Elsa Pataky - ‘I Get What I Want'

The Spanish Beauty Tells Ok! How She Isn’t Afraid To Use Her Sexuality

- Penelope Kilby

As Adrielle Cuthbert, Elsa Pataky plays her steamiest role yet. And to make it all the more exciting, Tidelands is the 42-year-old’s big return to the acting world, having put her career on hold to raise her three children – India, six, and twins Sasha and Tristan, four – whom she shares with heart-throb hubby Chris Hemsworth, 35. The family of five reside in idyllic Byron Bay, a stone’s throw from where Elsa filmed Australia’s very first Netflix original about sexy sirens and drug traffickers.

Ever wondered what Chris thinks of her racy sex scenes? Or whether she gets jealous watching her husband on-screen with some of Hollywood’s sexiest leading ladies?

Here, OK! sits down with Elsa – and let’s just say, she doesn’t hold back!

Congrats on the success of Tidelands! Now that you’ve made your long-awaited return to our screens, can we expect more roles from you Down Under?

Of course! I would love to keep working here close to home and not have to take my kids anywhere in the world. This is home for me.

The show’s been given rave reviews – please tell us there will be a second season!

I hope so!

It’s safe to say that Tidelands is not The Little Mermaid…

Definitely! There’s no tails, no scales, which are musts for mermaids, but it makes it more interesting, because it was different, because we haven’t seen something like that.
