He sent fans into a frenzy this week when he filmed scenes for Hollywood blockbuster Thor: Ragnarok on the streets of Brisbane.

The 33-year-old actor was snapped at the centre of a large crowd, holding a Domino's pizza box.

And the crowd couldn't believe their luck at being up close and personal with the handsome actor, whose hair appeared to be styled in the signature Thor-style, as he handed out the slices.

The father-of-three cut a casual figure in a navy blue hooded jumper as he made sure to sign a few autographs.

The masterminds behind the Marvel franchise transformed Brisbane into New York City for the past three days as the cast and crew of the film descended on the Queensland capital.

They will now return to the set on the Gold Coast, where they have been filming the third instalment of the franchise since early July.

And greeting fans with pizza isn't the only thing Chris has gone out of his way to do while on home soil.

He visited the Lady Cilento Children's Hospital on Tuesday with co-star Tom Hiddleston, where they met around 80 youngsters and their families.

Chris brought along his character's trademark hammer Mjolnir and Tom donned his full Loki costume and a long black wig. 

They happily posed for pictures with the delighted children and one 11-year-old patient got the chance to interview the Hollywood stars for Juiced TV.

Koen Weir asked the actors: 'What is it like getting to be a superhero or supervillain?'

Chris told him: 'Well it’s very cool, especially when I face this supervillain.

Thumbs up! Tom and Chris were also interviewed for the hospital's own TV station, Juiced

'He’s very mischievous and he’s got lots of tricks up his sleeve so you’ve got to watch him. He’s a bit shifty.'

Tom then chimed in, saying: 'We’re brothers, not in real life obviously.'

Chris also told the young boy: 'Do you need a hand? We’ve got your back if you do.'

The actor later posted a shot of one young patient jokingly hitting Tom over the head with his hammer. 

Delight: It was clear the young patients at Lady Cilento Children's Hospital enjoyed the surprise visit

'Met the real superheroes of the world at @ladycilentochildrenshospital,' Chris wrote.

'A huge shout out to all the brave kids who are an inspiration to all of us! @twhiddleston #madepossiblebychf #ladycilentochildrenshospital #juicedtv.'

And proving it wasn't a one-off occasion, he visited another children's hospital in Brisbane later in the week, appearing in photos shared by Channel Nine's The Today Show.

The new photos show the former Home And Away star with his natural, cropped hair and rugged beard, posing in a grey sweater with some young patients and their families.
