It follows actors Chris Hemsworth and co-star Taika Waititi speaking about the “love story” of their friendship, last month, which began when they hung out together, with their children. And, yesterday, Essendon Football Club player Sam Draper was celebrated after he kissed teammate Matt Guelfi on the pitch at the Gabba, after their team beat Brisbane in an unexpected upset on the weekend.
