Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s Thor! Chris Hemsworth shows off his muscular build as he jumps into a lake while his wife Elsa Pataky relaxes nearby during family outing

He leads a quiet and private life away from the Hollywood spotlight in a coastal town near Byron Bay.

And on Friday, Chris Hemsworth offered fans a glimpse into his relaxed family outing with his wife Elsa Pataky.

The 37-year-old actor shared a video to Instagram as he jumped into a lake while Elsa sat on a lounge nearby.

‘Just another magical Friday,’ he captioned the post.

Chris’ post comes after he revealed why he and a swathe of other Hollywood A-listers are ditching Los Angeles for Australia – in particular Byron Bay. 

Zac Efron, Natalie Portman, Melissa McCarthy, and Isla Fisher and her husband Sacha Baron Cohen are among a slew of celebrities who now call Australia home – or are in town to film blockbusters.

Melbourne-born Chris and his wife Elsa relocated to Byron Bay from LA six years ago, and it appears they’ve put the northern New South Wales town on the map for other international stars.

‘The weather is fantastic, and we’re very hidden away. I always knew I loved it here, of course, but this year has really solidified that for me,’ Hemsworth told The Australian Financial Review.

The 37-year-old, who has been filming Escape from Spiderhead on the Gold Coast, said American stars are catching on to the lifestyle Australia, and particularly Byron Bay, has to offer.

‘People love Australia and they know how much talent is here, and what a diverse landscape for shooting we have,’ he said.
