He’s made a name for himself as Marvel superhero Thor and proving why he’s built to play the son of Odin, Chris Hemsworth didn’t shy away from displaying his buffed-up physique out in Byron Bay.
If you’ve got it, flaunt it and all that…
Chris enjoyed a family day out with wife Elsa Pataky and their three children in their Australian hometown in New South Wales.
The Hollywood couple and their brood were seen on a fishing trip, with Chris opting to go shirtless for the occasion, just because.
Sporting a baseball cap and shades, the actor let his ripped bod do the talking as he taught his kids the ropes when it came to snagging the perfect catch.
Elsa made sure to get in on the action too and was dressed down in patterned leggings and a white gym vest.
She and Chris, who married back in 2010, are parents to daughter India, six, and four-year-old twins Sasha and Tristan.
When he’s not spending time with his family, Chris will no doubt be preparing for his next film role which will see him become WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan.
Chris has been cast as Hogan in the champion wrestler’s biopic which will follow his career and the rise of Hulkmania.
But bulking up for the role will be no problem for Chris, who is used to smashing out workouts to get in shape for his Marvel alter-ego, Thor.
We’re talking seriously intense gym sessions that Jack Black tried to recreate – and we were sweating by just watching him.
Into his fitness, Chris has actually created his own fitness app, alongside Elsa, that includes Hemsworth-approved meal plans, workouts and mindfulness exercises.
Chris joked in an interview with Men’s Health that being known for his muscular physique means he does feel the pressure to stay in shape.
He said: ‘Occasionally, I’ll see paparazzi poking out of the bushes and I’m, like, “How’s my rig look? Am I on point, or have I slacked off lately?”‘
Chris confessed in the same interview that he almost quit Hollywood, following a lull in his career, and if he had, there would have been no Thor with him at the helm.
‘I almost quit,’ he admitted. ‘I was at the stage of thinking, “I’m going to go back to Australia. I’m going to knock on Home and Away’s door and ask them for a gig.”‘
Luckily for us, he landed his make-or-break audition for Cabin In The Woods, Thor came knocking shortly after and the rest, as they say, is history.
