Chris Hemsworth Regrets Taking a Selfie With Billie Eilish at the Oscars
Chris Hemsworth has revealed that he regrets taking a selfie with Billie Eilish at the 2024 Academy Awards, saying it officially ended any chance of them being “best friends.” The Marvel superstar opened up about the moment during his recent appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, where he admitted he knew he shouldn’t have taken the picture but did it for his kids.
The 41-year-old actor, who attended the Oscars with his wife, Elsa Pataky, said he had an internal debate before snapping the pic with Eilish, 23. “I remember thinking, ‘Ah, don’t do it, don’t do it,'” Hemsworth recalled. But ultimately, he gave in. “I was like, ‘No, my kids are going to love this.’ And then the moment I took it, I was like, ‘I went from work colleague to now like a fan.'”
Chris Hemsworth on Why He Regrets the Selfie
Despite being one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Hemsworth admitted that taking the picture changed the dynamic between him and Eilish. “We will never be friends, never be best friends,” he joked. When Colbert asked whether he had ever worked on a project with Eilish, Hemsworth clarified that they weren’t collaborators but rather “same industry-kind of colleague[s], bumping shoulders.”
Colbert played along, quipping that by Hemsworth’s logic, he too could claim legendary actors as colleagues. “Sure, me and Anthony Hopkins – work colleagues,” he joked, making Hemsworth laugh.
Chris Hemsworth’s History With Celebrity Selfies
This isn’t the first time Hemsworth has found himself in a celebrity selfie dilemma. Back in 2024, he revealed to E! News that he broke the Met Gala’s no-phone policy by taking “heaps of selfies” at the star-studded event.
“Selfies everywhere,” he said, laughing about how he later found pictures on his phone that he didn’t even remember taking. “Like, ‘When did I take that? Let’s delete that one.'”
While the Met Gala strictly prohibits phone use and social media posts from inside the event, Hemsworth isn’t the only star to break the rule. Other celebrities, including Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Gigi Hadid, have all been caught sneaking in selfies at past Met Galas.
How Fans Reacted to Hemsworth’s Selfie Confession
As expected, fans had a field day with Hemsworth’s admission. Social media was flooded with memes and reactions, with some fans joking that Eilish should have been the one regretting the selfie instead.
Others pointed out that Hemsworth’s lighthearted regret over the moment was relatable – many people have felt the instant regret of asking for a photo with someone they admire.
“Chris Hemsworth stressing over taking a selfie with Billie Eilish is so funny,” one fan tweeted. Another joked, “Chris, we all take embarrassing selfies – welcome to the club.”
Chris Hemsworth’s Upcoming Projects
While Chris Hemsworth may have lost his “work colleague” status with Billie Eilish, he’s staying busy with several upcoming projects.
In addition, Hemsworth is set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for more Thor appearances, including Avengers: Doomsday.
Final Thoughts: Chris Hemsworth Keeps It Real
Chris Hemsworth’s confession about his Billie Eilish selfie regret is just another example of why fans love him – he keeps it real, even when it comes to awkward celebrity moments. While he may never become “best friends” with Eilish, his story proves that even A-list stars experience celebrity encounters gone wrong.
