On Sunday, April 7, the actor, 40, shared photos on Instagram from a recent visit to a remote Australian community in the Northern Territory called Gulin Gulin, where he once lived with his family as a child.
The Thor: Love and Thunder actor posed with community members wearing red in many of the photos, while he stood out in a gray tank top and black shorts.
Hemsworth's carousel of images featured a throwback photo, presumably of him as a young boy, posing with other children. He also included a photo of a banner that was drawn for him with the words "Welcome home," Superman "S" symbols, stars, flowers, hearts and a man wearing a cape.
Another image showed him meeting a young fan and autographing their shirt.
