Chris Hemsworth reveals the ingenious trick he uses when he forgets someone's name as he appears on the Hot Ones season premiere

Chris Hemsworth appeared on the May 23 season premiere of Hot Ones.

While talking up his film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, host Sean Evans asked the 40-year-old Australian actor if he has a go-to tactic to deflect when comic fans ask him niche questions.

He answered, 'No, I've been pretty open about having read some comics but not others.' However, the question prompted him to admit to using a clever workaround when forgetting someone's name — faking a coughing fit until another person interjects.

'I do this thing sometimes when... I'm not real good with names,' he said. 'Someone will come up and go, "Chris, good to see you!"... I'll have my wife with me and I'll go, "Hey! [begins to feign cough]." She'll go, "Hi, I'm Elsa. This is John."'

'Pretending to have a cough,' he explained. 'So I can be like, "Hey, good to see you," and then you wait for someone else to step in.'

Hot Ones promoted Hemsworth's episode earlier this week on social media.

Sharing a promotional image of the heartthrob with the premiere date, the caption read, 'This week on the season PREMIERE of @HotOnes, we got @chrishemsworth vs. The Wings of Death. Tune in Thursday @ 11AM ET.'

And on Thursday the account shared a reel featuring the star's reactions after taking a bite of each wing, which featured increasing spice levels.

Evans indulged in wing after wing, resisting the urge to drink milk to offset the heat.

The father-of-three recently revealed the surprising prop he kept as a souvenir from the Furiosa movie set.

His villainous character Dementus rode a unique and heavily modified motorbike in the movie, which he kept once filming wrapped.

'I don't know if I should admit — I didn't steal but I definitely said, "This is coming with me,"' he told The Daily Telegraph.

'I took the motorbike I had in the film. It had a radial aeroplane engine as its drive mechanism,' he added.

He added that director George Miller crafted a brilliant cautionary tale which looked at several modern day issues through a fictional lens.

'What's remarkable about what George has done is to be quite accurate in the potentiality of what is to come,' Chris marveled.

The Hollywood hunk stars in the action movie alongside Anya Taylor-Joy.

Thursday is a big day for Hemsworth, as he will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his incredible contributions to motion pictures.

Miller is among the speakers slated to give remarks about the actor.
