A clip of Chris Hemsworth spinning around on a chair and flashing his teeth is the sort of thing that usually causes pandemonium in your mum's group chat - but his latest video sadly didn't have the same effect.
Most of us are used to seeing Hemsworth sport his Hollywood smile, so the fact that he appeared to have a dodgy set of gnashers of various shapes and sizes came as quite a shock to his fans.
Take a look:
Hemsworth was actually being fitted for false teeth - among other prosthetics - for his role in George Miller's upcoming Mad Max prequel, which is finally hitting cinemas in just two days time.

The Thor star will feature alongside Anya Taylor-Joy, Tom Burke, former WWE star Nathan Jones, Angus Sampson, Daniel Webber and Lachy Hulme in the action movie which delves into the origin story of renegade warrior Furiosa.
Hemsworth is taking on the role of Dementus, a character who the actor has described as a 'pretty horrible individual', in the film titled Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
He recently revealed that undergoing a physical transformation to become Dementus has helped him 'get out of the way' of himself while shooting the flick.
Hemsworth told MovieMaker: "The nose, the beard, the kind of wig, all the prosthetics and the costume, everything was just, look - any of that helps you get out the way of yourself.

"The more you can cut loose of yourself and be completely taken on a journey through what the hair and makeup, costume, the sets, have to offer — it makes your job so much easier.
"Look at these costumes, look at these sets. We just gotta not screw up our lines now and not get in the way of it all.
"So it was like an another prop, all of it. And when I would look in the mirror, I’d go, 'I don’t see myself anymore. This is a great thing'.
"So then you start to think differently, start reacting differently, and there’s a knock on effect to that."

To play this 'layered' character with tyrannical tendencies, Hemsworth has relied on a bit of the old behind-the-scenes movie magic to help bring his version of Dementus to life.
In the video uploaded to his Instagram account, the Rush star was heard telling a someone off camera: "No, they're way too big! I can't speak. They don't really fit...just falling off and stuff."
Thank god Hemsworth said it himself, eh?

He captioned the post: "Early stage makeup tests for Dr Dementus were a lotta fun #MADMAXFURIOSA."
People couldn't believe the difference the small tweaks to aspects of Hemsworth's appearance had made, with one person saying: "Wow, how teeth impact a person’s appearance and personality lol."
A second fan wrote: "Still a looker with those bunny chompers."
A third added: "It's AMAZING how different you look with just the bigger teeth!! So crazy!!"

A fourth admitted: "It took me way too long to realise he had fake teeth in. I could not figure out WHY he did not look like himself. He needs to practice talking with them in tho."
While a fifth chimed in: "He even looks sexy like this!"
