    Chris Hemsworth is at the centre of a Covid controversy amid reports he refused to appear in a government advertising campaign promoting the vaccine rollout.

    But the Hollywood star, 38, looked like he didn’t have a care in the world last Tuesday as he went for a surf with his wife, Elsa Pataky, in Byron Bay.

    The Thor actor showed off his washboard abs as the couple caught waves at a deserted beach just a stone’s throw away from their $30million mansion.

    Chris and Elsa, 45, wore matching black wetsuits for the surfing session.

    Elsa went makeup free during their daily exercise, and styled her dark hair loosely. 

    At one stage, the Spanish actress caught a big wave back to the beach as her husband played with a cricket bat on the shore.

    Chris meanwhile, is making headlines amid claims he declined to appear in a star-studded advertising campaign promoting the Covid-19 vaccine in Australia. 

    The Byron Bay local was reportedly trying to secure himself a Pfizer jab in June, but when the government offered him a ‘speedy vaccination’ in exchange for featuring in the public health campaign, he turned them down.
