtang meets Nong-O in a flyweight Grand Prix quarterfinal at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on November 13.
