Surfer style: The Hunger Games actor channeled his beachside upbringing in Australia with his casual look 

Earlier, the actor endured an embarrassing wetsuit malfunction as he changed beside his black, souped-up Cadillac following a refreshing surf.

The Hunger Games star was towel-drying himself when he accidentally flashed a little too much flesh.

Peeling down his black skins, the soap star-turned-Hollywood A-lister was trying to ensure he dried every inch of his taut body - including his bare backside. 

He gave onlookers a glimpse of his tan lines before he quickly pulled a white T-shirt on to cover his modesty.

Liam appeared relaxed as he enjoyed some downtime in the fresh air, also flashing his bulging biceps and his ripped back muscles in the process.
