Chris Hemsworth recently went undercover for British GQ, reading fan comments and questions they have for him from various social media sites. At one point, when he entered Instagram, Hemsworth read out a fan comment on one of his posts, “Chris why don’t you invite Ben surfing so he doesn’t have to take his shirt off”.
The comment was made in reference to Ben Affleck talking to Insider during their recent promotion of the movie AIR. About Australia, Affleck said that his best friend Matt Damon loves it and he spends time with Chris Hemsworth every time he visits. So, when Affleck was asked if he would do the same, he said that he might but they are keeping their shirts on. Ben Affleck was joking about the fact that Chris Hemsworth has a jacked physique that might put any man to shame standing next to him.
When Hemsworth read out Affleck’s comment from an article, and replied, “Well, he… he can come surfing. Ben, come surfing and keep your shirt on. Keep it all on. Let’s keep it above board and we’ll put a wetsuit on you buddy, don’t worry”. While Ben Affleck is yet to respond to Hemsworth on his proposal, his love of surfing may not keep him from accepting it for long.
Both Affleck and Hemsworth have been avid surfers, while the latter almost depends on it
