Chris Hemsworth has showed off his buff body on his 41st birthday.
The Hollywood star was spotted out in Byron Bay enjoying a surf to celebrate his special day.
Chris didn’t let the heavy rain in the northern New South Wales beachside town deter him, as he stripped down in the carpark on Sunday.
The Thor actor was all smiles as he changed out of his wetsuit and flaunted his rippling muscles.
The star changed into some loose black pants but went shirtless as he mounted his surfboard on his car.
Chris kept it scruffy for his birthday, keeping a light beard as he enjoyed the sea.
He also put a black baseball cap on and dried off his muscular physique with a blue and white striped towel.
The Hollywood hunk also shared some banter with former surf Olympian and local friend, Owen Wright.

It comes just a day after the hunky actor returned to Australia from Fiji after celebrating the 40th birthday of his best mate and longtime personal trainer, Luke Zocchi.
Luke is credited with helping Chris develop his incredible body and maintaining it into his 40s.
Chris had earlier paid tribute to trainer Zocchi in a photo posted to Instagram last Monday.

The actor also posted a throwback image, showing his more lithe form back when the two men were still boys.
The new photo showed how much they had grown into men – and built up impressive muscles along the way.
‘Happy 40th birthday to one of my best mates @zocobodypro. You’re one of a kind brother,’ Chris wrote in the caption alongside the image.

Zocchi, who lives near the Hemsworth clan in Byron Bay, helps the superstar and his wife Elsa Pataky work on their physiques for blockbuster roles.
Elsa, 48, used the same program Chris followed for his new blockbuster, Thor: Love & Thunder, to get in shape for her role as the very ripped Captain J.J. Collins in Interceptor – which left her in ‘the best shape of her life.’
Both Elsa and Chris used the Power program – designed by Luke – on Chris’ fitness app Centr.

Speaking exclusively to FEMAIL, Luke said that weight lifting is key for those wanting to lose weight as well as build muscle.
To build up your biceps to look similar to the God of Thunder, Luke recommends working on your upper body for the first four to six weeks you of a new training regime.
‘Keeping weights manageable for you and reps on the lower side of things,’ he says.
‘Then I would move to challenge yourself a little more and more each week – upping the intensity of the weights you are using and increasing reps from 6-8 to to 8-12.
‘I would focus on two sessions of ‘push’ movements and two sessions of ‘pull’ movements to make sure you are hitting all the different muscles you are targeting.
