Chris Hemsworth was pictured sitting next to Angelina Jolie at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, and fans soon flocked to Twitter to remark how similar he looked to her ex-husband Brad Pitt.
And when Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi later took to Instagram to share the full photo – which included himself on the same table – Chris’ wife Elsa Pataky couldn’t resist writing a cheeky comment.
The Spanish actress and model, 41, who shares three children with Chris, wrote, ‘What a great couple’, before cheekily adding: ‘I mean you boys!’

It comes after Golden Globe viewers did a double take when Angelina was seated next to the Australian actor in the audience.
The 42-year-old Oscar winner looked in happy spirits as she posed with Chris, who has frequently been compared to a young brad Pitt.
Fans have often remarked that when Chris starred in Avengers, he looked very similar to Brad when he appeared in 2004 film Troy.

Another fan wrote on social media: ‘For a long time I thought that Brad Pitt played Thor in avengers. LOL.’
Photo bomber: Also at the A list table eight was director Taika Waititi
Angelina looked comfortable next to the hunk at their table inside the Beverly Hilton hotel where the Golden Globes took place. Also with them was director Taika Waititi as well as Angie’s 14-year-old son Pax.
Chris is a 34-year-old actor from Melbourne, Australia who has been married to Elsa Pataky for seven years.
He is best known for the films Thor, The Avengers, and In The Heart Of The Sea. He can next be seen in Avengers: Infinity War in May.

Brad, who is still in the process of working out the details of his divorce from Angelina, did not attend the Globes on Sunday.
Angie oozed glamour as she posed with her handsome 14-year-old lad on the red carpet as he matched his mother in a black tuxedo with Time’s Up pin.
The By The Sea director looked nothing short of sensational in a black gown, keeping with the event’s colour scheme, with sheer neckline and feathered sleeves.

The Salt star wore her hair up in an elegant chignon and donned diamond drop earrings for a little sparkle.
She complemented her flawless alabaster complexion with some shimmery pink lip gloss.
Angelina presented a gong during the evening, as did Jennifer Aniston, who was also previously married to Brad.
The duo rarely attend the same events but with both slated to be presenting there was higher chance for a run-in between the actresses.

But Jennifer, 48, chose to skip the red carpet, instead making an appearance on stage alongside Carol Burnett to present the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy.
It is unlikely the women were seated near to one another however as Jenny Cooney, a member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association – who helps work out the seating plan for the Golden Globes – recently revealed personal circumstances are taken into account when planning who will share a table at the glitzy ceremony.
‘There have been years where major stars may be together for the first time since a high-profile split and we go to great lengths to put them on opposite sides of the ballroom’ Cooney told Australia’s Vogue.

‘It was always stressful to have Jennifer Aniston in the same room with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and this year we were wondering if Brad Pitt showed up, how that would be received by Angelina Jolie.
‘It’s good for the audience but maybe not for the exes,.’ she added.
Angelina split with Brad in September 2016, filing for divorce and citing irreconcilable differences and requesting physical custody for all six of their children.

Jennifer was married to Brad from 2000 until 2005. They split as it was rumored that the actor had fallen for Angelina on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith.
This year’s Golden Globes was seen as the first big opportunity for Hollywood to speak with one voice against a pervasive culture of misconduct brought to light by the downfall of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, unmasked as a serial predator.
The focus Sunday night was as much on the stars’ acceptance speeches as on the performances being honoured at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s glitzy bash.
Actors and actresses turned out in black this year, in solidarity with victims of Weinstein and numerous other figures exposed by the harassment and abuse scandal, including Kevin Spacey, Brett Ratner and Dustin Hoffman.
