Liam Hemsworth’s fans go wild over his new ‘nose ring’ as he shares a relaxed selfie with his dog in Byron Bay

Hollywood actor Liam Hemsworth has sent fans wild after debuting a new ‘nose ring’ in an Instagram selfie on Tuesday. 

The 31-year-old shared a close-up photo alongside his dog – with fans quick to spot what looked to be a new piercing.  

The actor’s near 13.5million-strong following, however, soon realised it was just his dog’s whisker in the frame of the photo.

Handsome Liam looked sensational in the photo with him basking in the sun at his mansion in Byron Bay. 

The Hunger Games actor showed off his longer than usual tresses and a bit of scruffy facial hair in the photo. 

It comes amid talk from Woman’s Day magazine this month that the star is apparently struggling with a career slowdown.

The magazine claimed Liam has struggled with the lack of scripts crossing his path in his professional life.

‘Liam has been at a bit of a loose end in the past couple of years,’ an anonymous source told the publication.  

‘The movie scripts haven’t exactly been piling up at his door, and his divorce from Miley Cyrus took the wind out of his sails.’

The insider went on to claim that he has become something of a ‘recluse’ in Byron Bay, with it even affecting his relationship with his Thor star brother, Chris.    

‘Liam and Chris have been inseparable throughout their careers, but lately Liam hasn’t seemed to be such a fixture among Chris’ social circle,’ added the source. 

Amid the influx of A-Listers flying into the country, the source also said Liam feels ‘left out’, with his brother Chris, 37, the ‘ringleader’ of the cavalcade of stars.

Liam last had a starring role in the comedy film Isn’t It Romantic?, alongside Australian actress Rebel Wilson, which ran on Netflix to moderate success.  

But the actor is certainly in luck with his personal life, having been dating model Gabriella Brooks for over a year. 

The pair have been dating since December 2019, following Liam’s highly publicised split from his ex-wife Miley Cyrus in August that same year.
