Speaking with The Independent recently, Liam told the feel-good story of his older brother surprising his parents with a debt-free life. Chris apparently called his father, Craig, and told him to check his bank account, which was no longer in the red.

"[My father] called my brother Chris back and said, 'I don't know how to feel. Since I left home, I have had debts and I thought I'd be paying them off until I died and have this weight hanging over me, and now to have them completely cleared,'" Liam said, according to Fox News. "They are so happy now and able to spend more time with us. I would love to be able to do something for my parents like that."

Aside from making our hearts melt, Chris Hemsworth can next be seen in the epic Ron Howard film, In the Heart of the Sea. It tells the tale that inspired the legendary Herman Melville novel, Moby Dick. Watch a trailer for this movie right here:

Meanwhile, Liam serves as an ambassador for the Australian Childhood Foundation.

"If you want to be a good person who adds to society, you have responsibility," the actor shared. "That is something I take very seriously."
