Chris Hemsworth played by his own rules at the 2024 Met Gala. In an interview with E! News published on Monday, May 13, the Thor actor, 40, admitted he didn't adhere to the strict protocol at fashion's biggest night this year.
Hemsworth revealed that he took "heaps of selfies" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May 6. "Selfies everywhere. A lot of selfies in my phone. Like, 'When did I take that? Let's delete that one,'" he joked.
According to Vogue, the annual event benefiting the Costume Institute enforces a "no-phone policy" and prohibits posting images to social media. Despite this, Hemsworth is not the first to break the rule.
This year's theme was "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion," and Hemsworth made his Met Gala debut with his wife, Elsa Pataky. He wore a three-piece, cream-colored Tom Ford suit, while the Fast X actress, 47, dazzled in a long-sleeved, golden gown, complete with a crown, by the same designer.
Despite his fame, Hemsworth shared with E! News that he and Pataky still get excited for events like the Met Gala. "My wife and I, we live in Australia," he said. "So any sort of big awards show, we haven't become jaded because it's still new and exciting. And this in particular, eclectic group of people, different than the normal crowd of, you know, film award shows we've been doing... sports people, musicians, artists, so we had a really fun night."
Just before the Met Gala, Hemsworth and Pataky made it a family affair when their twin sons, Sasha and Tristan, 10, made a rare public appearance at the Australian premiere of his new film, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, on May 1. The family of four posed for photos on the red carpet, with the siblings and Pataky dressed in black, while The Avengers star wore a plaid gray suit and a black satin shirt. Hemsworth and Pataky also share a daughter, India Rose, 11.
The previous month, Hemsworth visited Gulin Gulin, a remote Australian community in the Northern Territory where he lived as a child. He shared feel-good photos on social media with an Instagram recap. "Some of my earliest and happiest memories are from that time. Now, 35 years later I've been lucky enough to take a trip back there," he wrote in the caption of his photo carousel.
The photos showed Hemsworth smiling and posing with locals dressed in traditional garments. One image featured a hand-drawn portrait of him as Thor, complete with the iconic hammer. "Welcome home," was written on the illustration. "I couldn't be more grateful to the people of Gulin Gulin for welcoming us with such warmth and kindness. Much love and appreciation," Hemsworth concluded.
