Australian import Liam Hemsworth left a successful soap opera stint in his home country to romance Miley Cyrus in 2010's The Last Song. He shared his first kiss with the teen queen on set and carried that chemistry off screen.

Long before making girls swoon Stateside, Hemsworth followed older brother Chris (Star Trek, Thor) into acting, nabbing his first major role at 17 playing a paraplegic on the sudsy Aussie TV hit Neighbours.

Now a Hollywood fixture, the rugged actor has traded melodrama for action stardom in Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables 2 and 2012's blockbuster adaptation of The Hunger Games, in which he plays muscular District 12 hunter Gale opposite Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson.
