Chris Hemsworth shows off his ripped physique as he enjoys a sun-soaked getaway in France with his parents and trainer Luke Zocchi
Chris Hemsworth is making the most of the European summer, sharing a series of candid snaps from a beachside escape in Hossegor, France - and he wasn't alone.
The Thor actor, 41, took to Instagram on Tuesday night to post a carousel of photos showing him soaking up the sun, hitting the surf and enjoying downtime with his family and close friends.
'Thanks @mikypicon for hospitality!! Fun little getaway in Hossegor,' Chris captioned the post, tagging French surf champ Miky Picon, who also appeared in the group dinner shot.
In one cheeky image, a shirtless Chris flexes his muscles on the sand alongside his longtime personal trainer and best mate Luke Zocchi, who playfully strikes a pose in khaki shorts and sunglasses.
Another shot shows the actor posing next to two electric surf bikes with a fellow surfer, looking ripped in a wetsuit pulled down to reveal his torso.

In a third image, Chris is joined by two surf buddies, beaming for the camera as they clutch their boards and give the thumbs up.
He later shared a rare selfie with his mum Leonie, looking relaxed in a white T-shirt and baseball cap while she sported oversized sunnies and a black lace cami.
The family fun continued into the evening as Chris, Leonie, and Luke sat down for a sunset dinner alongside Chris' father Craig Hemsworth and a group of friends.
The table was laden with share plates and wine as they dined al fresco under a canopy of lights.
The Hemsworths have made Byron Bay their home in recent years, and the actor has frequently shared glimpses of their laid-back, surf-filled lifestyle on social media.
The couple purchased their sprawling 4.2-hectare estate in Byron Bay back in 2014 for $7million, eventually constructing a $50million mega mansion on the site.
The property features six bedrooms, a spa, games and media rooms as well as sprawling outdoor living areas.
Chris recently revealed a new addition to the sprawling property - a lavish home gym.
The Thor star created a state-of-the-art training facility called The Shed for his fitness brand, Centr, which was unveiled in January.
Speaking to Realestate.com.au, Hemsworth's personal trainer and business partner, Luke Zocchi, explained that the facility serves as a space for Centr trainers to test new workouts and equipment while also having fun.
'It's definitely next level,' Zocchi said.
'Chris made sure to include the latest and greatest Centr equipment in the gym.'
He mentioned that much of the equipment at The Shed -which includes treadmills, cable machines, weight benches, and power racks - is currently unavailable in Australia.
'Some of the equipment isn't available in Australia yet, but will be soon,' Zocchi revealed.
'It's where Chris, the boys, and I can come through for a session, or we can just chill and recover when we need to.
'It's a place to really get after it or reset, depending on what we need.'

Mum explains the exact cosmetic work she's had to look ‘snatched' but people are astonished after clocking her REAL age
A MUM has left people stunned after revealing the full extent of cosmetic work she's had done - while also sharing her real age. Jess Bloom, a 34-year-old nutrition coach and TikTok creator, has been open about her beauty routine, detailing everything she's done to achieve her ' snatched' look. She shared a video on her TikTok page ' jessbloom_ ' and revealed to her 18.1k followers 'everything' she has had done to her face. Starting with the basics, she explains how she's been maintaining HD brows every five to six weeks for years, describing them as a staple part of her routine. She explains that having a fresh set of HD brows makes her feel very 'snatched' in the morning. Jess also swears by her Korean lash lift, which she recently documented on TikTok. As a busy mum, it's her go-to for cutting down on time in the mornings. She explained that she can't be 'bothered' to wear eye makeup, which is why having a lash lift really works for her. Instead, she'll just throw on a bit of tinted moisturiser and blush then she is 'ready to go.' When it comes to skincare, Jess opts for a natural approach, combining red light therapy with good nutrition. She admits she avoids regular facials, saying, 'I'm just a little bit too scared because I'm like, don't fix what's not broken, you know?' Her journey with injectables, however, has been a long one. I'm 30 & have had 4 BBL's - trolls say my bum looks like a wisdom tooth but I don't care about the risks, I want curves Jess first had lip filler back in 2014 at the age of 24, and has had it topped up every couple of years since. But pregnancy brought unexpected challenges. 