Chris Hemsworth is a total beach bum. Time and again, he makes sure to hit the shores of the Australian coasts and dive into the ocean for a good swim sesh. His wife Elsa Pataky and kids also appreciate the ocean. Well, the one reason why we appreciate Chris in the ocean is for the aftermath of his swimming sessions. You guessed it right, wet shirtless pictures! Fawning over Hemsworth is not a crime and we're going all out with our gush piece here!

The Thor actor was recently spotted at the Byron Bay in Australia walking towards the shore after a good surfing bout. This was after he picked up a hitchhiker and took him along for a chopper ride to Byron Bay from close to Brisbane airport. Clearly, Hemsworth's idea of giving someone a lift is much better than what people with Mercs have on National Highways! Anyway, while the story of him helping a hitchhiker and giving him the time of his life made headlines everywhere, his wet shirtless pictures too sizzled on social media. Check out his Thor-bod with swimming trunks as he walks out of the water like a total hunk.

Apart from the hitchhiking story and his shirtless pictures, another spin to the story that makes this trip of his a big hit on social media is his unconditional display of affection for wife Elsa Pataky. Nope, he's not the kind to shy away from expressing how much he loves his Spanish wife. Pictures of them making out has also gone viral along with his shirtless pictures. We're just thrilled to see so much of Hemsworth on our social media feeds as well as news. The gods are in our favour!
