Chris Hemsworth shows off his ripped physique during intense workout after celebrating his birthday in Ibiza without wife Elsa Pataky
The Aussie actor, who rang in his 42nd birthday last week on a yacht off the popular Spanish Island, took to Instagram on Sunday to show off his boxing skills.
In the clip, Chris' huge muscles and strong build were on display while wearing an all-black ensemble during the workout.
The video showed the Thor star being coached by fellow Aussie personal trainer Luke Zocchi, who is also an ambassador for Chris' fitness program Centr.
'Pick on someone your own size @zocobodypro,' he captioned the post.
The pair exchanged some banter and laughs as they went at it in the ring, with Chris clearly in his happy place as he showed off his strength.
It comes after Chris celebrated his birthday in Spain surrounded by a slew of big-named friends last week.
The actor appeared to be having the time of his life as he enjoyed a lunch at celebrity hotspot Casa Jondal and a cruise on a luxury boat with a star-studded guest list, including brothers Liam and Luke Hemsworth, Matt Damon, pop sensation Rita Ora and her husband, director Taika Waititi, and Patrick and Pia Whitesell.
But there was one very important person who was missing from the celebrations - his wife Elsa Pataky.
She stayed on the other side of the world in Australia, and was last seen shopping for groceries at a local Coles supermarket in Byron Bay after returning home from her native Spain.
The mother-of-three, 49, looked somewhat downcast while running her errands as she ferried a box of goods from the shops to her car and took what appeared to be a tense phone call.
She was makeup-free for the short trip and dressed down in a jumper and baggy jeans.
Although Elsa did not accompany her husband at the celebration, she did share a sweet birthday tribute to him on social media.
Alongside a throwback photo of her embracing Chris, Elsa wrote some heartfelt words: 'Happy Birthday to my Rocky Balboa. You're the best of the best.'
Chris and Elsa spent most of the European summer apart.
Elsa was in her native Spain for weeks, filming her new TV series, Matices.
Meanwhile, Chris was travelling, even attending the final day of Wimbledon without his wife .
Chris also enjoyed a beachside escape in Hossegor, France, with his longtime personal trainer and best mate Luke, while Elsa enjoyed her own holiday in her native Spain.
They later reunited in July for the Thor star's new National Geographic series, Limitless: Live Better Now, with twin sons, Tristan and Sasha, 11, and Chris' brother Liam Hemsworth in London.
The couple tied the knot during the Christmas holidays in 2010.
The Hemsworths have made Byron Bay their home in recent years, after relocating from Los Angeles to Australia nine years ago.

We're on safari … in the Netherlands
There is a moment on our first evening at the Beekse Bergen safari resort that stops us all dead in our tracks. The kids are wearing the khaki safari hats from the welcome packs left on their wooden bunk beds, and we are relaxing on the veranda of our hotel room, with panoramic views of the 'savannah'. From this elevated position, we're studying our neighbours on this 10-day holiday in the south of the Netherlands: Nubian giraffes, white rhinos, antelope, zebras and ostriches, all intermingling on the plain, metres in front of us. The light is fading and a heatwave is enhancing the African theme of Beekse Bergen. In the humidity, our impromptu animal quiz, aided by our in-room brochure, is halted by a low, menacing rumble. It takes a moment for context to overtake common sense. The thunder we think we're hearing is actually the roar from the pack of lions that live just behind our accommodation. We all fall silent, absorbing one of the primal sounds of nature. It may seem like an unusual place for a safari – close to the modest city of Tilburg and 20 miles west of industrial Eindhoven – but this is a safari holiday Netherlands-style, where you don't have to fly to Africa to get close to our planet's most impressive mammals. The 120-hectare resort is a group of interconnected sites, comprising a hotel, lodges, chalets and cottages overlooking several open plains full of wildlife; the safari park, which guests can explore on foot through a connecting gate from the resort; a lakeside resort with a beach, more lodges and a campsite for all budgets; and the Speelland theme park – with indoor and outdoor rides, slides and