Chris Hemsworth is looking back at his start in acting which began with a "beautiful wig."

On Thursday, the actor, 38, shared an Instagram throwback photo of himself wearing a red wig on his first set. IMDb lists his first acting credit as the 2002 series Guinevere Jones.

"Throw back Thursday to my first ever gig," he wrote in the caption. "When I first put this beautiful wig on I knew one of two things would happen, I'd be forced to grow my hair out and dye it red due to massive public fan fare or I'd never work again."

He added, "Neither was true. Life's funny that way."
