He may play a 1,500-year-old Norse god on screen, but Chris Hemsworth is celebrating his real-life 39th birthday with the help of his inner circle. Paying tribute to the Marvel star on Aug. 11, Chris's friends and brothers shared a series of hilarious throwback photos revealing some of the actor's most embarrassing moments, and just like the God of Thunder [1], it looks like Chris never really had an awkward phase.
"Happy birthday @chrishemsworth," Liam Hemsworth captioned a photo of his older brother with a beard full of snow after wiping out on a snowboarding trip. "Don't change a thing. You're perfect. Love you." Jumping in on the fun, Chris's older brother, Luke Hemsworth [2], posted a picture of himself wearing a shirt with Chris's face on it. "It's like a pirate had a baby with an angel," the shirt reads, quoting "Avengers: Infinity War [3]."
"You're like the rich and famous uncle i always wished for. Dreams can come true."
While the brothers had a good time poking fun at Chris, their birthday messages for the star still held a tinge of sweetness. "Happy birthday @chrishemsworth we've had our fair share of arguments, disputes and disagreements," Luke wrote on Instagram. "We've traded a few good whacks, slaps, kicks and headbutts. But honestly and simply . . . I love you bro. You're an exceptional human. There's no other face I love more on my T-shirt's. #wasmymumapirate?"
Continuing the fun, Chris's trainer, Luke Zocchi [4], jokingly posted a birthday tribute to the actor alongside a photo of Liam. "A big Happy Birthday to the man I call the big dog!" he wrote [5]. "You are a true friend I hope you have an amazing day much love @chrishemsworth."
Chris's longtime friend Aaron Grist also joined in to remind the Avenger just how much his "average" looks and "beautiful" personality mean to everyone around him. "Chris I know when you wake each time on August 11th you're not excited to see your family or open presents or even eat a delicious cake. You're excited to see my bday post for you. Which includes some of your favourite photos and memories," Grist captioned a slideshow of throwback photos, including a picture of Chris with lettuce teeth and a prom photo. "You're like the rich and famous uncle i always wished for. Dreams can come true. Hope you have the best bday [sic] you're beautiful on the inside, average on the outside. And that's why I love you."
As Chris enjoys his cake, presents, and time with friends, we'll be scrolling through his hilarious throwback photos [6] ahead.
