Chris Hemsworth and Matt Damon Are Having a Major Bromance in Australia
You might not be seeing Jason Bourne and Thor team up on-screen any time soon, but Matt Damon and Chris Hemsworth sure did look chummy at a football game over the weekend.
Oscar-winning Damon, 48, and Avengers star Hemsworth, 35, were spotted at an AFL game in Melbourne, watching the Western Bulldogs go up against the Sydney Swans. The pair took in the action from the Thor-themed corporate box at the recently renamed Marvel Stadium, surrounded by memorabilia from Hemsworth’s superhero movies.

Hemsworth appeared to be teaching Damon the ins and outs of the sport, and Damon soon got into the action, jumping out of his seat when the Bulldogs went 29 points up over the Swans, while Hemsworth recorded the entire thing on his phone.
I guess the Western Bulldoga didn't want to embarrass themselves in front of Chris Hemsworth and Matt Damon #AFLDogsSwans

“I guess the Western Bulldogs didn’t want to embarrass themselves in front of Chris Hemsworth and Matt Damon,” one fan tweeted, while another jokes that Damon “didn’t have a choice” but to learn about the AFL now that he’s pals with the Australian actor.

The two actors were also seen enjoying an Australian UFC fight together back in February. They have been getting increasingly friendly recently, with Damon and his family spending more time in Australia, staying at Hemsworth’s place in Byron Bay and prompting speculation that he’s going to move Down Under permanently.
Here’s hoping Ben Affleck, Damon’s other famous BFF, isn’t too jealous.
Damon will next be seen in the fact-based drama Ford vs. Ferrari on November 15, while Hemsworth will go up against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame on April 26.
