Chris Hemsworth Slams Reports He Hired Water Trucks for Garden Amid Australia Drought

Chris Hemsworth is slamming reports about him amid the bushfire and drought crisis in Australia.

It was recently reported that the 36-year-old actor and wife Elsa Pataky had hired “a fleet of water trucks” to water their “$1 million garden” at their Australia home amid the drought crisis.

Chris has now taken to Instagram to slam the reports, saying that the water truck was for “drinking water.”

“This is a complete lie. Normally I wouldn’t respond to false articles like this but it bothers me a lot,” Chris wrote. “The water truck was purely for drinking water because like everyone in the region who is not connected to town water we have run out of potable water due to the drought.”

Chris continued: “NONE of my garden is fed by drinking water. Thanks for your concern #dailymail and thanks for adding more distress to an already brutal situation the whole country is dealing with. Merry Xmas.”
