Chris Hemsworth celebrated his 42nd birthday in style as he partied on a boat with his famous friends, including Matt Damon, Taika Waititi and Rita Ora.

The Marvel star looked better than ever as he boarded the boat in Ibiza in a white tank top underneath a white button-up shirt, adding blue shorts, white sneakers and aviator sunglasses to complete the look.

Chris was joined by his good friend Matt, who took a tumble while hopping onto a dinghy and had to be held up by a friend. 

The actor looked smart in a navy polo shirt and beige trousers, and was accompanied by his wife, Luciana Barroso, to celebrate their friend's big day.

Also in attendance was Taika, who directed Chris in Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder

The filmmaker wore a tongue-in-cheek shirt that read "Working Class Hero", while his wife Rita sizzled in a purple polka dot bikini. 

She added sheer leggings and a leather belt, as well as a dangling turquoise pendant and a purple headband.

Living Down Under

Chris and Elsa are particularly close to Matt and Luciana, with the group frequently vacationing together in the past. The Thor actor stirred speculation that Matt was planning a move to Chris' home country of Australia, sharing with Today Extra that his family came to visit him in Byron Bay.

"He was in love with this country and wanted to come for a holiday," Chris shared. "And that holiday got longer and longer, and [Matt's family] have been here a few months now, and I'm loving it."

Chris and Elsa made the move from Hollywood to Australia after deciding to raise their kids away from the spotlight.

"When you're in Los Angeles, work suffocates you," Elsa told NewsCorp"There, all the conversations, even the billboards you see on the street, have to do with the world of cinema and its industry."

She continued: "It can make you lose perspective." As for why they didn't relocate to her home country of Spain, the actress explained that there's nothing quite like the Australian landscape.

"Living in Madrid is complicated when you've already lived in the countryside, in the middle of nature, it's hard," she said.
