Chris Hemsworth expertly shut down marriage trouble rumours with this Instagram post

Chris Hemsworth and his actress wife Elsa Pataky were the subject of 'marriage trouble' speculation in an Australian news outlet recently.

There are generally two ways that celebrities like to address rumours about their private life. One way is to issue a statement through their spokesperson to firmly deny the rumour. The other is to remain silent on the matter and hope it goes away. Then there's Chris Hemsworth's way, which is to tag the offending publication in an Instagram post and make them look very silly.

An Australian news outlet suggested that Pataky had moved back to her native Spain with the couple's three children after Hemsworth was spotted without his wife at the AFL Grand Final. We know, imagine going to an event without your partner?

However, the rumoured split was news to the couple themselves and they expertly trolled the offending magazine on Hemsworth's Instagram page overnight.

Well played, folks. Well played.
