Chris Hemsworth and Matt Damon bring their bromance to Santa Monica and share sweet hug after dinner

The bromance between Spiderhead producer star Chris Hemsworth and Air producer star Matt Damon hugged after reuniting for dinner at Italian restaurant Via Veneto in Santa Monica on Friday night.

The Australian 39-year-old and the Cambridge-born 52-year-old have been friends for over a decade and starred in three films together: Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019), and Thor: Ragnarok ( 2017).

“We became friends around the time I started working, and I’ve really benefited from seeing how he handles himself,” Chris shared GK back in 2014.

“Matt’s just a normal kid who’s got the movie star thing.”

Joining the talented pair for dinner was Matt’s wife of 17 – Luciana Bozán Barroso – who wore a beige cardigan with baggy khaki cargo pants and black boots.

Damon originally met the Argentinian 46-year-old in 2003 while she was bartending at a South Beach Miami nightclub where he was filming the Farrelly Brothers’ conjoined twin comedy Stuck On You.

At the time, Luciana was still technically married to Arbello Barroso, with whom she was raising then four-year-old daughter Alexia, but their divorce was finalized in December 2004 — a year before she married the Oscar-winning screenwriter.

Matt and Bozán — who never separate for more than two weeks — went on to welcome three daughters of their own: Isabella, who turns 17 next Sunday; Gia, 14; and Stella, 12.

Hemsworth has three children – 11-year-old daughter India Rose and nine-year-old twin sons Sasha + Tristan – from his 12-year marriage to Poker Face actress Elsa Pataky.

The founder of the Centr app originally met the Spanish 46-year-old in 2010 through their agents.

On Friday, Chris — who normally depends on fitness trainer Luke Zocchi in his native country — enjoyed a jet-lagged workout at rival trainer Grant Roberts’ gym in Los Angeles.

Hemsworth shared a video of him training his Adonis-esque, muscular six-foot-tall physique for the viewing pleasure of his prisoner, amassing 94.5 million followers on social media.

The former soap star will next reprise his role as Tyler Rake, a former SASR operator turned black ops mercenary, in Extraction 2, which premieres June 16 on Netflix.

Chris told GQ in 2014, ‘We became friends around the time I started working, and I’ve really benefited from seeing how he handles himself. Matt is just a normal guy who came up with the movie star thing”
