The trio was photographed cuddling outdoors at Waititi's home in Sydney, Australia, as they sat in front of a small table of drinks. In several shots, first shared by The Daily Mail, Waititi — who is directing Thompson, 37, in Thor: Love and Thunder — was seen laughing with the actress and Ora. Thompson and Ora were seated on either side of Waititi, shown locking lips with one another as they leaned over the filmmaker. Other shots showed them getting close with Waititi as he had an arm around each of them. Waititi spoke to The Sydney Morning Herald about the intimate photos last month, saying he was "not really" upset when the shots went viral. "I think in the world of the internet, everything goes away pretty quick," he said. "And also, 'Is it that big a deal?' No, not really. I was doing nothing wrong. It's fine."
