Luke Hemsworth Shares Insights on Working with Morgan Freeman in "Gunner"

In a light-hearted interview with Page Six, Luke Hemsworth humorously claimed that he taught acting legend Morgan Freeman “everything he knows” while filming the new action thriller “Gunner.” The 43-year-old actor expressed that sharing the screen with the Oscar-winning star was a significant motivation for taking on the role. Hemsworth admitted to being a fanboy of Freeman, revealing his eagerness to learn from the veteran actor about his experiences with other Hollywood icons, including Jim Carrey. During their time together, Hemsworth sought Freeman's insights on his favorite director, only to receive a playful response. Freeman named Clint Eastwood, joking that the director is preferable because he “doesn’t have so many questions.” In “Gunner,” Hemsworth portrays a father on a mission to rescue his sons from a perilous drug cartel, a role that resonates with his own experiences as a father of three daughters with his wife, Samantha. Reflecting on his parenting style, Hemsworth described himself as laid-back, allowing his children the freedom to explore and learn from their surroundings. He noted the challenges and joys of parenting, particularly as his eldest daughter recently turned 16, marking a significant milestone in their family life. Finally, Hemsworth shared a glimpse into his relationship with his brothers, Chris and Liam, humorously stating that they all become “d–kheads” when they are together, highlighting the camaraderie and playful banter that defines their sibling bond.
