Father Knows Best
Sir Anthony Hopkins is undeniably a great actor, so casting him to the Marvel Cinematic Universe was a good idea. He plays Odin in the Thor franchise, and was asked to go offhand in the emotional scene where he banishes Thor from Asgard. The tears you saw on the big screen were anything but fake.
Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were so moved by Hopkins’ performance, it made both stars break down into tears! I guess that’s what you get when you cast an award-winning actor to discipline his children, even if those children are Gods. Odin did not spare the rod and so designed a powerful scene that reduced two grown men to tears.
