This viral video of Chris Hemsworth crashing a live weather broadcast on “Today Show Australia” proved there’s nothing he can’t do. In September 2020, the network shared a whimsical video of Hemsworth stepping into the frame of presenter Lauren Phillips’s live weather segment and then taking over with his signature charm and wittiness. The clip has now resurfaced on X (formerly Twitter), showing glimpses of the delightful moment between the Australian star and the presenter.
In the video, Phillips was in the Scone countryside doing a weekend weather segment for the show when the actor crashed the live broadcast. At first, he sneakily walked into the frame before approaching the presenter, who was completely taken aback by the encounter. The segment then showed the flabbergasted reactions of hosts Richard Wilkins and Rebecca Maddern. Meanwhile, Phillips and Hemsworth joined forces on the ground to “mispronounce” and report on the weather.
Chris Hemsworth then took over the live weather broadcast, reading the details aloud alongside Phillips. The duo continued with their reporting with additional comments here and there when the Australian star shouted out to his Melbourne natives who were in the middle of a COVID-19 lockdown at the time.
Since resurfacing, the video has amassed over 18 million views and thousands of reactions. One such comment remarked, “That dude is a stud. Can’t compete with that dude.” More commenters referred to his on-screen role in Marvel as Thor, “God of thunder doing the weather forecast!” while many others praised his skills.
