Hemsworth plays the love interest of Miley Cyrus's character in the film. Though he eventually lost the part to Chris in May, Disney announced later the same week that Hemsworth had landed the part of Will Blakelee in the 2010 drama The Last Song, based on the Nicholas Sparks novel by the same name. Hemsworth moved to the United States in March 2009 for screen tests. Hemsworth's brother, Chris, told Movieline that just a few hours after Hemsworth learned he would not appear in The Expendables, director Kenneth Branagh called to ask him to test for the lead role in the 2011 film Thor. In 2009, Hemsworth was selected to act opposite Sylvester Stallone in Stallone's 2010 film, The Expendables, but his character was written out of the script (Hemsworth later co-starred in The Expendables 2). He also made a brief appearance as an MIT student in the film Knowing. Hemsworth later had roles in the television series Satisfaction, and starred in the British film Triangle. In 2008, Hemsworth began acting on the children's television show The Elephant Princess, playing Marcus, the attractive lead guitarist of the protagonist's band. In the show, Josh was an athletic paraplegic who supported and began a relationship with character Bridget Parker after she was paralyzed down one side of her body in a car crash. Hemsworth's character, Josh Taylor, was a recurring character from 2007 to 2008. The week of July 8, 2007, Hemsworth began filming episodes for Neighbours, an Australian soap opera his brother Luke had previously starred in. He attended his first audition at the age of sixteen and began his career in 2007, with guest spots on the shows Home and Away and McLeod's Daughters. He began to seriously consider following his elder brothers' footsteps in high school by participating in school plays. Prior to becoming an actor, Hemsworth laid floors for six months. He and his brother Chris first stayed in the guest house of Chris's manager, William Ward, before renting their own Los Angeles apartment. In March 2009, Hemsworth moved to the United States to pursue his career there. Hemsworth says he spent much of his time there surfing with his brothers. Hemsworth has said that though there is competition for jobs among them, it is friendly: "We are brothers and we are always competitive, but it is a good thing, it pushes us and we are always happy whenever someone books something." When Hemsworth was in year 8, he and his family relocated to Phillip Island. He has two older brothers, Chris Hemsworth and Luke Hemsworth, who also work as actors. He is the son of Leonie Hemsworth, an English teacher, and Craig Hemsworth, a social-services counselor. Hemsworth was born in Melbourne, Australia.
