Liam Hemsworth celebrated his brother Chris Hemsworth’s 42nd birthday on August 11 with an Instagram post that quickly garnered significant attention online. The photo, taken during a family holiday in Ibiza, Spain, features brothers Liam, Chris, and Luke. While Liam and Luke are wearing t-shirts, a shirtless Chris displays his famously impressive physique.
Liam’s playful caption read, “Happy birthday brother Chris! Thanks for always being such a wonderful legend. Never change. I hope I have abs like you when I grow up. Love you.”
The post drew an immediate and widespread reaction from fans and fellow celebrities, with many leaving admiring comments. One user wrote, “Jesus Thor @chrishemsworth what are they feeding you,” while Filipino-American actor and stunt performer James Patrick Hayes commented, “I’ll take the abs, the boat invite, and maybe just 10% of the Hemsworth genetics. Happy Birthday, Chris!”
Chris’s wife, Elsa Pataky, also shared a birthday tribute, posting a heartfelt video montage of their family moments. “Happy Birthday to my Rocky Balboa. You’re the best of the best,” she wrote in the caption.
Hemsworth’s physical condition is reportedly for his return as Thor in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday. He previously fueled anticipation by sharing a workout video on Instagram with the caption, “A little Avengers pre game warm up, coming in hot.” The highly anticipated Marvel movie is scheduled for release on December 18, 2026.
