The latest Avengers movie has sparked a rush of online flight searches for Thor's new home - even though it is a fictional place. It is revealed in Avengers: Endgame that Thor is living in a quaint settlement called New Asgard, five years after his crushing defeat at the climax of Avengers: Infinity War. The location is depicted as a fishing village with a picturesque harbour that lies amid rolling hills. New Asgard scenes for the movie were filmed in St Abbs in the Scottish Borders, pictured Chris Hemsworth, 35, who plays Thor, ate five times a day - consuming up to 3500 calories - to bulk up for his role But some people, according to kiwi.com, are apparently having trouble distinguishing between fact and fiction - the flight booking site claims it has recorded a 'significant number' of searches for the coastal location. It says it shows that the latest Marvel superhero film is clearly inspiring holidaymakers. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next The amazing tropical holiday that's just like being in...

Avengers: Endgame only opened in cinemas last week but has already sealed its place in history as one of the most financially successful films ever made. Some people, according to kiwi.com, are apparently having trouble distinguishing between fact and fiction - the flight booking site claims it has recorded a 'significant number' of searches for 'New Asgard'. Pictured is St Abbs' lifeboat station Filming for Avengers: Endgame took place in the Scottish fishing village in Berwickshire two years ago This image shows how St Abbs sits on a stunningly rugged coastline The Disney-Marvel Studios film's first weekend box office of $1.2billion (£922million) crushed numerous Hollywood records. For starters, it became the fastest film ever to break the $1billion (£768million) barrier, doing so in just five days. The movie had been forecast to make between $260 million and $300 million in U.S. and Canadian theatres. But moviegoers turned out in such droves that Endgame flew past the previous record of $257.7 million, set last year by Avengers: Infinity War when it narrowly surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Endgame's first weekend box office of $1.2billion (£922million) crushed numerous Hollywood records Scarlett Johansson, 34, who plays Black Widow in the films, fasted for up to 15 hours a day to prepare Endgame, and took part in Olympic-level weightlifting, her personal trainer has revealed. Her meals were time-restricted, meaning she fasted for a minimum of 12 hours every day but, depending on her filming schedule, sometimes this was pushed to 15. While she cut back on food to keep in shape, Chris Hemsworth, 35, who plays Thor, ate five times a day - consuming up to 3,500 calories - to bulk up for the role. login.libproxy.vassar.edu ezproxy.lib.uh.edu/login?url=https://asiaporntube.pro |

Princess Diana's much loved car is up for sale, 25 years after her death.
The Ford Escort RS was driven by the princess from 1985 to 1988, during the early years of her sons William and Harry's childhoods.
After being won on a radio station competition in the 90s, it was privately owned for a number of years before becoming part of a Ford RS collection, where it has been kept in 'top condition'.
Much less flashy than her later cars, mother-of-two Diana shunned the Royals' Rolls-Royces and Daimlers for the modest Escort for a time and was often pictured driving it in London.
Silverstone Auctions Classic Car Specialist Arwell Richards told FEMAIL: 'We wouldn't be surprised if it went for over £100,000.'

The car would have been driven by the Princess with a detective in the passenger seat.
It will go under the hammer at Silverstone Auctions, in Leamington Spa, on August 27.
The auctioneers continued: 'Parallels could be drawn with the RS Turbo's reputation as the People's Sports Car and the honorific of People's Princess bestowed by the British public on Princess Diana.
'The RS Turbo was never designed to be driven by the wife of the second in line to the British throne nor to transport the future King.

'We note with interest that whilst Diana's later choice of luxury cars may have been more expensive when new, but the Ford Escort RS Turbo far outperforms them at auction, selling in some cases for three times the price of equivalent models.'
The 132 horsepower Ford was a replacement for her previous Escort - which was red and had a canvas folding roof.
SO14, the royal protection service, made her change this because it gave her little privacy and no protection.

The stealthy, black Escort RS Turbo was insisted on by the Diana and was given a special 'stealth makeover' by Ford's Special Vehicle Engineering department.
It was given a regular five-slat front grille, rather than the usual three, and a second rear view mirror for the protection officer with a radio in the glove box.
But it was still delivered with the blue RS striped decals and front fog lamps.
It is thought that the Ford provided a break from her official duties and would have been used for meeting girlfriends for lunch or nipping to the shops.

Silverstone Auctions Classic Car Specialist Arwel Richards said: 'We have sold a number of motorcars that have had a Royal pedigree but this car ticks every box in terms of history, rarity, condition and mileage.
The market adores early Ford RS models.

