The hilarious award-winning filmmaker Taika Waititi could not just let his friend Chris Hemsworth celebrate his birthday without a bit of trolling.

In true Waititi fashion, the “Thor: Ragnarok” director wished the God of Thunder himself happy birthday by showing him just how much he loves him in quite a unique way.

“Happy Birthday to my reason for living, @chrishemsworth. There’s no one like you,” Waititi posted on Twitter as he shards a photo of him together with Chris’ younger brother, Liam.

Waititi’s hilarious mix-up inspired fans to also troll Chris as the latter celebrated his 37th birthday on Aug. 11. For one, Twitter user @perolikedique wished the actor happy birthday by sharing a photo of Luke, another Hemsworth.

“I prefer this pic of @chrishemsworth. Happy bday Chris!” the netizen replied, sharing a still from “Thor: Ragnarok” of Luke portraying Thor in a play.
