Lisa Wilkinson was left starstruck on Monday when she spotted hunky Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth court-side at the Australian Open.
The 65-year-old media veteran shared a picture to Instagram of Liam, 35, sitting close by famed Hong Kong-born action star and filmmaker Jackie Chan.
The former Ten star, who has a long career interviewing some of the biggest names in showbiz, seemed stunned to have scored seats just metres away from the Hunger Games star.
‘Hemsworth in the house with a bit of Jackie Chan side action,’ she wrote in the caption of the cringey Instagram share.
Lisa then used an emote of funny woman Kristen Wiig exclaiming ‘wow’ in the post, signalling her excitement at being so close to a star, despite having met hundreds of big names throughout her decades-long career.
Liam, meanwhile, was spotted attending the Ralph Lauren Marquee at the AO on Sunday, along with his glamorous girlfriend Gabriella Brooks.

The Hollywood star cuddled up close to the 28-year-old beauty as they posed in front of the media wall while wearing matching ensembles.
They were later spotted in the stands, seated in the same row as Jackie Chan.
Famed for his run of global box office hits in the ’90s, the filmmaker, stuntman and actor put in a memorable appearance at the AO over the weekend.
The Hong Kong action movie star attended a dragon dance outside Rod Laver Arena at the 2025 Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia and seemed in good spirits.
The 70-year-old got among the costumed performers, laughing heartily as he joined in the dance.
It comes after Lisa shared a look back at her life earlier this month as she faces a new horizon.
The television star created a reel on Instagram on Sunday showcasing moments from 2022 onwards as her contract with Channel Ten ends.
‘Now that my time at Channel Ten has officially drawn to a close (and the last couple of years have been pretty challenging), there were still plenty of good times,’ she wrote in her caption.

‘Here’s to 2025, and new beginnings,’ she added.
Lisa’s photos included glimpses at her time on The Project, which she left in November 2022.
Other images showed Lisa posing with singer Delta Goodrem, as well as Olivia Newton-John and her daughter Chloe Lattanzi.
She likewise beamed while taking a sweet selfie with former co-star Carrie Bickmore, who has also since left The Project, as well as cuddling up to Hamish Macdonald.
After two years of gardening leave to the tune of $1.7 million a year, Lisa’s time at Channel Ten ended with a whimper over the Christmas holidays.
Her multi-year contract lapsed on New Year’s Eve and wasn’t renewed.
Lisa joined the network in 2018 after an infamous pay dispute at Nine when she discovered her Today co-host Karl Stefanovic was earning significantly more than her.
Everything was going well when she signed a new deal with Ten in 2021.

But just a year later, she stepped down as host of The Project—her sole on-air role—citing the toll of ‘relentless, targeted’ media coverage.
In the two years since vanishing from our screens, she continued to collect a monthly paycheck from Ten, commercial TV’s forgotten child, despite industry-wide cutbacks.
Lisa has since since been slowly building back her public image.
It follows news that Lisa wants to make a return to TV screens following months of inaction and five tedious weeks spent in a courtroom, sources say.
The Channel 10 star and former darling of breakfast TV is keen to get back to delivering more ‘blockbuster interviews’ in the New Year, friends told the Weekend Australian.
She was recently embroiled in a case with Bruce Lehrmann who was suing Network 10 and Lisa over an interview with Brittany Higgins that was broadcast on The Project and online.
In the final five weeks of the court’s sitting year the defamation case has played out before the court. Justice Lee has reserved his decision in the matter.
Friends of Lisa say her court appearances have played in her favour by giving the TV star ‘a constant stream of publicity’.
‘Yes, she’s been off air for a while but I don’t think anyone will have forgotten her,’ former Seven and Nine executive Peter Meakin told the Weekend Australian.
‘I’m sure her loyal followers will remain loyal.’
Network Ten maintains they are in talks to develop ‘other projects’ with Lisa.
