Wit & Attitude Quote by Liam Hemsworth

It lands like a joke you laugh at before you realize it’s also a family myth being rehearsed out loud. Hemsworth frames the story in the language of possession and exorcism, but the real subject is how families police personality: who gets “fixed,” who gets written off, who gets cast as entertainment. The nicknames, “Devil Child” and “Triple” (a casual invocation of 666), sound playful on the surface, the kind of roughhousing that passes for affection in certain households. Underneath, they’re labels with consequences, a way of turning a kid’s intensity into an identity.

The line about his brother being “a little crazy” is doing double duty. It normalizes volatility as a family trait while also revealing the soft hierarchy of concern: Chris is still salvageable, still worth the ritual of correction. Liam, meanwhile, becomes the punchline and the scapegoat, “too far gone” in a way that’s supposed to be funny but also absolves the adults. If someone is “unexorciseable,” no one has to ask what they’re responding to, or whether “demon” is just a convenient name for a temperament that doesn’t fit.

Coming from an actor, the anecdote also reads as origin story. Hollywood thrives on personas that feel prewritten: the wild one, the unpredictable one, the one who can’t be tamed. Hemsworth isn’t just recounting childhood teasing; he’s showing how a role gets assigned early, then carried like a brand.