games. The resort has strong conservation credentials, with many species that are designated 'vulnerable' or 'extinct in the wild' protected here as part of a Europe-wide network of more than 300 zoos, aquariums and parks, including Chester Zoo in the UK. The rangers tell us that all the animals living in Beekse Bergen were born here or moved to the park from another zoo; none were taken from the wild. The Dutch have a particular, tailored approach to family holidays, designing thoughtfully for children but without compromising on aesthetic and luxurious touches for adults, and Beekse Bergen is no exception – it's a hit with our seven-and 11-year-olds, and us parents, too. Custom-made bunk beds in one room, a picture window with views of the animals while soaking in the bath in another: attention to detail and lots to keep the kids entertained. For anyone staying, there is free unlimited access to the enormous safari park by car, bus or – our favourite – walking trails. Unlike a single costly trip to a regular zoo, we can make repeat visits to enjoy as many of the 100-plus animal species as we can, and at our own pace. Highlights include a magnificent Amur (Siberian) tiger, freestyling ring-tailed lemurs shrieking close above our heads, blustering rhinos locking horns over food, and the quiet grace of the African elephant families. Small 'ferry' boats with guided tours (in Dutch) take passengers from zone to zone, via lakes where we get a rare sighting of two iridescent kingfishers – a personal highlight among the more spectacular beasts. By the end of our stay, a battered map covered in ballpoint pen ticks is hard evidence of two children brimming with memories. We love the birds of prey display, with vultures, eagles, owls and storks swooping low over our heads, catching food thrown for them in mid-air. There are scheduled lion-feeding sessions and we stumble across the seals' mealtime, laughing as the three blubbery mammals wriggle comically out of the lake and on to the sand. For an extra €17.50 (£15) per person, there is also the option of a 45-minute 'game drive' with a guide – ours is the excellent Eva – to get up close and personal, away from the main car trails. We meet alpha male giraffe Jim and his harem, and as the herd licks the roof of our cruiser with their giant tongues, our amazed seven-year-old clicks her camera over and over again.

Evenings are for indoor bowling, eating at one of multiple restaurants or relaxing back in the lodge. We visit the Speelland theme park a couple of times – a brilliantly wholesome outdoor and indoor activity centre with fairground-style rides, pedalos in the lake, go-karts and bouncy castles. We pop into nearby Tilburg (15 minutes by car; 25 minutes on a bike) for takeaway pizza, grocery shopping and a day perusing the shops and markets, visiting a traditional Dutch pancake house for lunch. There's also time for a day trip to Amsterdam (less than 90 minutes by train from Tilburg), where we wander over the canal bridges, meander along beautiful streets with vintage antique stores and hop on and off the tram. Our youngest decides she wants to move to the pretty Dutch capital so she can ride her bike to work every day. Back at the park, we split our stay between the hotel and the resort. Our first few days are in one of the hotel's Savanne rooms, geared to guests who want to eat at the resort's many à la carte, buffet or fine dining restaurants. We then move to a Savanne lodge at the 'top' of the safari resort, with a view of the bigger 'Masai Mara plain'. The detached lodges are more spacious with full kitchens, ideal for self-catering families. Some even have saunas. While there is a small grocery shop on site, nearby Tilburg has plenty of supermarkets to stock up at. Our tip would be to budget for the significant additional cost of breakfast, lunch and dinner if you stay at the hotel. While the veranda view of the plain from our first hotel room is spectacular, the additional cost of eating out makes the self-catering lodge much more affordable. Is there a specific age where our fascination with animals dims, before being reignited as a parent? I would say for any child pre-secondary school – before the self-conscious cynicism and underwhelmed eye-rolls kick in – Beekse Bergen is a remarkable family holiday, especially for those interested in the natural world. 'A safari in the Netherlands?' your friends will ask, intrigued and maybe a little sceptical: 'How does that work?' As ever, with Dutch family vacations, it just trip was provided by Little Clogs Holidays and Beekse Bergen safari resort. A seven-night lodge stay for two adults and two children starts at €1,731 (£1,500), including tourist taxes

