Chris Hemsworth will wear nail polish for one month for the most adorable reason

He may come across as a manly superhero on screen but it turns out Chris Hemsworth is just a softy at heart.

The Hollywood hunk may have already been our celebrity crush but now the Aussie actor is officially our hero, after he painted his nails for charity.

The 33-year-old Thor actor showed his support for a worthy cause and painted one of his nails to raise awareness about child abuse.

Hemsworth then posted a picture of his nail to Instagram, alongside the caption: "I just signed up to the @YGAP @polishedman campaign! One in five children fall victim to physical and/or sexual violence, before they turn 18.

"That’s one too many. For the month of October, I’ll be painting one nail to represent this statistic and raise awareness and funds to end violence against children. Sign up today at www.polishedman.com and donate !#polishedman"

The “Polished Man” campaign runs throughout October and you can participate and/or donate online to the cause.

Last year, Hemsworth revealed that his four-year-old daughter, India, is a beautician in training and loves nothing better than painting her dad and her uncle Liam Hemsworth's nails.

"We just paint each other's nails…Nah we didn't", he revealed on the Jimmy Fallon Show.

"My daughter and my neices paint everybody's nails, so I actually had mine painted too.

"That's what happens when you get a bunch of young girls together, they put lipstick on you and paint your nails".
