During an interview with Capital FM in the United Kingdom, the actress revealed that the Australian hunk abstained from eating meat prior to their kissing scene.
'He's very nice. 'He didn't eat meat that morning because I'm vegan,' she explained to the outlet.
Aside from the jokes, the Black Swan star recalled being impressed by Hemsworth's thoughtfulness, especially since she'd never asked him to give up his carnivorous ways for her.
'Wow, that was really thoughtful. That's not something I'm upset about or care about, but he was simply being considerate. 'He's just a really nice guy,' she exclaimed.
During the Capital FM interview, she was joined by her other Thor: Love And Thunder co-star, Tessa Thompson, who joked that she "didn't even know [Hemsworth] could go without eating meat."
After decades of vegetarianism, Portman went vegan in 2011. Unlike a vegetarian diet, which excludes meat, a vegan diet excludes meat as well as animal products such as dairy, eggs, and honey.
The vegan actress, like Hemsworth, was asked to bulk up her famously petite figure for her character Jane Foster's transformation into the Mighty Thor.
It was the first time the Oscar winner had been asked to gain weight for a role, and she had previously revealed that she lifted weights and drank protein shakes to get into superhero shape.
She is said to have trained for ten months to become her character, who is supposed to be six feet tall - nearly ten inches taller than her 5'3" height "height.
She added, laughing, "As a five-foot-three woman, I doubt I'll ever be cast as a 6-foot character again." I loved it when people noticed how big I was.'
Portman compared the process to her Oscar-winning performance in 2010's Black Swan, in which she famously lost 20 pounds through diet and exercise but now had to gain weight and muscle.
'I was asked to get as small as possible on Black Swan,' she reveals. 'I was told to grow as big as possible here. That's an incredible challenge - and also a woman's state of mind.'
'I feel like I'm at the point in my career where I'm just trying to impress my kids,' Portman told Variety.
'My 5-year-old and 10-year-old were enthralled by the process of visiting the set and seeing me dressed up in a cape.' It added to the cool factor. It's unusual for my children to say, "Please go to work!" Usually, the opposite is true. '
According to Variety, the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe entry fell just short of expectations, which were for a $150 million opening.
The fourth solo Thor film starring Chris Hemsworth currently has a B+ CinemaScore.
