Actor Chris Hemsworth admitted he kept two different versions of Thor's hammer from the Marvel movie sets during the time he was playing the Norse god — much to the dismay of his wife, Elsa Pataky.

"This is the house where the hammers are. I have two hammers here," a proud Hemsworth informed Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday night. Hemsworth admitted, though, that the hammer has "a habit of dancing around different locations," and when he puts it on the mantel, "my wife puts it back in the cupboard," or when he displays it in the kitchen, it again "goes back in the cupboard."
