Watch Chris Hemsworth Do the Samba on Dancing With the Stars Australia

Today's completely random, but totally amusing fact: Thor, Avengers, and Snow White and the Huntsman star Chris Hemsworth was a star on Season 5 of Australia's Dancing With the Stars in 2006. Yes, really!

Back then, Chris was just an Australian soap star, not an international heartthrob. He lasted six weeks, which is pretty good, and it means there are plenty of awesome YouTube videos of the actor dancing up a storm.

Here's an example: Chris dancing the Samba. We find it funnier if we pretend he's in character as alien/demi-god Thor. Because, really, what's better than a Samba-ing norse god?

Watch the next new episode of DWTS on Monday, May 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
