Ben Affleck shares hilarious reason why he never wants to be seen with Chris Hemsworth

Ben Affleck has shared the hilarious reason why he never wants to be photographed with hunky Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth.

In an interview with Insider,  the 50-year-old revealed his plans to visit Australia but joked he doesn’t want to be pictured with Chris unlike his best friend Matt Damon, who is regularly seen with the Thor star.

‘Matt’s basically, as far as I can tell, an honorary citizen he is there so much – he’s friends with Chris Hemsworth and I think that shows enormous character of Matt to be friends with a guy that much younger and better looking than him,’ Ben joked.

‘Good in practice – but I don’t want to sit next to Chris Hemsworth in photographs so I applaud Matt.’

‘But I’d love to come. I’m hoping one day Chris will invite me to come down and stay at his place, as long as I don’t have to take any shirtless pictures next to him.’

Matt spent six months living in Byron Bay while filming Thor: Love and Thunder and was regularly photographed spending time with Chris, 39, and his wife Elsa Pataky.

Chris, Elsa and their three children reside in a $30million mansion in Broken Head, near the celebrity enclave of Byron Bay.

The fortress like property, which sits high above Seven Mile Beach, boasts a gymnasium, butler’s pantry, fire pit, change rooms, outdoor play area for the three Hemsworth children and walk-in wardrobes.

Angry neighbours were quick to say the building reminded them of a suburban shopping centre, a refurbished RSL club or a regional airport terminal.

Others compared it to a multi-storey car park.

Meanwhile, Matt and Ben have been the best of friends since they were kids growing up in Boston.

They joined forces to co-write the script for drama Good Will Hunting which earned them the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 1998.

They are also co-stars in upcoming movie Air, which is set to be released on April 5.