'My lips just blew up - they were horrific,' she shares. Unable to dissolve the filler while breastfeeding, Jess admits the situation affected her self-esteem and even pushed her to stop breastfeeding earlier than planned. One of my regrets for my wedding was getting Botox six weeks before because I didn't like what it did to my face Jess Bloom Determined to feel her best for her wedding, she documented her journey of dissolving and refilling her lips on TikTok, eventually finding a look she's happier with. As for Botox, Jess has tried it but doesn't plan to continue. She explained that she had it in three areas - forehead, crow's feet, and frown - but 'didn't really like it' on herself. ' One of my regrets for my wedding was getting Botox six weeks before because I didn't like what it did to my face,' she says. Mixed opinions Her video gained 189.8k views and 811 comments after one day of the video being shared. Many rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts - along with some people who 'unfairly' trolled her. One wrote: 'I'm convinced Botox and filler is making people look older. ' A second commented: 'You look so much older than me, I'm the same age.' While another added: 'You look great. 'You're obviously naturally pretty and have great skin and hair but I have to agree with those saying you look older than 34. 'Not sure what it is but I would place you closer to 40.' However, she also received support from others. One wrote: 'Your skin is stunning. I must try a lash lift. I used to get extensions but couldn't be bothered now.' A second addressed some of the negative comments she had received by adding: 'You look gorgeous. 33 here and swear by a lash lift! 2 "Pregnancy was such a hard time for me self esteem wise too. 'Don't feel bad about stopping breastfeeding - happy mum, happy baby! 'Ps. negative comments are from jealous, miserable souls - hope you're taking zero notice.'

Television star of the 1970s who also appeared on I'm A Celeb looks unrecognisable as he steps out for Monte-Carlo festival - but can YOU guess who he is?
A television star of the 1970s looked unrecognisable as he posed for a photo at the 64th Monte-Carlo television festival. He's been on our screens for more than 60 years having first landed a role in cinema in Shirley Clarke's 1964 film The Cool World. The actor went on to make his presence felt in a number of films of the early 1970s including Shaft, Foxy Brown and Huckleberry Finn before landing the role he is most famous for later in the decade. Transitioning into television, the star bagged a part in Starsky & Hutch - a series following Detectives Ken 'Hutch' Hutchinson (David Soul) and Dave Starsky (Paul Michael Glaser) as they fought crime on the streets of the fictional Bay City, California. The mystery man in-question played a golden hearted street informant who came to be a much-loved character during the era - but would you recognise him all these years later? From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the The star pictured kicking back in the sun on Tuesday is none other than American actor Antonio Fargas, 78, who played the golden-hearted street informant Huggy Bear in Starsky and Hutch. Some 50 years after the show first aired, the father-of-one attended the festival sporting a stylish white button-up shirt along with a pair of cream coloured slacks. Sporting a new-look goatee beard and seeming in great spirits, the grey fox posed for pictures on the coast in picturesque Monaco before heading to the Golden Nymph Awards Nominees Party at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel. While he is arguably most famous for his role in Starsky & Hutch, Antonio's career actually continued to flourish after the show finished. He has appeared in more than 50 movies and TV shows during an extended career in the world of acting, including a role as a 90-year-old witch doctor in The Great White Hope and as Baz in the British boxing film Sucker Punch in 2006. British viewers may also remember Antonio from an appearance he made on the hugely popular ITV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! during series 4 in 2004. Antonio's inclusion on the Ant and Dec fronted show was somewhat short-lived however, with the 78-year-old the fourth celebrity to be voted out. But he's no doubt best known as Huggy Bear, with Antonio admitting that it's 'special' to be remembered as the character. During an interview with Gloria Hunniford in 2006, he said: 'It's amazing, thank goodness I'm very comfortable with being a character-based actor. 'After so many years in the business to still identify with a show that was so special to me, it's amazing. 'I just enjoy my life, I've been able to do lots of other things and I'm still creating things and new adventures, so I'm very happy.' Speaking about what made Starsky & Hutch so successful, Antonio added: 'I think the main attraction was relationships. 'There was these two guys (Starsky & Hutch) who cared for each other and had each other's back, plus they were two good-looking guys. 'You also had a car, and music and clothes and a hip-talking informer and you don't think about what it's going to be and if it's going to last forever. 'It was a job, and we worked hard, had fun and tried to make it good. And we did a good job.' Antonio has one son, Justin Fargos, who studied at the University of Southern California before going on to enjoy a a professional career in the NFL, playing seven seasons as a running back for the Oakland Raiders.

