Chris Hemsworth shared his close encounter with a massive spider on Thursday.
Taking to Instagram, the Hollywood star, 40, posted a spine-tingling clip of the moment he got up close and personal with the arachnid.
‘Look at that,’ he said as he approached the creature.
The spider soon jumped up on the spot causing the Thor actor to flinch.
Chris Hemsworth laughed off the moment, saying ‘Jesus Christ.’
He captioned the clip ‘Didn’t even scare me.’
Followers were quick to comment on the jump scare moment.
One Marvel fan joked: ‘Thor VS Spider-Man lets begin the fight.’
‘How did you not run away screaming. Maybe that’s what I would have done,’ a third wrote.
‘This is why I’m never stepping foot in Australia. Never,’ another said.
It comes after Chris Hemsworth revealed the heartbreaking reason he took up acting and why he believes the career which brought him fame and fortune is slowing ‘killing’ him.
The Thor star made the confronting admission in an episode of the Disney+ reality series Limitless, admitting his career choice stems from a difficult childhood.
‘If I’m totally honest, I did acting to get my parents out of debt. It could be killing me. When I first started acting, my parents had very little money,’ he began.
‘Talking to my dad about when he’s going to be able to pay the bank off and him saying, “Never, we’ll die having to pay it off”, that really bothered me from a young age.’
What gives me huge anxiety and evokes stress is when I’m trying to take care of too many things, too many projects.
‘I still have these thoughts of like, it’s all going to go away if I don’t say yes to these things. I can still feel stress eating away at me, and I don’t want it to rule my life.’
The National Geographic docuseries Limitless charts Chris’ commitment to healthy living as he goes on an epic mission to ensure he lives a long and productive life.
