Liam Hemsworth, 34, is about to return to the spotlight in a big way after laying low since his divorce from Miley Cyrus in 2020.
On Monday, he looked strikingly like his older brother Chris as he warmly greeted fans ahead of an appearance on Good Morning America in New York City.
Liam appeared on the high-profile talk show alongside his Lonely Planet co-star Laura Dern to promote the upcoming romance film.
The Hunger Games star dressed his bulkier frame in a pair of blue pants, a white singlet and a navy cardigan unbuttoned and rolled up to his bulging biceps.
Liam looked every inch the Hollywood star as he smiled and waved at fans, generally stoked to be working the press rounds again.
In similar photos snapped of Marvel superhero Chris arriving to film Jimmy Kimmel earlier this month, the Hemsworths are looking more alike than ever.
Save for his slightly darker locks compared to Chris’ gelled blonde hair at recent events, fans are buzzing with excitement about the return of the Hemsworth heartthrob duo to the silver screen.
For the past several years, Liam has retreated almost entirely from the public eye.

He has spent a lot of time with his brothers Chris and Luke in Byron Bay, but aside from rare sightings in the surf or the occasional sporadic life update shared to Instagram, fans have been left largely in the dark.
The last big movies he did were Land of the Bad, which came out in 2024, and Poker Face, which was released in 2022.
In both, he starred alongside fellow Aussie Russell Crowe.

While fans have been spoiled with sightings of Chris Hemsworth at lavish red carpet premieres in Sydney, most recently for Transformers One and Mad Max: Furiosa, there are now signs that his bulked-up little brother is coming back to the entertainment industry in a big way.
Liam took over Henry Cavill’s role in the Netflix smash series The Witcher in July.
The beloved show is a fantasy television series isn’t just a mainstream hit, but across three prior seasons starring Cavill, it’s gained a cult following of devoted fans.
‘Cast and crew alike have been struck by the passion, energy, and embodiment Liam has brought to the character from Day 1 — scruffy beard, iconic scar, and all!’ showrunner Lauren Hissrich said when she unveiled Liam’s character look in May.
Liam then made a surprise appearance in the VIP section of Taylor Swift’s Era’s tour in London last month along with his girlfriend model Gabriella Brooks.

Gabriella, who was first linked to Liam 2019, coincidently shares an ex with Swift after briefly dating 1975 frontman Matty Healy.
The VIP tent of Swift’s blockbuster tour is the kind of celebrity moment that the younger Hemsworth has voraciously avoided in recent history.
He was also spotted partying up a storm with his girlfriend, Kylie Minogue, and Joe Jonas in Athens in the height of ‘Euro Summer’ at a VIP event.
Now, he’s kicking his Hollywood comeback into high gear.
In his new Netflix film, Liam plays the younger man who’s re-evaluating his life choices at an idyllic writers’ retreat in Morocco, and finds an unexpected connection with an older woman, played by the 57-year-old American actress.
The release on October 11 looks set to continue the year’s trend of age-gap romance films, including Anne Hathaway’s The Idea of You and Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron’s A Family Affair.
Golden Globe winner Laura Dern, most famous for her breakout role in the original Jurassic Park films, is on a hot streak right now that includes the likes of The White Lotus, Taylor Swift’s bejeweled music video, and Big Little Lies.
‘It’s probably the most sensitive character I’ve ever played,’ Hemsworth said on Good Morning America on Monday.
‘He means well. He’s quite a sensitive guy. The premise of the film is about finding someone who sees you for who you are and it works out for the best.’
‘It was weird I felt like I’d known for Laura a lot longer,’ he said, describing the instant chemistry with the actress when they met.
Describing one scene involving olive-eating that took 87 takes to nail, Dern said she and Liam have either been sworn off the food for life by the experience, or are ‘incredibly co-dependent’.