Tasha Ghouri sets pulses racing as she shares series of racy bikini pics from her 'Italian summer'
Tasha Ghouri set pulses racing on Sunday as she shared a series of racy bikini pics from her 'Italian summer'. The Love Island alumni - who has just turned 27 - spent last week partying in Barcelona for her birthday, as she welcomed in her next chapter after quitting Channel 4 's Celeb SAS. It was filmed last year but aired on screens in recent weeks, with stars such as presenter Chloe Burrows and dancer Louis Spence also dropping out. After catching a flight from Spain to Italy, Tasha has been enjoying the sunshine following a few days of celebrations. She was glowing in her latest Instagram post as she showed off her natural tan in her swimwear. The reality star went make-up free for the photos, embracing her natural features as she let her hair down. She had a large glass of Whispering Angel wine in her hand as she posed for some stunning selfies, which included gorgeous scenery from the idyllic getaway in what appeared to be dreamy Sorrento. Other snaps showed Tasha tucking into a bowl of mouth-watering pasta, as well as views of the city. Her holiday seemed to be a mixture of relaxation, yummy food and plenty of wine. Tasha has recently been at the centre of headlines after Daily Mail revealed that her new boyfriend Cam was in a long-term relationship just weeks before going public with the Strictly star. The TV personality celebrated her birthday on Monday after a turbulent year - from splitting from ex Andrew Le Page - to dating new man Cam. She appeared to have a fun trip surrounded by her nearest and dearest, confirming she flew home on Tuesday with an Instagram snap from the plane. On Instagram, alongside a series of stunning photos, Tasha reflected on the ups and downs, writing: 'Goodbye 26.. dancing my way into 27!! 'Feeling incredibly grateful for everything this past year has brought, the growth, the love, the lessons and special moments! 26 was good to me, here's to 27 and everything this next chapter holds!! Have a feeling it's going to be magical. So much love to all of you, my friends & family who have been by my side through it all, going into this year with a full heart.' Her YouTuber boyfriend Cam stars in CBBC series One Zoo Three and BBC show OZT Goes Wild alongside his brothers Ty and Aaron. His family run Hertfordshire Zoo and he is the managing director of a non-profit charity, The Big Cat Sanctuary, which rescues wild cats and protects species at risk of extinction. Cam was previously dating stunning wildlife photographer Felicity Sutton, 34, for a year and together they shared a love of animals, with pals convinced at the time that 'nothing' could break the pair up. A source told The Sun: 'It came as a surprise to everyone to see Cam with Tasha. He was so loved up with Felicity before'. 'This time last year, he was with Felicity on his birthday, and it really looked like nothing would break them, but a year on, he's in Tuscany with Tasha for his big day. Everyone is bemused. 'Felicity doesn't have any hard feelings towards him as such, and she will always cherish their time together, it's just a lot to see your ex in the limelight suddenly.' Meanwhile Tasha's ex, Andrew Le Page, launched into an explosive rant about her being on a dating app during their relationship. Andrew claimed on that Tasha was using the celebrity dating app Raya while still in a relationship with him and insisted he wanted to speak out after she had appeared on 'one too many podcasts' to speak about him. The reality star went make-up free for the photos, embracing her natural features as she let her hair down Soon after, they released a shock joint statement. In the statement shared with Daily Mail, the former couple who met on Love Island in 2022, came together to address 'hurtful comments' in a move that took place after Andrew accused Tasha of not being able to 'keep his name out of her mouth'. The exes quickly put Andrew's rant aside and came together to address the 'noise' around their relationship as Tasha admitted to 'making mistakes' during their romance. Both parties expressed their wish to 'move on' from the relationship after suffering 'judgement and cruelty' from online trolls.

