‘Legend’ Chris Hemsworth picks up hitchhiker in Australia and surprises him with a helicopter ride

Chris Hemsworth gave a hitchhiker the surprise of his life in Australia after he picked him up from the side of a road.

The Thor star shared an Instagram video of himself and friend Luke Zocchi picking up lucky tourist American musician Scott Hildebrand, in Brisbane, who had just arrived in the country from Mexico.

As the pair approached Hildebrand, Hemsworth told the camera: “We’re going to Byron, we’ll give him a lift.”

Zocchi added: “Little does he know we’re getting a chopper.”

The duo left Hildebrand stunned as they got out of the car, shaking his hand as they “welcomed” him to Australia.

Clips later showed the trio preparing for the helicopter ride with stunning views in-shot.

Sharing the video online, Hemsworth jokingly captioned the post: “Picked up a hitchhiker, wasn’t a serial killer which we were stoked about and just happened to be a kick a** musician Scott Hildebrand @scotthilde #WelcomeToAustralia @australia@zocobodypro.”

Speaking about the experience, Hildebrand told E! News: “The experience was so cool and unexpected.

“They're so nice and I couldn't believe it was happening!"

Fans of the 35-year-old actor flocked to the comments to hail the pair “legends” for the move.
