Luke Hemsworth steps in for younger brother in Tourism Australia ad

Luke Hemsworth takes over in the latest ad for Tourism Australia–and it’s hilarious.
Luke Hemsworth of Westworld is the latest Hemsworth brother to join the Crocodile Dundee trailer spoof that is in reality masked as a Tourism Australia ad. We all remember when we saw the original spoof with Chris Hemsworth and got so excited that the Australian native was finally doing this iconic franchise from his home country.
But alas, it was just a joke but it made for a hilarious ad that had us all invested from the get-go. Last month, Luke Hemsworth stepped in for his brother in an extension of Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home. The ad explores the set of the supposed film as Luke Hemsworth drives around in a golf cart dressed up in khaki gear.
In the ad, Luke Hemsworth has a cut-out of Chris Hemsworth as he drives around beautiful Australia introducing viewers to this beautiful country for the Tourism agency. During an interview with PEOPLE, Hemsworth spoke about where first-time visitors should go upon going to Australia.
"“I think the number one thing you have to go see is Uluru (a massive sandstone monolith located in Australia’s Red Centre). Once you’ve done that in the center of Australia and once you’ve gotten dirtied by red gusts, go wash off in the oceans and go surfing. You can’t go to Australia and not go surfing. And drink red wine or beer!”"
He was thrilled to join the campaign as a Melbourne native and naturally, the country holds a special place in his heart. Naturally, we are all curious if these commercials could potentially mean an actual Crocodile Dundee movie in future with the Hemsworth brothers. Luke Hemsworth is on board with it–as long as he can be in it too!
