The heartwarming tribute comes after reports Hemsworth could take the place of Daniel Craig as British secret agent James Bond.

"The buzz, and in my opinion, is that it's Chris Hemsworth for Bond. He would be perfect. I am not being biased in any way," 007 stunt double Bobby Holland Hanton told The Mirror.

"I think he would be perfect for it, and he has got a fantastic English accent as everyone knows from his performance in Rush."

Hemsworth would be the second Australian to play the character, following George Lazenby in 1969.
