Chris Hemsworth is celebrating his 42nd birthday! The actor has received many congratulations on his special day, including a sweet shoutout from his younger brother Liam, who made sure to highlight his brother's impressive abs.
In a post shared on Instagram, Liam shared a photo of himself and his two brothers, Chris and Luke, as they all enjoyed a day by the water. Liam is seen wearing a grey shirt and a hat to shielf himseld from the sun, while Luke smiled towards the camera with a white t-shirt and some sunglasses.
Chris is seen without his shirt on, flexing his muscles and smiling for the camera.
"Happy birthday brother Chris!" Liam captioned the post. "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, predictably, received a lot of positive reactions. "Mammamia," wrote a follower.
"I’ll take the abs, the boat invite, and maybe just 10% of the Hemsworth genetics. Happy Birthday, Chris!" wrote a second person.
