Imagine being so famous that you can just waltz into a live TV broadcast uninvited and everything turns out fine.
Well, that’s exactly what happened with a certain big-screen heartthrob.
Despite his fame, not everyone might recognize him instantly. After all, being a superstar doesn’t guarantee universal recognition.

This intriguing incident unfolded on live television. Lauren Phillips was presenting the weather on Weekend Today when a charming and good-looking man casually strolled into the frame.
Live TV is unpredictable, and this was one of those spontaneous moments. But what set this apart was the man’s eagerness to assist.

In a twist of live TV magic, Phillips invited the movie star to join her in presenting the weather.
He gladly accepted. Meanwhile, back in the studio, the anchors were visibly stunned. Rebecca Maddern’s reaction was priceless, her mouth agape in sheer amazement.
Richard Wilkins, though surprised, seemed less enthralled by the unexpected turn of events.

The actor, undeterred, continued to deliver the weather forecast for various Australian cities with a cheerful demeanor.
Phillips played along, treating him as if he were just a random passerby, though it’s likely she was in on the joke.
After all, you don’t let just anyone take over a live weather report!

The weather that day was quite pleasant, which is a bit ironic considering the actor’s famous role.
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe might have appreciated a call for thunder from this particular actor, often referred to as the “God of Thunder.”

As he reported the weather for Melbourne, he casually mentioned it was his hometown.
By now, you might have guessed his identity – it was none other than Chris Hemsworth, the star of Thor!

However, Hemsworth’s stint as a weatherman wasn’t flawless.
He forgot to report on Hobart’s weather, leaving the studio anchors humorously unimpressed.
They joked about his lack of weather-reporting skills and playfully suggested he might not be invited back. But something tells me they’d be more than happy to have him return.

“Did that just happen?” exclaimed co-host Rebecca Maddern after the segment.
“He just read the weather on ‘Weekend Today.’ My year made!”
This unexpected cameo by Hemsworth was a delightful surprise for everyone involved.
The video of Chris Hemsworth’s impromptu weather report became a viral sensation, amassing over 20 million views worldwide.
It’s a fun moment, and it’s great to see how well Rebecca did at playing along, pretending she didn’t know who she was talking to.
