Chris Hemsworth Shares Cringe-Worthy Selfie Story with Billie Eilish at the Oscars — “It Was Painfully Awkward!”
Chris Hemsworth is known for his larger-than-life roles, from wielding Thor’s hammer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to turning heads on the red carpet. But even a Hollywood heartthrob isn’t immune to an awkward celeb encounter — especially when it involves Gen Z queen Billie Eilish!
During a recent media appearance, the 40-year-old Aussie actor opened up about what he called one of his “most uncomfortable Hollywood moments” — an unplanned, totally cringe selfie attempt with Billie Eilish during Oscars night.
Yep, even Chris Hemsworth gets starstruck and awkward around Billie.
The Marvel star recalled the moment with a laugh, saying, “It was at the Oscars after-party. I saw Billie Eilish and thought, ‘Okay, this is my chance. Just get a quick selfie, be cool.’ But of course, I tripped over my own feet, literally, and totally photobombed someone else trying to get a pic with her. It was painfully awkward.”
According to Hemsworth, Eilish, 22, was gracious but clearly confused by the moment.
“She gave me this look—like, ‘Are you okay?’” Hemsworth shared. “And I was just standing there saying something like, ‘Big fan! Love your work!’ before walking away without even getting the photo.”
Major facepalm! 😬
The moment quickly became a relatable tale for fans and fellow stars who’ve experienced their own red carpet fails. As if we needed more proof that stars—they’re just like us!
Though Hemsworth didn’t get that iconic selfie, he said he has nothing but respect for the “What Was I Made For?” singer, who took home an Academy Award for Best Original Song that night with her brother and collaborator, Finneas.
“She’s incredibly talented and continues to blow people away,” Hemsworth gushed. “It’s funny — the universe just said, ‘Not tonight, mate.’”
The Aussie actor shared the hilarious encounter in promotion of his upcoming Netflix film, which also stars another Gen Z sensation, giving fans hope that a future collab — or less awkward selfie — with Billie might still happen.
As for the internet, social media lit up with sympathy and secondhand embarrassment.
“Chris Hemsworth having an awkward moment with Billie Eilish is so real. Literally all of us if we saw her in person,” one fan tweeted.
Others are already calling for the two stars to do a proper joint selfie — maybe on next year’s Vanity Fair red carpet?
One Twitter user summed it up perfectly: “Chris Hemsworth wanted a selfie with Billie Eilish and ended up spiraling into Aussie chaos. I need this story turned into a short film.”
While Eilish hasn’t publicly responded to the story, fans are now waiting to see if she’ll acknowledge the sweet — if slightly clumsy — gesture. Billie, you’ve got a very famous fan!
This isn’t Hemsworth’s first comedic moment in public. The star, who famously doesn’t take himself too seriously, has a history of poking fun at himself in interviews and on social media. Whether he’s goofing around with his kids or getting trolled by his brothers (hey, Liam and Luke), Hemsworth knows how to laugh at life’s awkward moments.
Perhaps that’s why fans love him even more — even superheroes have cringe-worthy celeb encounters.
Oscars night may be all about glam, gold statues, and unforgettable performances, but moments like these remind us that the red carpet is also full of hilarious, totally human moments. And honestly? We live for it.
Chris Hemsworth’s candid storytelling, Billie Eilish’s chill reaction, and the viral buzz afterward prove that even when things don’t go according to plan, it makes for the most iconic stories.
So, will the Hollywood hunk get a do-over with the Grammy and Oscar winner?
Stay tuned — awards season 2025 might just deliver the ultimate redemption selfie.
Until then, we’ll be watching, and rewatching, for more meme-worthy moments from our fave glitterati celebs.
Chris, next time, maybe keep the hammer in your pocket. 😉
