Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth wins Logie for staring in an ad

Famed Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth can add another achievement to his long list of achievements, and it’s probably not what you expected.

HOLLYWOOD star Chris Hemsworth can add another title to his long list of achievements.

The Northern NSW local and Avengers: Endgame star has been given a Logie for starring in a trailer for a movie that was never made.

Bauer media made the announcement yesterday that the famed Dundee ad campaign by Tourism Australia had won the award for the “Most Popular TV Commercial”.

The 60 second commercial, called Dundee: Australia’s Tourism Ad in Disguise, was first shown on TV last year for the 2018 Super Bowl game.

American actor and comedian Danny McBridge also stars in the video, which looks like it’s a trailer for a film, but is really an advertisement showing off all that Australia has to offer.

The ad has since been viewed almost 950,000 times on YouTube.

Tourism Australia will be given a $100,000 marketing campaign across the Bauer Network.

Tourism Australia Managing Director John O’Sullivan said the ad had succeeded in capturing the imagination of both Americans and Australians alike.

“Nobody is prouder nor cares more about how their country is marketed overseas than Australians, and that was certainly a huge consideration for us when we developed Dundee,” he said.

“With this ad we wanted to have some fun, elevate the Australian way of life and really lean in to our personality.
