The first Sunday of September sees Australians all over the nation posting pictures of their patriarch for Father's Day, so it's only fitting that Chris Hemsworth paid Instagram homage to his own dad with a throw back to rival all throw backs.

The snap shows Pappa Hemsworth as a paragon of "Aussie dad," with the chiselled good looks of his famous Asgardian son. Understandably the posts' comment section erupted with thirsty appreciation for the father of four who, arguably, is a pretty a hot dad.

Happy Father's Day dad! Thanks for taking me surfing every weekend and driving me to football training and athletics training and to friends houses and anywhere and everywhere and for loving mum and us kids so much. Love u #fathersday #legend

Comments ranged from "OMG like father like son!" to "I can see where you boys get half of your good looks 😜 lol," to the more subdued, but no less lustful "Love ❤ the short shorts on your Dad."

Turns out it's just the latest event in series of Hemsworth-elated incidents that have left commentators asking "Is the dad of the Hemsworth brothers hot?"

Thank you universe, for gifting us generations of Hemsworths whose rugged archetypical Australian handsomeness will provide many an outsider with the proof that Aussies really are more attractive than everyone else.
