Chris Hemsworth, 35, couldn't resist poking fun at his best friend Matt Damon during an interview on The Project on Monday.

Sitting down with Peter Helliar, the Thor star was asked if American actor Matt, 48, qualified for dual citizenship yet.

'I tried to marry him and it was immediately squashed,' joked Chris.

'Don't really want him there [in Australia]. Kind of steals a little bit of the limelight.'

Chris then joked about using Matt's name to get into restaurants, claiming no one recognises him when he uses his own name.

He said using Matt's name gets him 'straight in' when making restaurant reservations.

Calling Australia home: Chris was asked if his close friendship with Matt Damon had landed the Jason Bourne star dual citizenship with Australia. Pictured together in January 2018

'I tried to marry him and it was immediately squashed,' joked Chris. 'Don't really want him there [in Australia]. Kind of steals a little bit of the limelight'

The two actors and their families share a close friendship, with Matt regularly visiting the Aussie heartthrob at his home in Byron Bay, often for months at a time.

In an interview with Today Extra in June last year, Chris confessed Matt was even considering a more permanent move to Australia.

'He [Matt] was in love with this country and wanted to come for a holiday,' Chris said at the time.

Weighing in: Chris also spoke about having to don a fat suit in Avengers: Endgame. Pictured left on set, and right in another scene from the movie

'And that holiday got longer and longer and they [Matt's family] have been here a few months now and I'm loving it.'

During his appearance on The Project, Chris also spoke about having to don a fat suit in Avengers: Endgame.

'It was a silicon suit, and it weighed literally 40 kilos or something. And it was the middle of summer in Atlanta, and horrendously hot, but it just added to the schloth-like nature of the character,' he revealed.
