Hollywood heart-throb Chris Hemsworth has shown his “down-to-earth” character, dropping in for some Tasmanian fish and chips in the mid-afternoon sun at a Hobart waterfront restaurant.

The Australian actor – best known for his role as Thor in the Marvel movies – had spent the morning at Shipstern Bluff watching the action in the Red Bull Cape Fear surf contest.

Restaurant manager Gary Shepherd said the actor was very down-to-earth.

“They just rocked in, had some of our famous blue eye and chips – he said he loved it,” Mr Shepherd said.

“Our chef’s brother was down at Shippies earlier today, that’s where Chris and the guys have been as well.

“He’s very down-to-earth. He said thanks very much.”
