Chris Hemsworth appears to be throwing a little shade at Miley Cyrus after the songstress’ divorce from his little brother, Liam Hemsworth, in August 2019. While doing an interview for News.com.au about his upcoming Netflix film Extraction, the Avengers: Endgame star seemingly threw a jab at his former sister-in-law when asked if he thought Liam would surpass him as the fittest Hemsworth brother.
“I think he’s done it,” Hemsworth said of the Hunger Games star. “Did you see the Men’s Health cover? I thought, ‘Not bad kid. Not bad.’ He’s out there training and staying fit, and back in Australia doing his thing.” It was then that Chris seemed to make reference to Liam’s relationship with Cyrus, during which they lived in Malibu, California, after which her hit 2017 single “Malibu” was titled. “It’s Australian living, I guess. We got him out of Malibu!” Hemsworth said with a grin.

Following their split, Hemsworth’s wife, Elsa Pataky told E!

He’s a strong boy and he deserves the best, I think he deserves much better. You always find support in your family, and he’s joined at the hip with his brother, who has been there to give all the strength he needed.”
