Rita Ora’s husband Taika Waititi had a rather tone-deaf choice of apparel for Chris Hemsworth’s star-studded birthday bash.

While mingling with top-tier celebrities, the 49-year-old New Zealand director sported a ‘Working Class Hero’ T-shirt, making a rather unconventional statement given the opulent environment.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Taika, who is reportedly worth $13 million, enjoyed the sunny weather in Ibiza in the company of Matt Damon and Chris Hemsworth’s brother, Liam Hemsworth, as they commemorated the Australian actor’s 42nd birthday aboard a yacht.

The filmmaker was joined by his wife, Rita Ora, 34, who Celebrity Net Worth estimates has a net worth of $30 million.

Taika and Chris’s friendship was established prior to their collaboration on the 2017 movie Thor: Ragnarok. They chose to keep this connection unnoticed by Marvel executives until the What We Do In The Shadows star was appointed director of the film.

In Tara Bennett and Paul Terry’s book, The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as reported by Insider, he disclosed, ‘We decided not to disclose our friendship to the execs as I didn’t want to land the job purely because of my friend. It would have been awkward for him.’

‘However, we frequently discussed ideas to make it more entertaining and irreverent. Our goal was to evolve the character to reflect Chris’s humor, extracting his comedic talent and sense of fun as an actor,’ he explained.

The creative duo joined forces again for the 2022 sequel, Thor: Love and Thunder.

While Taika is now an Oscar-winning director mingling with the rich and famous, he endured poverty as a child. 

The son of an artist and school teacher, the filmmaker recalled being ‘very poor’ while being raised by his single mother, he told Stuff in 2019.

Growing up, Taika mainly lived with his mother—’a single mom juggling around three jobs’—after she separated from his father, who the director described as an artist and a founder of a bike gang.

His father passed four years prior to the interview.  

‘Our big dream was to have a microwave,’ Taika told the outlet. 

Things have certainly changed since then for Taika, as he is now a critically-acclaimed filmmaker with an Oscar under his belt for Best Adapted Screenplay for Jojo Rabbit. 

And he’s also married to the glamorous Rita Ora.

Considering the A-list guest list and luxurious surrounding, the ‘Working Class Hero’ shirt was an interesting choice

The couple wed in 2022, and the songstress previously credited their strong friendship as they key component to their romantic relationship.

She told Hunger Magazine earlier this year: ‘Taika and I are basically just best friends and we wanted to just live in that element for ever, I guess.’

The couple wed in a secret ceremony in August 2022, after Rita bucked tradition and popped the question.  

Their low-key Los Angeles ceremony wasn’t confirmed by the couple until a year later, which Rita told Grazia they ‘winged with zero planning’.

After years of not being in the right relationship during her ‘messy twenties’, Rita said that when she got together with Taika it felt ‘right and safe’.

Reflecting on her past, she told the publication last year: ‘My love life has been colourful, to say the least. But how wicked is it that we can make those choices for ourselves?.

She added: I was groggy all the time [during her twenties]. I wanted to feel awake and that my brain was switched on.

Rita continued: ‘What makes me go ‘urgh’ is when people pour so much responsibility into somebody else to make themselves feel how they want to feel.

‘That’s a disaster, a car crash. You’ll always be unsatisfied, I was that person.’

Rita and Taika started dating in March 2021, before going public with their romance that August. Prior to their romantic relationship, Rita and Taika were close friends for five years.
