Chris Hemsworth 'I'm Just Enjoying The Moment

Home is definitely where the heart is for the movie star

Strange as it may seem, there once was a time when Chris Hemsworth wasn’t one of Hollywood’s leading men, wielding Thor’s mighty hammer and smashing box-office records as part of The Avengers. But after a decade of shooting film after film and banking more than he ever dreamed possible, Hemsworth had an epiphany mid-2019, realising he’d reached a point where he could slow down and enjoy the fruits of his labour.

“This year I probably won’t shoot anything,” the 36-year-old actor told The Daily Telegraph. “I just want to be at home now with my kids. They are at a very important age. They are still young and they are aware when I leave more than before.”

Last year was frenetic, with Men in Black: International and Avengers: Endgame so it’s understandable he felt he’d earned time out to live the quiet Byron Bay life with his actress wife, Elsa Pataky, and their three children, 7-year-old daughter India and 6-year-old twin boys, Tristan and Sasha.

“I had a real comedown off the back of the press tour for Avengers,” Hemsworth admitted on TV show Sunrise. “I realised that, for so long I’d been sort of looking to the future and chasing, ‘What next?’ … and then it hit me that, well, this is it. The thing that I’ve worked for and dreamt of doing, and I’ve just got to enjoy this moment.”
