After promoting his new film, Independence Day: Resurgence, on Monday’s episode of The Tonight Show, Liam Hemsworth was ready to have a little fun. The 26-year-old actor joined Jimmy Fallon for a round of “Slip and Flip” — a game that puts a summertime twist on Flip Cup — and showed that his action star moves can come in handy in real life.
It looked like it could be a runaway victory, but Fallon was a tougher opponent than expected. The host gained a late lead as Hemsworth struggled to flip his fourth cup. “I’m getting too drunk,” he explained.
Luckily, with a majestic final dive across the slip and slide, Hemsworth was able to make a last-second comeback.
