I'm Cal Newport and this is Deep Questions, the show about cultivating a deep life at a distracted world.

So I'm here in my deep work HQ back in the good old United States of America joined as always by my producer Jesse Jesse I enjoyed I just got back, but it is good to be back to our own studio again.

Yeah, it's good to have you back.

I'll say, here's something that happened actually, it's kind of interesting.

So I was staying and this

sentence has the most British words per sentence the highest density of

British words that you're ever going to hear in one sentence. I was staying in a

hotel behind Victoria Embankment not far from the Royal Horse Guards in Trafalgar Square.

As many British words as I could put in the one sentence.

Anyway, so towards the end of the trip, sort of interesting, I noticed the hotel right across. It's on a small backstreet, the hotel right across, the entrance right across from us. There was like a crowd, like there was crowds and like some security set up so we asked what was going on and

they said oh it's Chris Himsworth is staying there because he was in town for

the premiere of the the new George Miller Mad Max movie.

Himsworth being the actor who plays, Australian actor who plays famously Thor.

And you do his workouts?

Yeah, so of course, and I use his workouts, right?

So now I'm thinking, and I think you could agree with this.

I'm like, oh shoot.

Like, now is it going to be a whole thing?

Because, you know, I'm the same height as Chris.

We have a similar physique, I would say, similar chiseled superhero feature.

So now everyone's going to be trying to get my autograph and thinking I'm Chris

Hymsworth.
