It looks like Matt Damon and Chris Hemsworth are on another vacation together again. The long-time famous friends were spotted touching down earlier this week in Sydney, Australia, arriving on a private jet.
Damon was spotted exiting the jet with his wife Luciana Barroso, who he has been vacationing with this summer, spending time in Europe last month, at one point meeting up in Copenhagen with Bradley Cooper .
Hemsworth's friend and personal trainer, Luke Zocchi, and his brother-in-law, filmmaker Christian Prieto, were also aboard the plane. Elsa Pataky did not appear to be with the group but could have already been in the country, considering the couple lives in Byron Bay.
They went their separate ways but met back up later for a late evening meal at Totti's in Bondi Beach.
"Bad luck" in Australia
The group has vacationed in Australia together in the past, but Damon has joked that it's "bad luck" whenever they go there.
In a 2017 interview with Ellen DeGeneres , he explained, “I stepped on a snake the last time I was there — an eight-foot python. “I was getting out of a car — that’s how many things in Australia are crazy — in a neighborhood that was bordering an area with trees going down to the beach. We were going to the beach, and we were going to hike down this little trail, and I got out of the car, and I stepped on something that felt like a giant piece of wood," he said. Another time they went, "My daughter Stella got stung by a jellyfish," the Bourne Identity star explained.
Pataky revealed that the group met thanks to mutual friends, who introduced them after learning that Hemsworth was a fan of Damon. “Chris has been a big fan of Matt Damon, me too, and then when I met his wife, I’m even more of a fan of his wife,” Pataky said in an interview with PEOPLE.
“They are such amazing people. We have three kids, they have four kids, so we ended up making the same plans because everything we do with our kids, so it’s easier to do things with people that understand you," she added.
Earlier this year, in March, they showed just how close they are when Hemsworth got a tattoo before the Academy Awards. He hilariously held Damon's hand for support in an Instagram post by the tattoo artist Corina Weikl.
