Kevin Winter—Getty Images by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Nov 24, 2014 7:17 PM UTC When Woody Harrelson hosted _Saturday Night Live_ a few weeks ago, his [opening monologue](http://youtu.be/oZRh6J9ezfw) made it clear he has smoked a lot of marijuana in his day. He even had to recruit his young _T_ _he Hunger Games_ costars to help him remember the year 1989, due to his hazy memory. (He also mistook Jennifer Lawrence for Taylor Swift, but he was _probably_ joking.) Keep that in mind when you watch this video, recently unearthed by [Vulture](http://www.vulture.com/2014/11/harrelson-learns-the-hemsworths-are-brothers.html), of Harrelson coming to the realization that his _The Hunger Games_ co-star Liam Hemsworth is the brother of _Thor_ star and current Sexiest Man Alive, Chris Hemsworth. This happened just last year — a full three years after Harrelson and Hemsworth started working together on _The Hunger Games_ movies. Apparently the last name and similar good looks weren’t enough to tip him off to this fact and he only made the connection while on the press circuit last year for _The Hunger Games_: _Catching Fire_. \[H/T [Vulture](http://www.vulture.com/2014/11/harrelson-learns-the-hemsworths-are-brothers.html)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3602499/woody-harrelson-hunger-games-liam-chris-hemsworth-brothers/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3602499/woody-harrelson-hunger-games-liam-chris-hemsworth-brothers/"},"headline":"Watch Woody Harrelson Figure Out Liam and Chris Hemsworth Are Brothers","datePublished":"2014-11-24T19:17:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:48.137Z","description":"Maybe Harrelson's just trolling.
