What a great idea.

Chris Hemsworth is showing how much of a hero he is with his latest Instagram post.

The Thor actor has decided to jump on a new social media trend which aims to highlight the enormous amount of children suffering from violence, in a bid to combat the situation.

It’s called the “polished man” trend and sees men painting one fingernail for a whole month to symbolise that one in five children suffer from abuse or violence before the age of 18.

Along with the picture of his painted fingernail he said:

“I just signed up to the @YGAP@polishedman campaign! One in five children fall victim to physical and/or sexual violence, before they turn 18. That’s one too many.

For the month of October, I’ll be painting one nail to represent this statistic and raise awareness and funds to end violence against children. Sign up today at www.polishedman.com and donate !#polishedman
