Chris Hemsworth first captured our hearts as the sandy-haired surfer Kim Hyde on Home And Away in 2004. He left the show in 2007 and has since gone from super hunk to super hero – now starring in Marvel’s Thor franchise.
When he’s not filming his latest blockbuster or walking the red carpet, the father of three lives with his wife, actress Elsa Pataky, in Byron Bay.
We look back on just some of his best moments, from Home And Away to now.
The Home And Away days:
Chris played Kim Hyde on Home And Away from 2004 to 2007.
Love triangles:
Kim was at the centre of his fair share of love triangles during his time on Home And Away. Firstly there was a few awkward moments between Kim, Hayley (Bec Hewitt) and Scott (Kip Gamblin). We can’t really blame the ladies for falling for him…
Love triangles continued…
Kim (Chris Hemsworth) and Rachel’s (Amy Mathews) marriage was rather difficult considering the fact that Kim had a child with Kit (Amy Mizzi). While Kim and Rachel tried everything they possibly could to make their marriage work, in the end, Kim chose to be with Kit and his son Archie.
Wild child:
Kim went off the rails for a while there. He fell in with the wrong crowd which lead to him overdosing on drugs.
Knight in shining singlet:
Kim rocked up late to his wedding on horseback! Thankfully, his wife-to-be Rachel forgave him.
Kim leaves the bay:
In 2007, Kim left Summer Bay.
Dancing with the Stars:
In 2006, Chris donned his dancing shoes for Dancing With The Stars. Watch the adorable video below!

Thor-some:
While he’s been in a number of Hollywood blockbusters he’s best known for his role as Thor.
The Heart Of The Sea:
In 2015 Chris starred in The Heart Of The Sea – based on Nathaniel Philbrick’s non-fiction book of the same name.
The Heart Of The Sea:
He underwent a dramatic transformation for the role, taking to Instagram to post a shot of his dramatic weight loss. “Just tried a new diet/training program called “Lost At Sea”. Wouldn’t recommend it,” he wrote.

Family man:
Chris often shares adorable family snaps on his Instagram account. Alongside this picture he wrote, “The family that trains together, stays together!”
Golden moment:
When Chris presented an award at the Golden Globes this year, he uploaded a pic of his fan club (his three children AND a toy Thor) watching from home. It’s a full-blown cuteness overload.
Husband Goals:
Chris has uploaded many an adorable shot of himself and his wife Elsa.
Dad Goals:
When he made this T-Rex cake for his daughter’s birthday!
Bro Goals:
Despite their busy schedules Liam and Chris made it to the AFL Grand Final last year to watch the Western Bulldogs win with their dad.
Pet Goals:
The only thing better than a photo of Chris, is a photo of Chris and his pupper.
Pet Goals:
One photo wasn’t enough…
Aussie pride:
As a tourism ambassador for Australia, Chris is often posting shots of our friendly wildlife…
And not so friendly wildlife…
