Elsa Pataky goes barefoot and bare faced in Byron Bay as she catches up with a friend for matcha at a cafe wearing tiny sports shorts

Elsa Pataky was caught barefoot and bare faced on Wednesday when she made a mad dash out of a cafe after catching up with a friend in Byron Bay.

The Spanish actress, 48, who is married to Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth, flaunted her genetically blessed visage as she opted out of makeup for the occasion.

And she was also seen going without shoes as she proved herself a bona fide Aussie while dodging puddles in the gravel carpark of The Roadhouse with her bare feet.  

The model looked fresh faced as she donned a casual, sporty look, slipping on a pair of $240 Nagnata short-shorts.

She paired the tiny piece of clothing with a beige sweater over a black polo shirt to protect herself against the cold weather. 

Elsa finished her look by pulling her blonde tresses back into a neat bun.

The Fast & Furious franchise star was all smiles as she caught up with her friend.

Though at one point she appeared mortified as she recounted a story in an animated manner, covering her face with her hands as she laughed.

As she did, she flashed two gold rings as well as the tattoos covering the back of her hand.

Her outing comes after fans went crazy over the ritzy Byron Bay pad Elsa shares with her husband Chris, 41, and children—India Rose, 13, and twins Sasha and Tristan, 11.

The couple, who purchased the 4.2 hectare estate back in 2014, have since built a state of the art mansion on the land worth $50 million that locals dub ‘Fortress Hemsworth’ according to realestate.com.au.

The luxury home boasts stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, six sizeable bedrooms, indoor and outdoor gymnasiums, a media room, a spa and even has a bowling alley.

But, despite all of the property’s lavish amenities, it’s the Hemsworths’ sprawling swimming pool that has everyone talking.

At 50 metres long, the infinity pool is Olympic length and, according to fans of the couple, ‘goes on forever’.

So much so that in some pictures, it’s hard to tell where the pool ends and the ocean starts.

What is even more gob-smacking is the price of the pool, which is estimated to have cost as much as $500,000 to build.

In March, Elsa revealed the decision to relocate to Australia with husband Chris was all about regaining perspective.

Speaking to News Corp, Elsa said the couple found Los Angeles, where they were residing previously, too ‘restricting’.

‘When you’re in Los Angeles, work suffocates you,’ she said.

She added Byron Bay was far removed from the constant industry chatter that plagues the City of Angels.

‘There, all the conversations, even the billboards you see on the street, have to do with the world of cinema and its industry,’ she said.

‘It can make you lose perspective.’
