Dashing: Chris Hemsworth cut a heroic figure as he showed off his horsemanship skills on The Huntsman set in London on Monday
This time last week he was soaking up the sun on a romantic Italian getaway with wife Elsa Pataky.
But Australian hunk Chris Hemsworth was back at work on Monday, showing off his impressive horse riding skills on the UK set of The Huntsman.
The 31-year-old actor cut a dashing figure as he was snapped in full leather attire riding on the back of a beautiful black horse in a forest on the outskirts of London.

Gripping the reins, the star look relaxed in the saddle as the horse cantered through the leafy woodlands.
The Thor star revealed his powerful shoulders in the tight, medieval armour with a large axe strung around his back.
But while Chris appeared to be filming solo shots in the woods, it looked as though others on set were prepping for a large battle scene.
Nearby a large area of burnt grass was visible as broken horse carriages and pieces are armour lay strewn across the ground.

The movie - based on German fairy tale Snow White by the Brothers Grimm - is the prequel to Snow White And The Huntsman, which Chris also starred in alongside Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron.
Controversy swirled around the production, after Kristen, who was dating Robert Pattinson at the time, was caught in a tryst with film-maker Rupert, who was then married to Liberty Ross.
But while neither Kristen nor Rupert have returned for the spin-off movie, Charlize will again star as Queen Ravenna alongside new cast members Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt and Nick Frost.
Frenchman Cedric Nicolas-Troyan is directing the prequel with The Huntsman is scheduled to hit cinemas on April 22, 2016.

While Chris was busy shooting the film, his wife Elsa wowed on the red carpet at the ELLE Gourmet Awards 2015 in Madrid, Spain.
And the 38-year-old actress certainly turned heads as she returned to her native city, flashing a glimpse of her underwear in a sexy, semi-sheer torn dress.
Earlier in the day, the actress made the most of her time back home and visited her mother Cristina Medianu with her daughter, India Rose.

Elsa and Chris, who have three children, are now permanently based in Australia after the couple bought a property in Byron Bay in 2014.
Busy Chris is set to star in upcoming fantasy movie, Thor: Ragnarok, which is slated for release on November 3.
Earlier this year, Hemsworth told GQ Australia that he much prefers living down under.
'We were in LA for six or seven years and then once we got the opportunity not to be there full-time, it was good to get back to Australia,' he said.
'And it's great. Quiet, coastal town - [it] couldn't be further from Hollywood, which is nice. A nice break.'
