Chris Hemsworth Displays Ripped Physique on Sun-soaked French Getaway with Family and Trainer

Chris Hemsworth is making the most of the European summer, sharing a series of candid snaps from a beachside escape in Hossegor, France – and he wasn’t alone.

The Thor actor, 41, took to Instagram on Tuesday night to post a carousel of photos showing him soaking up the sun, hitting the surf and enjoying downtime with his family and close friends.

‘Thanks @mikypicon for hospitality!! Fun little getaway in Hossegor,’ Chris captioned the post, tagging French surf champ Miky Picon, who also appeared in the group dinner shot. 

In one cheeky image, a shirtless Chris flexes his muscles on the sand alongside his longtime personal trainer and best mate Luke Zocchi, who playfully strikes a pose in khaki shorts and sunglasses.

Another shot shows the actor posing next to two electric surf bikes with a fellow surfer, looking ripped in a wetsuit pulled down to reveal his torso.

In a third image, Chris is joined by two surf buddies, beaming for the camera as they clutch their boards and give the thumbs up.

He later shared a rare selfie with his mum Leonie, looking relaxed in a white T-shirt and baseball cap while she sported oversized sunnies and a black lace cami.

The family fun continued into the evening as Chris, Leonie, and Luke sat down for a sunset dinner alongside Chris’ father Craig Hemsworth and a group of friends.

The table was laden with share plates and wine as they dined al fresco under a canopy of lights.

The Hemsworths have made Byron Bay their home in recent years, and the actor has frequently shared glimpses of their laid-back, surf-filled lifestyle on social media.

The couple purchased their sprawling 4.2-hectare estate in Byron Bay back in 2014 for $7million, eventually constructing a $50million mega mansion on the site.

The property features six bedrooms, a spa, games and media rooms as well as sprawling outdoor living areas.

Chris recently revealed a new addition to the sprawling property – a lavish home gym.

The Thor star created a state-of-the-art training facility called The Shed for his fitness brand, Centr, which was unveiled in January.

Speaking to Realestate.com.au, Hemsworth’s personal trainer and business partner, Luke Zocchi, explained that the facility serves as a space for Centr trainers to test new workouts and equipment while also having fun.

‘It’s definitely next level,’ Zocchi said.

‘Chris made sure to include the latest and greatest Centr equipment in the gym.’

He mentioned that much of the equipment at The Shed -which includes treadmills, cable machines, weight benches, and power racks – is currently unavailable in Australia.

‘Some of the equipment isn’t available in Australia yet, but will be soon,’ Zocchi revealed.

‘It’s where Chris, the boys, and I can come through for a session, or we can just chill and recover when we need to. 

‘It’s a place to really get after it or reset, depending on what we need.’
