One of the biggest international stars of film, actor Chris Hemsworth has joined Audi Australia as the brand’s newest film ambassador, reinforcing Audi’s commitment to the film industry and Australian artists.

The Australian-born actor boasts legions of fans around the world and is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Thor in the blockbuster Avengers films, but has shown his acting range in films as diverse as Rush, Blackhat as well as his comedic style with films like Vacation.

In his first collaboration with Audi, Hemsworth will co-host an exclusive screening of his upcoming epic action adventure In the Heart of the Sea at the Entertainment Quarter in Moore Park, Sydney, on November 17, 2015, to benefit the Australian Childhood Foundation.

Directed by Oscar winner Ron Howard, the film chronicles the true story of the 1820 sea voyage of the whaling ship Essex and the hunt for a mammoth whale that inspired the legend Moby Dick. Once again, Hemsworth shows another side to his acting ability in the epic production, which is already attracting attention as an Academy Award contender.

Certainly, Chris Hemsworth has shown not only his versatility in recent projects, but his work ethic, never resting on past achievements, but always looking to pursue new avenues and push his own acting boundaries.

Audi Australia’s Managing Director, Andrew Doyle, said that the brand’s partnership with Chris Hemsworth exemplifies its love of film and commitment to Australian artists.

“Not only is Chris one of our most successful and talented acting exports, he’s a laidback Australian family man who epitomises the true essence of Audi style and sophistication,” Mr Doyle said.

“We are incredibly proud of our ambassador program, which is now in its 18th year. We take great pride in generating long-term relationships with successful Australians who share the company’s brand values.”

“I’m absolutely delighted to be an ambassador here in Australia and I'm incredibly grateful for Audi‘s generous support of my charity, the Australian Childhood Foundation, which means together, we can achieve great change” Audi Australia Ambassador Chris Hemsworth said.

Although constantly in demand for films projects around the world, Hemsworth has long been an advocate and patron of the nationwide non-profit organisation, the Australian Childhood Foundation, which for nearly three decades has been committed to providing programs, counseling and resources to support children and families devastated by abuse, family violence and neglect.

The Australian Childhood Foundation’s CEO Dr Joe Tucci extended his gratitude to Audi for supporting their fundraising efforts.

“Along with the support of our patron Chris Hemsworth, we hope Audi's private gala screening and reception for In The Heart Of The Sea will raise enough funds for the Australian Childhood Foundation to assist with the development of a Sydney Trauma Recovery Centre for Children,” Mr Tucci said.

No doubt the new pairing of Chris Hemsworth and Audi Australia will produce exciting results across the board, starting with the exclusive screening of In the Heart of the Sea.
