Chris Hemsworth joked that he offered to marry Matt Damon to earn him Australian citizenship.
The Hollywood stars are close friends and the US star has visited the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ actor in his homeland of Australia in the past – sometimes for months at a time – but it doesn’t seem like a move is on the cards just yet.
Speaking to The Project about his pal qualifying for dual citizenship, Chris quipped: "I tried to marry him and it was immediately squashed.
"Don’t really want him there [in Australia]. Kind of steals a little bit of the limelight."
Last year, Chris couldn’t resist teasing his friend because each time the 47-year-old actor – who raises Alexia, 19, Isabella, 11, Gia, nine, and Stella, seven, with wife Luciana – and his family have visited they’ve had some unfortunate encounters with local wildlife.
Matt has previously spoken of how Stella was stung by a huge jellyfish, and Chris – who has daughter India, six, and twins Sasha and Tristan, four, with wife Elsa Pataky – has now revealed the ‘Suburbicon’ star freaked out after a close encounter with a snake on his second visit.
The 34-year-old hunk – who is an ambassador for Australian tourism – previously said: "He came a while ago and was all, ‘What about the snakes and sharks and spiders?’ and I was like, ‘It’s fine, whatever.’
"He came [on your show] and told the story of how his daughter got a jellyfish sting, it was the worst I’ve ever seen, I was like, ‘That’s a one off, what a random thing’. So he comes back over again, gives Australia a second shot.
"We pull up in the car at a cafe, he gets out, takes one step and then jumps back going ‘Oh my God, oh my God’. A huge big snake and he’d stood straight on it.
"He was like ‘You keep telling me they’re more scared of you’ but I said, ‘You’re the problem. It’s not Australia.’ We’ve had to kick him out of Australia for our sake."
