In a poll of 3537 Take 5 readers, the 35-year-old Byron Bay resident beat 19 other hairy hopefuls to the title.
The magazine’s readers judged The Avengers actor’s fuzz to be hotter than those sported by his brother Liam,
Simon Baker, Hamish Blake, Joel Edgerton and Hugh Jackman.
Take 5 editor Paul Merrill said: “We asked the readers to judge the actual beards themselves, not the faces
or bodies behind them. It seems that Aussie women are impressed with the complete Hemsworth package
as Chris won by some distance! I’m sure he’ll consider this the highlight of his career to date.”
Chris, who has recently completed filming the Men In Black reboot, revealed earlier
this year that the secret to his beard’s softness is coconut oil.
Runner up in the poll was Have You Been Paying Attention star Marty Sheargold.
He was followed by Hamish Blake in third and The Living Room’s Miguel Maestre in fourth.
Take 5 is Australia’s No 1 real life and puzzles title and has been voted Magazine of the Year for the past three years.
The complete top 10 is below
- Chris Hemsworth
- Marty Sheargold
- Hamish Blake
- Miguel Maestre
- Former Bachelor Tim Robards
- Hugh Jackman
- Shock jock Kyle Sandilands
- NRL legend Matty Johns
- Actor and director Simon Baker
- Boy Erased star Joel Edgerton
