Matt Damon nearly went overboard while holding onto his beer as he stepped onto a dinghy during a lively outing in Ibiza for his friend Chris Hemsworth’s birthday.

Fortunately, the Oscar winner, 54, was assisted by a friend who helped keep him steady, preventing him from falling into the Mediterranean Ocean fully clothed.

As the near-incident unfolded, Liam Hemsworth, 35, watched with a smile from the dock as the Good Will Hunting star scrambled to safely return to the boat.

The Lonely Planet star looked buff in a white tank top, which showcased his muscular arms, and a pair of black shorts.  

Damon was dressed in a black golf shirt and a pair tan khakis for his outing at Casa Jondal.

The Instigators star and his famous friends were celebrating Chris’ 42nd birthday and brought plenty of liquid refreshment to let the good times roll.

Among the party goers were Chris’s supermodel wife Elsa Pataky, along with Rita Ora and her husband Taika Waititi.

Waititi raised eyebrows with his seemingly tone-deaf t-shirt, which read: ‘Working class hero.’

His shirt made a rather unusual statement considering the luxurious setting.

Taika, who Celebrity Net Worth reports has a net worth of $13 million, basked in the Ibiza sun as he rubbed elbows with A-listers including Chris, Matt Damon, and Chris’ brother Liam Hemsworth.

The filmmaker was joined by his wife, Rita Ora, 34, who also reportedly has a net worth of $30 million.

Taika has clearly remained friends with the birthday boy since directing him in Thor: Raganarok and Thor: Love and Thunder.

Meanwhile, Ora, 34, showcased her shapely form in a plumb toned bikini top with some see sheer white and gold leggings, with a leather belt at her hips. 

Her reddish brown locks were styled in loose waves and she accessorized with a turquoise pendant on a long silver chain and thick hoop earrings. 

Luckily, the Oscar winner, 54, was steadied by a friend who helped him stay afloat as he narrowly avoided falling into the Mediterranean Ocean fully clothed

Damon’s wife, Luciana Barroso, 49, flaunted her toned tummy in a black bikini top with a pair of low waist white linen pants.

Her long, dark locks were styled straight,  and she wore a white Panama hat to protect her face from the sun’s strong rays. 

Last month, for Pataky’s 43rd birthday, they partied on a yacht in Ibiza, Spain too. 

The two actors and their families share a close friendship, with Damon and Barroso regularly visiting the Hemsworths in Byron Bay, a popular tourist town on the Australian east coast.

In an interview with Today Extra in June last year, Chris revealed how Damon instantly fell in love with Australia. 

‘He was in love with this country and wanted to come for a holiday,’ Chris said at the time.

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

In the past, Matt has been forced to deny rumors that he and Luciana are moving Down Under permanently. 

In March last year, Page Six reported that the Bourne Identity star wanted to move his family to Australia because he opposed Donald Trump’s presidency.

A source told the gossip column: ‘Matt is telling friends and colleagues in Hollywood that he’s moving the family to Australia for a year.’

However, the actor’s representative later denied this, telling the Associated Press: ‘He’s not moving out of the U.S.’
