Clad in a beanie and holding a cake knife, Hemsworth looks to be in absolute sugary bliss.
“Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Another lap around sun and still goin’ strong!” the post was captioned.
“I can safely say not a single piece of cake made it through the night.”
While most fans were happy to simply wish the actor a happy birthday, there was one detail in the photos that got picked up on by the official TikTok account of a major supermarket chain.
As it turns out, the circular drip cake directly in front of Hemsworth is a $29 Woolworths special.
“Wishing Mr Hemsworth a Happy Birthday, and we hope you enjoyed your Woolies cake! 🔍🎂,” a video posted to Woolworths’ TikTok is captioned.
The video shows a young Woolies worker looking at Hemsworth’s Instagram post before “noticing something”.
“I have seen that cake before,” the voiceover says.
“No way!”
It’s a Woolworths Chocolate Drip Cake, which retails for a modest $29 and is described as a “light sponge with chocolate buttercream finished with a Belgian dark chocolate drip”.
“It brings me so much comfort that Thor had a Woolies cake for his birthday,” one TikTok user wrote.
“He knows quality when he sees it,” noted another.
“Serves 20? Not in my house lol,” joked another.
“Well at the end of the day (he’s) just like one of us lol. Only difference (is) his celebrity,” stated one.
“Woolies gonna save on their marketing budget for the next decade,” another commented.
Added one: “If it’s good enough for Thor, it’s good enough for me!”
“Even celebrities can’t resist a Woolies cake,” added another.
As it turns out, the pink cupcake, which the Thor star can be seen devouring in one photo, is also from Woolies.
It’s from the Woolworths Mini Iced Cupcakes pack, which costs $5.50 for a pack of nine.
Meanwhile, some fans were impressed with the sheer amount of sugar on display in Hemsworth’s birthday photos on Instagram.
“Happy birthday Chris! Wow that’s a big cake! More training to burn off those calories haha!” noted one follower.
“Chris Hemsworth + cake …What more could you want,” gushed another, while one fan described the spread as a classic “girl dinner”.
And indeed, one of Hemsworth’s follow-up posts on Instagram was a video of himself working out at the gym after the cake feast.
“Sweating off the birthday cake,” the post was captioned.