'When Royal cars come to auction they're usually Rolls-Royces or Range Rovers so to offer the very best example of the working class hero's sports hatchback with such provenance is perhaps unique and therefore very exciting.
'Isn't it fascinating that the Escort RS Turbo was to be synonymous with the white stilettos of Essex but it's first champion was the most glamorous woman on earth?'
After Diana, the car was bought for modest £2,638 by Ford manager Geoff King for his wife.
In September 1993, it was part of a promotional giveaway by radio station Kiss FM and won by a Miss Jones of Essex.
It was then owned from 1994 to 2008 by a Mr Windsor before being added to one of the best Ford RS collections in the UK.
The princess had a love for fords and was bought a Ford Escort Ghia in Silver as a present by Prince Charles, the car was famously used by Diana during her days working at a nursery

With less than 25,000 miles on the clock, the car is in exceptional condition and comes with a Lifetime Tracker, a spare key, Ford internal memos and the car's registration documents.
Princess Diana's was commonly pictured in another Ford, a 1981 Ford Escort Ghia Saloon that was up for auction last as part of a specialist Royalty auction after having disappeared from public view for over two decades.
The Ford Escort Ghia in Silver was the car given by Prince Charles to his fiancé as an engagement present in May 1981, two months before the Royal Wedding and used by her until August 1982.
It was reportedly owned by a female who's identity was withheld, and she upkept the condition of the car including a silver frog mascot on the bonnet which was a copy of a gift from Diana's sister, Lady Sarah Spencer, to remind her of the fairy tale of a beautiful girl whose kiss turns a frog into a prince.
It was estimated the Ford would reach £40,000 at auction and it sold for £47,000.

Below Deck Down Under finally kicked off on hayu last week, and there's already plenty of drama between the crew. One of the main storylines so far has revolved around outspoken deckhand Ben Crawley clashing with his superior, Jamie Sayed. And if Ben looks familiar to some viewers, it's because he already has a history on Australian television. Familiar face: Below Deck Down Under's new deckhand Ben Crawley (pictured) has a history on television The deckhand previously hosted the children's show What Do You Know? on ABC3 back in 2011. The series ran for 60 episodes and saw children between the ages of 12-15 competing against each other in trivia challenges. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Heidi Montag claims Lady Gaga sabotaged her music career... Below Deck Down Under's Captain Jason Chambers teases 'wild'...

Below Deck Down Under just launched with an explosive start, and the handsome Captain Jason Chambers already has viewers swooning. Remember me? He previously hosted the children's show What Do You Know? (pictured) on ABC3 back in 2011 While he may be the youngest captain in the Below Deck franchise, Jason isn't afraid to do whatever it takes to ensure the guests have the best experience possible - whether that be setting up idyllic scuba diving trips or making sure there's always time to squeeze in a ride on a jet ski. And he won't be alone in dealing with the demanding rota of charter guests, with fan favourite Aesha Scott making a welcome return as Chief Stew. Despite having two seasons under her belt on Below Deck Mediterranean, Aesha faces a whole new set of challenges with the Down Under crew. Exciting! Below Deck Down Under finally kicked off on hayu last week with three explosive episodes dropping at once While her bubbly personality and charm may have got her far, she soon realises that she has her work cut out keeping everyone in check on Thalassa. Aesha soon finds herself butting heads with the self-confessed 'arrogant' Chef Ryan McKeown, who has very particular ideas on how to run the kitchen - even if it goes against what the wealthy guests may expect. New to yacht life is former police officer and shirtless waiter Jamie Sayed, who takes on the role of Bosun and isn't afraid to call out the others when he believes they aren't taking certain safety aspects seriously.

Future boss Byng-Thorne, who has faced a shareholder backlash over a massive pay package, said the company had delivered 'robust growth' The queen of publishing, Zillah Byng-Thorne, hailed record results after an ‘excellent' six months at the magazine house. The FTSE 250 company behind The Week and Country Life upped its guidance for the current financial year after sales in the half year to April rose by almost 50 per cent. Record results: Future boss Zillah Byng-Thorne (pictured), who has faced a shareholder backlash over a massive pay package, said the company had delivered 'robust growth' Future said sales were boosted by the added income from its recent takeovers. The magazine publisher is one of the best performing businesses on the London Stock Exchange, having seen shares jump nine-fold in the past five years thanks to a wave of acquisitions. It said it is showing resilience despite soaring inflation pushing up printing costs and brushed off fears of advertisers reining in spending which has dogged giants such as Facebook. Byng-Thorne, who is one of Britain's best-paid chief executives, said: ‘We have delivered robust growth despite an inflationary environment and prior year comparators enhanced by the impact of Covid-19. ‘We are pleased to be on track to deliver another strong full-year of profitable growth despite the wider macro- economic outlook.'

It came as sales in the first half of its financial year hit £404million, a 48 per cent jump from the same time last year.
