Chris Hemsworth, 31, strips down to his underwear for a scene-stealing performance in the new comedy Vacation. And although the scene garnered lots of laughs from movie-goers, the film's star, Christina Applegate, says Hemsworth's physique is no laughing matter.

"It didn't make me laugh because we were just in awe of his abs," she tells WHO of filming the scene. "It got quiet on the set there for awhile."

Hemsworth stars in the Vacation reboot as Stone Crandall, an up-and-coming anchorman who is married to Audrey Griswold (Leslie Mann) - the sister of lead character Rusty Griswold, played by Ed Helms.

Although the two worked closely together on the film, Applegate says she remains mystified as to how Hemsworth was able to get into such great shape.

"He said 'I don't really do anything, I just surf,' and I'm like 'that is not from surfing guy. You don't want to give us your secrets? That is not okay.'"