Kim Kardashian shows off her tiny waist in skintight bottoms with bikini top on yacht with daughter North
Kim Kardashian showcased her tiny waist in skintight cropped bottoms for a luxe yacht trip with daughter North in Los Cabos. The reality star treated daughter to the boat day in honor of the tween's 12th birthday. Kim, 44, paired the tight bottoms with a barely-there bikini top that flashed her ample cleavage. She added a snakeskin patterned button-up blouse that she left open, revealing her tiny top beneath. North rang in her birthday with her blue hair - a look her aunt Kylie Jenner famously rocked a few years ago during her King Kylie era. The tween rocked a coordinating blue tank top with striped jorts, adding a number of jewelry. Kim wore her signature brunette locks loose around her, opting for mauve lipstick and large sunglasses. Their boat day comes after they were seen at a luxurious beachfront home in Los Cabos. Kim made sure North's party was luxurious, complete with an outdoor movie screening. The pool was decked out with an inflatable swan. The year prior, Kim threw a sleepover for her daughter and pals at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She paid tribute to her firstborn child with a sweet birthday post on Sunday that featured oodles of throwback photos of her daughter. 'My little baby North turns 12 years old today,' she wrote in the post. 'We were looking at pics today together and laughing so hard, you were so small. It's been the most special calling being your mom. I love you forever and got you forever my bubs.' Kris Jenner also celebrated her granddaughter's birthday with her own heartwarming birthday tribute. She added a snakeskin patterned button-up blouse that she left open, revealing her tiny top beneath 'Happy birthday to my beautiful, kind, funny, talented, and wildly creative granddaughter North West!!!' Kris posted, along with numerous snaps of her grandchild. 'From the moment you were born, you've marched to the beat of your own drum… fearless and with such a love for life. 'You have the most incredible spirit, a brilliant mind, and an imagination that amazes me. Whether you're singing, dancing, performing on stage, painting a masterpiece, you do everything with so much energy and with passion and purpose. 'Watching you grow into the confident, kind, and amazing young girl you are has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Never stop being YOU. I'm so very proud of you Northie and I love you more than words can express!!' Kim shares North and as well as three other children - Saint, nine, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, six - with her ex-husband Kanye. Kanye and Kim were married from 2014 until the television star filed for divorce in February 2021. It was finalized in 2022. The former couple have recently been embroiled in a bitter custody battle over their kids - with the controversial rapper taking to social media to air out wild rants to his followers over the topic. Last month in May, the mom-of-four officially completed her law school program and held a mini graduation in an intimate backyard ceremony following the six-year journey. The reality star did not attend traditional law school and instead underwent Law Office Study Program (LOSP) in the state of California. Kim will still need to take the Bar Exam if she wants to professionally practice law in the state. On social media, the beauty could be seen holding a certificate of completion while also sporting a beige robe and matching graduation cap. The TV personality has also taken a role in Ryan Murphy's upcoming legal drama All's Fair alongside other cast members such as Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson and Teyana Taylor.
