Why does Chris Hemsworth regret taking an Oscars selfie with Billie Eilish?

Chris Hemsworth is known to be one of the most humble and funniest actors in the film industry. The actor often goes by his rules and never misses a chance to have fun during events. He also had his wife, Elsa Pataky, by his side during these incidents. While a recent highlight of their social life was meeting Billie Eilish.

The couple captured a selfie with the Birds Of A Feather singer but instantly regretted it.

Hemsworth recently appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and got candid about the experience he had at the Academy Awards 2024. During the "Questionert" portion, he recalled a celebrity selfie that he regrets. To the audience's surprise, the celebrity Hemsworth named was Billie Eilish. As he revealed the reason behind regretting taking a selfie with the singer, he left everyone in splits.

Chris Hemsworth said,

"I got a photograph with Billie Eilish at the Oscars. And I remember thinking, 'don't do it, don't do it, don't do it,' and I was like, 'No, my kids are gonna love this.'"

The photo was posted on social media by his wife Elsa Pataky.

Hemsworth further revealed that he regretted the photo as he was now a fan of the 23-year-old singer and not a colleague. He said,

"And the moment I took it I was like, I went from a work colleague to now like a fan and we could never be friends. We could never be best friends."

When Colbert asked whether Hemsworth ever worked with Eilish on a project or not, he replied with a no. However, he still considers them as "same industry" colleagues.

"You know, like, same industry kind of colleagues. Bumping - Bumping shoulders."

Jokingly, Colbert added that he is also a colleague of Anthony Hopkins per the same logic.

"A 100% sure. Me and Anthony Hopkins, we are colleagues," Corden quipped.

This is not the first time the Thor star took a selfie at a prestigious event. He has also broken the no-photo protocol at the Met Gala, one of the biggest events in the fashion industry.

Last year, while speaking to E! News, he admitted to taking "heaps of selfies" at the event. At that time, he said,

"Selfies everywhere. A lot of selfies in my phone. Like, 'When did I take that? Let's delete that one.'"