Georgia Toffolo looks carefree as she shares sizzling bikini-clad snaps during sunny Marbella getaway with husband James Watt amid BrewDog founder's business woes
Georgia Toffolo flaunted her toned figure in a skimpy bikini as she relaxed at the beach while on holiday in Marbella with husband James Watt. The Made In Chelsea star, 30, took to her Instagram on Sunday to share a slew of sizzling snaps of her soaking up the sun in a tiny navy blue two-piece. Displaying her chiselled midriff and long legs, she stretched out on a deckchair with her feet in the surf to top up her bronzed glow. Georgia also slipped into a semi-sheer maxi skirt and grabbed a hand-held fan to pose for a string of stunning photos on the luxury getaway. Taking to the caption, she raved about her relaxation day and offered tips to her followers, writing: 'This and not knowing what day it is! P.S. take this as a sign to buy a beach chair like the locals have. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!!!' Georgia looked utterly carefree in the snaps, despite her husband James' company being hit by another major blow. It has been revealed that BrewDog's beers have been axed by almost 2,000 pubs across Britain, as the embattled brewers' popularity continues to wane. James founded the company in 2007 by with Martin Dickie, with firm rising to prominence in the 2010s amid a surge in demand for independent beers and hoppy IPAs. However in recent years, the company's fortunes have started to turn, with their range of draught beers having disappeared entirely from around 1,860 pubs in the last two years, according to private industry data. The blow means BrewDog's UK distribution has been cut by more than a third. It also shows that its best-known beer, Punk IPA, has suffered the worst loss after being removed from 1,980 pubs – a 52 per cent decline in distribution. Pubs are now reducing their offerings or opting for rival beers such as Camden Town and Beavertown instead. The data, which was seen by the Telegraph, revealed most of the pubs scrapping BrewDog beers are part of large chains, removing a key source of revenue for the brewer at the same time as it struggles to revive its fortunes. BrewDog recorded losses of £59m in 2023 and £30.5m in 2022, with its CEO admitting in a recent interview that the company would be making another loss this year. It has been revealed that BrewDog's beers have been axed by almost 2,000 pubs across Britain, as the embattled brewers' popularity continues to wane (James pictured in BrewDog's) Last month, the company announced the closure of 10 of its own branded bars across the UK, including its flagship site in Aberdeen, after deciding they were not 'commercially viable'. And the chain had started the year by closing six pubs across the world, including two in England, three in Europe and one in England. The firm is continuing to weather accusations of an image problem after ditching its claim to be 'carbon negative' after it ditched offsetting schemes that it claimed were both too expensive and not efficient enough to justify the label. It had already been criticised for using the label by advertising watchdogs, and was slammed by environmentalists for its claim of creating a carbon-negative forest in Scotland after it was revealed that half of the 500,000 saplings had already died. BrewDog's reputation has taken a hammering in recent years after being embroiled in a number of publicity storms. The firm was accused by former workers in an open letter in 2021 of having a 'culture of fear' within the business, with 'toxic attitudes' towards junior staff, with BrewDog apologising and promising to 'listen, learn and act' James later admitted to being 'too intense and demanding' amid a workplace culture row where he was accused of inappropriate behaviour and abusing his power. Speaking with on Steven Bartlett's Diary of a CEO podcast about his leadership, he admitted to previously pushing people 'too far' because of his 'high standards', but insisted that his actions were done with '100 per cent good intentions.' James then stepped back from the role of CEO in May 2024 amidst a flurry of accusations of improper conduct, being replaced by current CEO James Taylor. He left three months after Ofcom rejected a complaint he had lodged against the BBC after it made a documentary outlining misconduct allegations. The self-described BrewDog 'Captain' faced a number of improper conduct allegations in 2021 concerning female staff, and was revealed to have invested in Heineken, contrasting with his brewery's anti-establishment 'punk' image. James denied claims that he made female bartenders feel 'uncomfortable' and 'powerless' and that he would take intoxicated women on private late-night tours of the brewery. He went on to tie the knot with Georgia earlier this year, onboard a fishing boat just off the coast of the picturesque town of Gardenstown in Aberdeenshire. The pair got engaged in October after the millionaire proposed with an eight carat triple-diamond studded band estimated to be worth £200,000, while on holiday in Greece for Georgia's 30th birthday. In May, it was revealed the pair are worth a staggering £425 million, according to The Sunday Times, overtaking the likes of Ed Sheeran, Lord Sainsburys, Harry Styles and Lewis Hamilton.
