Chris Hemsworth’s recent gym session video gained a little more traction than perhaps he’d initially anticipated.
But it wasn’t the Australian actor’s squats, press-ups, or even his abs, that got fans talking.
It was the 39-year-old’s, er, – how to put it politely – bulge, that left his followers gawking at their screens.
In what was a string of absolutely hysterical reactions, fans lapped up the moment to share their awe of the Australian.
Alongside the video post, in which the Thor actor jumps, squats, boxes, boasts some impressive press-ups, pull-ups and, er, other gym stuff, he wrote: ‘Good little session. Finishing it strong with some core 💪.’
But fans bypassed his defined torso; they didn’t mention how cool his hat looked on backwards; and they didn’t notice his technically sublime shapes.

It was all looking pretty standard, admirable even, until Chris got on the floor for some ‘core’ – whatever that means – and lifted his leg up to reveal his crotch outline in full force.
‘Are seeing what I’m seeing?’ asked one of Chris’ 56.4million followers, while another said, ‘Are we seeing it or just ignoring it?’
It appears no one was ignoring the big it, as others made several, really very good, jokes about Thor’s hammer.
‘Watched it multiple times…’ began one person, ‘that last exercise I swear I could see Thor’s hammer.’

‘So they let you keep the hammer?’ asked another.
Of course, the Marvel star is used to keeping in top shape as over the years he has starred as Norse god Thor in several blockbusters.
This comes as the actor is reported to be taking a step back from the industry after learning he was ‘high risk’ of Alzheimer’s disease.
But sources now say although he’s looking to take on less work, the actor is not considering an early retirement.
