Chris Hemsworth is celebrating another trip around the sun!
The Avengers: Endgame actor turned 42 on Monday, Aug. 11, and was treated to tributes on social media from multiple loved ones, including wife Elsa Pataky.
Pataky, 49, shared a photo montage set to a mariachi version of “Happy Birthday,” which included photos of her husband solo, with her and with their kids.
The final installment in the post featured a hilarious video clip of Chris chasing chickens around a gated enclosure and repeating the phrase, “Rocky Balboa” — a reference to the famous “Kentucky Friend Idiot” scene in 1979’s Rocky II.

“Happy Birthday to my Rocky Balboa 😂. You’re the best of the best ❤️@chrishemsworth,” Pataky wrote in the post’s caption.
Chris’ younger brother Liam Hemsworth also shared a tribute to the birthday boy, posting a snapshot of the duo on a boat with oldest brother Luke Hemsworth.
Liam, 35, captioned his tribute, “Happy birthday brother Chris! Thanks for always being such a wonderful legend. Never change.”
Concluding with a cheeky nod to Chris’ shirtless physique in the photo, the Hunger Games alum added, “I hope I have abs like you when I grow up. Love you.”
Pataky has been married to Chris since late 2010. The couple share three children: daughter India, 13, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, 11.
Back in April, Pataky opened up in an interview with Hello! magazine about her relationship with the Marvel star, saying, “Marriage needs constant work, and you learn a lot from the rough patches.”
To keep it successful, “You have to try to keep growing together, making sure that your paths carry on crossing,” the Spanish actress continued.
“It’s about finding the fun, enjoying the little moments and remaining curious about each other,” Pataky added. “You have to be ready to adapt, and because there are situations that separate you, you need to know how to find each other again.”
