Who Is Liam Hemsworth?

Liam Hemsworth is the youngest of the three Hemsworth brothers, and the one who built his career on quiet, steady leading-man roles rather than superheroes. His defining role is Gale Hawthorne, the loyal best friend of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games film series, which he played in all four films from 2012 to 2015. More recently he stepped into one of the biggest roles on streaming television, taking over as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s The Witcher from season 4 in 2025, succeeding Henry Cavill.

Hemsworth’s path to Hollywood began on Australian television, and his first big break came in The Last Song (2010), where he met Miley Cyrus. The pair married in December 2018 and divorced in January 2020. Since then he has kept a lower profile than his brother Chris, choosing a mix of thrillers, romantic dramas and television, and he has been in a relationship with Australian model Gabriella Brooks since 2019. The couple announced their engagement in December 2025.

Early Life & Background

Liam Hemsworth was born on January 13, 1990, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, to Leonie, an English teacher, and Craig Hemsworth, a social-services counsellor. He is the youngest of three brothers: Luke, the eldest, and Chris, the middle brother, both of whom also became actors. The family lived in Melbourne and in Bulman, in the Northern Territory, and spent time on Phillip Island, where the brothers grew up surfing.

Hemsworth began acting as a teenager, taking lessons at 16 and landing a role as Josh Taylor in the long-running soap opera Neighbours in 2007. He followed that with a part as Marcus in the children’s television series The Elephant Princess (2008–2009) and a role in the drama Satisfaction (2009). In 2009 he moved to the United States, auditioning for the role of Thor alongside his brother Chris — Chris won the part, and Liam instead landed his first leading film role.

Career

Hemsworth’s first leading film role was Will Blakelee in The Last Song (2010), the Nicholas Sparks romance in which he starred opposite Miley Cyrus. He met Cyrus on the film’s set, and the movie’s success put him on Hollywood’s radar. Two years later he was cast as Gale Hawthorne in The Hunger Games (2012), the adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ bestselling novels. He played Gale in all four films — The Hunger Games (2012), Catching Fire (2013), Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014) and Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015) — a franchise that grossed nearly $3 billion worldwide.

Between the Hunger Games films, Hemsworth took a range of roles: the thrillers Paranoia (2013) and Empire State (2013), and the Australian comedy-drama The Dressmaker (2015) with Kate Winslet. In 2016 he played fighter pilot Jake Morrison in Independence Day: Resurgence, the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster. He later starred in the romantic comedy Isn’t It Romantic (2019), the crime thriller Killerman (2019), the Quibi series Most Dangerous Game (2020), the Australian thriller Poker Face (2022) and the Netflix romance Lonely Planet (2024) opposite Laura Dern.

In 2022, Netflix announced that Hemsworth would take over the role of Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher from Henry Cavill, and he made his debut as the monster hunter in season 4, which premiered in 2025. The casting was one of the most talked-about recasts in streaming television, and his performance was closely watched by the show’s large fanbase. Away from acting, Hemsworth is an ambassador for the Australian Childhood Foundation, which works to protect children from abuse.
