Chris Hemsworth’s Oscars Selfie with Billie Eilish Sparks Regret: ‘Friendship Off the Table’
The glitz of the 2024 Oscars, Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky rubbing elbows with the stars, and a selfie with Billie Eilish that the Marvel hero instantly regretted. Yep, the Thor star spilled the tea on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on March 26, 2025, and it’s a story that’s equal parts cringe and relatable.
During Colbert’s fan-favorite “Questionert” segment, Hemsworth, 41, didn’t hold back when asked about the one celebrity selfie he wishes he could erase. “I got a photo with Billie Eilish at the Oscars,” he admitted, laughing. “The whole time, my brain was screaming, ‘Don’t do it, don’t do it!’ But I did it anyway.” Why? For the kids, of course. “I thought, ‘No, my kids are gonna love this.’ Then, snap—the photo’s taken, and I’m like, ‘Great, I just went from cool colleague to total fanboy.’“
The Furiosa actor didn’t mince words about the fallout. “We will never be friends—never best friends,” he quipped, shaking his head. When Colbert, 60, pressed him on whether he’d ever teamed up with Eilish, 23, for a project, Hemsworth clarified, “Nah, not like that—just same industry, shoulder-bumping vibes.” Colbert jumped in with a chuckle, “Oh yeah, me and Anthony Hopkins? Total work buds.”
But this isn’t Hemsworth’s first selfie rodeo. The Aussie heartthrob confessed to E! News that he turned the 2024 Met Gala into his personal photo booth—despite the event’s strict “no-phone policy.” “Selfies everywhere,” he told the outlet. “My phone’s full of ‘em. I’m scrolling later like, ‘When did I take that? Delete.’” Vogue’s rulebook might say no pics, but Hemsworth (and plenty of other rule-breakers) clearly didn’t get the memo.
So, what’s the takeaway? Even A-listers like Hemsworth can’t resist a starstruck moment—and sometimes, they live to regret it. Catch more of his hilarious confessions on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, airing weeknights on CBS.
