Today in Bro: Liam Hemsworth Eats 45 White Castle Burgers, Pukes, Then Saves Planet


Apparently when Australians find a restaurant that they don’t have in Australia, the S.O.P is to eat the food from said restaurant until they vomit. Or at least for Liam Hemsworth it is. During a visit to Kentucky while he was filming the first Hunger Games, Hemsworth discovered a place that he’d only heard about in myth and legend, the Valhalla of Harold and Kumar, yes folks, a White Castle. He and fellow cast member Josh Hutcherson then did what any clear-headed individuals who valued their health and arteries would do, ordered 90 burgers to split between them.

As Hemsworth told host Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live, they ate the burgers and then, "went out to (Hutcherson’s) garden and threw up together"—as one generally does when eating such high-end cuisine. So impressed by this tale of excess were the good folks at White Castle that, after hearing this story, they added Hemsworth to the White Castle Hall of Fame and offered to donate $20,000 in his name to a charity of his choice. So there you have it. When you’re a movie star and you vomit up three days worth of food, the world becomes a better place.
