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. 

The Hemsworth brothers started their careers in Australian soap operas, later on transitioning towards making Hollywood movies and TV shows. While the brothers often poke fun at each other, they've discussed their deep friendship and respect on various occasions.

“He's my hero,” said Liam of Chris in a 2019 interview with GQ. “I look up to him."
