Chris Hemsworth's $29 supermarket birthday cake sells out as fans praise him for his 'down-to-earth' choice

Australians have been rushing to their local Woolworths stores to purchase the same cake that Chris Hemsworth chose for his 40th birthday celebration.

The Thor actor shared a photo on Instagram in August to commemorate the event, where he was seen standing alongside a Woolworth’s Chocolate Drip Cake.

‘Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Another lap around (the) sun and still going strong. I can safely say not a single piece of cake made it through the night,’ he wrote in the caption.

After the photo was posted, fans flocked to Woolworths to sample the dessert for themselves.

Priced at AUD $29, the cake is described as a light sponge with a luscious chocolate buttercream, topped with a Belgian dark chocolate drip.

TikTok user aims.lc was among the Australians who were inspired to try the cake, and she shared a video on the platform providing her review of the cake.

‘This is the cake Chris Hemsworth had for his birthday. He is an Australian icon,’ she said.

‘It smells so good. It is dense… I hate the word “moist”, but it’s the only word coming to mind. That, my friends (is) delicious cake, (with the) thickest layer of icing. It’s so good.’

Fans praised Chris Hemsworth in the comments for his down-to-earth choice of a Woolworths cake.

‘It brings me so much comfort that Thor had a Woolies cake for his birthday,’ wrote one user.

‘Love the fact someone like him is happy with a Woolies cake!’ remarked another.

It comes as Hemsworth shared a down-to-earth moment of a different kind earlier this week, when he and his wife Elsa Pataky took their children dirt bike riding in Byron Bay.

Elsa shared a series of photos to Instagram as she posed with her husband Chris and one of their sons near the off-road motorcycle.

In another image, the actress wore motocross gear as she smiled alongside her daughter India Rose before hitting the track.

‘Family race day! Not competitive at all,’ she wrote, adding laughing emojis.

She also shared an impressive video of one of her boys mid-air as his motorbike took a jump off a dirt ramp.

The Hemsworth clan looked excited to be spending the day together after recently reuniting from separate overseas holidays.

The lovebirds are truly global citizens and the couple proved as much when they recently took their brood halfway across the world on separate holidays.

Marvel star Chris took the couple’s daughter India to Iceland, while Elsa took her twin boys Tristan and Sasha, nine, on an adventure-filled trip to Tokyo, Japan.

The family live in a $30million mansion in Broken Head, near Byron Bay, after relocating from Los Angeles to Australia nine years ago.

In March 2021, Elsa said the move to Byron had been a blessing for their kids.

‘Byron has been beautiful,’ she told The Sydney Morning Herald.

‘We made the right decision in 2014 to leave LA and come to Australia. It’s been great for the kids to be in nature, enjoy animals and go horse riding.’

In June, Chris praised his wife Elsa as he revealed that he wouldn’t of been able to do ‘any of the things I’ve done’ with out her ‘sacrifice and support’.
