"Hemsworthy": The Woolies cake that has Chris Hemsworth's seal of approval

Chris Hemsworth celebrated his 40th birthday like a true Aussie, with an iconic cake from Woolworths. 

The Thor actor took to Instagram to share photos of his birthday celebrations with the caption: "Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Another lap around sun and still goin strong!

"I can safely say not a single piece of cake made it through the night." 

The star celebrated his birthday with his wife Elsa Pataky. 

In a TikTok video the supermarket giant revealed that Hemsworth had kicked off his birthday celebrations with The Woolworths Chocolate Drip Cake. 

The clip showed a Woolies employee looking at the Instagram pictures the Aussie actor had posted before zooming in on the dessert with the caption:  "I have seen that cake before."

They then confirmed that the cake was in fact their delectable $29 sponge cake with chocolate buttercream and a Belgian dark chocolate drip. 

Fans were delighted to see the actor celebrate his birthday in true Aussie style. 

"It brings me so much comfort that Thor had a Woolies cake for his birthday," one person commented. 

"If it's good enough for Thor it's good enough for me,"  another wrote. 

"Even celebrities can't resist a Woolies cake,"  commented a third. 

A Woolworths spokesperson also released a statement sharing how happy they were that the Hollywood star loved their cake. 

"We have an amazing selection of quality cakes that are ready and available for everyone to celebrate, and we mean everyone!" they said. 

"So glad to see there wasn't a single piece of our iconic Chocolate Drip Cake left - we are glad it was Hemsworthy and we hope that he enjoyed his birthday celebrations."
