Chris Hemsworth may be worth millions, but there’s nothing he loves more than a cheap birthday cake.
The Australian actor celebrated his 41st birthday this week with a white mud cake worth AUD$7.05 from supermarket chain Woolworths.
The Thor actor shared a video on Instagram on Monday of himself enjoying the treat all by himself.
The dessert is described on the website as ‘a soft and fluffy cake with a beautiful glossy white chocolate glaze and finished with dark chocolate swirls for an extra treat’ and is a favourite among Australians.
“I just want to thank you all for all the birthday wishes and love,” Chris said in his video.
“I didn’t actually take any pictures yesterday, so I bought myself a cake and I thought I’d have a little, little, little private party and I bought some champagne as well,” he explained.
Chris added: ‘I bought some flowers. That’s the thing. You know, as you get older, you realise that the circle of people around you, the people you love, gets smaller and smaller.
‘So I’m the only one. But don’t worry, like I said, I have a lovely cake and some bubbles and a little arrangement to go with it.’

His fans were impressed and someone wrote in the comments: ‘In touch with the common man’.
Another said: ‘It’s amazing that despite all your success you’re still humble enough to have a Woolies mud pie for a birthday cake. Happy Birthday!!!’
Another said: ‘The Cole’s or Woolies mud pie is gone’, while others argued about whether Chris had bought the Woolworths or Coles version, which looks very similar and is valued at AUD$6.40.
Last year, Chris sent fans running to the supermarket after showing off the cheap cake he received for his 40th birthday.

Described on the website as ‘a soft and fluffy cake with a beautiful glossy white chocolate glaze and finished with curls of dark chocolate for an extra treat’, the humble dessert is a favourite with Australians.
The Spiderhead actor shared a photo on Instagram in honor of the event, which shows him next to a Woolworth’s Chocolate Drip Cake.
“Thanks for all the birthday wishes! Another lap around the sun and still going strong. I can safely say that not a single piece of cake survived the night,” he wrote in the caption.
After the photo was posted, fans flocked to Woolworths to sample the dessert for themselves.
The cake costs AUD$29 and is described as a ‘light cake with a delicious chocolate buttercream, covered with a layer of Belgian dark chocolate.’

TikTok user aims.lc was one of the Australians inspired to try the cake, sharing a video on the platform in which she gave her review of the cake.
“This is the cake that Chris Hemsworth had for his birthday. He’s an Australian icon,” she said.
“It smells so good. It’s dense… I hate the word ‘moist,’ but it’s the only word that comes to mind. That, my friends (is) delicious cake, (with the) thickest layer of icing. It’s so good.”
Fans praised Chris Hemsworth in the comments for his down-to-earth choice of a Woolworths cake.
“It gives me so much comfort that Thor had a Woolies cake for his birthday,” one user wrote.
“Great that someone like him is happy with a Woolies cake!” commented another.
