Chris Hemsworth is known for his roles as the mighty Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and as the ultimate “Hollywood hunk.” However, like many of us, he’s had his fair share of cringe-worthy moments. One of his most memorable awkward moments happened during the 2024 Oscars, and it involved none other than pop sensation Billie Eilish.

A Hollywood Hunk with a Selfie Regret

On The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (March 26), Chris Hemsworth opened up about an embarrassing moment he shared with 23-year-old Billie Eilish. The actor, who has built a reputation for his chiselled physique and iconic role as the Norse God, revealed a story that may surprise fans.

During a quick-fire round of questions with Colbert, Hemsworth was asked if he had ever asked for an autograph. He casually mentioned that years ago, he’d asked a football player for one, but it was his interaction with Billie Eilish that stole the spotlight.

The Oscars Selfie That Led to Regret

Hemsworth explained that the awkwardness all started at the 2024 Oscars. While attending the star-studded event, he decided to take a selfie with Billie Eilish. Initially hesitant, he couldn’t resist the opportunity, thinking about his kids’ love for the singer.

Hemsworth shares three children with his wife, Elsa Pataky: daughter India (12) and twin boys, Sasha and Tristan (11). Apparently, his kids are huge fans of Billie, which made the selfie even more tempting. However, the regret hit him immediately after snapping the photo.

“I remember thinking, ‘Ah don’t do it, don’t do it,’ but then I was like, ‘No, my kids are gonna love this,’” Hemsworth said. But as soon as the picture was taken, he felt like he crossed a line. “And then the moment I took it, I was like, ‘Ah, I went from work colleague to now like, a fan,’” he admitted.

From Colleague to Fan

While Hemsworth didn’t reveal whether he and Billie Eilish had actually worked together, he did clarify that their interaction was more of a casual, industry encounter. “Same industry, kind of colleague. Bumping shoulders,” he explained with a laugh.

Despite the friendly nature of their brief interaction, Hemsworth couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d ruined his chances of becoming close friends with Billie Eilish. “We will never be friends, never be best friends,” he joked.

The Selfie Craze at the Met Gala

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Chris Hemsworth has been caught up in a selfie moment. In 2023, at the Met Gala, Hemsworth broke the event’s strict no-selfie rule. Speaking to E! News about the incident, Hemsworth explained that he and his wife, Elsa, were just too excited to be at such a unique and glamorous event. “Selfies everywhere. A lot of selfies in my phone. Like, ‘When did I take that? Let’s delete that one,’” he laughed.

Since he and Elsa live in Australia, the Met Gala was still a new and thrilling experience for them. “So any sort of big awards show, we haven’t become jaded because it’s still new and exciting,” Hemsworth said. The mix of celebrities from various industries—sports stars, musicians, and artists—made the evening even more enjoyable.

The Fun Side of Fame

Even though he’s an A-list star, Chris Hemsworth is clearly not immune to the same experiences that many of us go through. Whether it’s the excitement of meeting a celebrity or the cringe-worthy regret that follows, his openness about these moments makes him more relatable.

From his adorable regret over the Billie Eilish selfie to breaking Met Gala rules in pursuit of a few fun photos, Hemsworth shows that even the biggest stars are still just like us—feeling a little awkward sometimes, but always making the most of the experience.

In the end, Hemsworth’s funny stories remind us that fame doesn’t protect anyone from embarrassing moments—it just makes them more entertaining for us to watch.
