Elsa's SECRET PAST

THE ACTRESS HAD A WHOLE OTHER LIFE BEFORE SETTLING DOWN WITH CHRIS HEMSWORTH

She’s been half of one of Australia’s most talked-about couples for over a decade, but before Elsa Pataky fell for our hunky Chris Hemsworth, the Spanish actress had a different life. Pataky had a three-year romance with actor Adrien Brody in the late 2000s, shocking fans when reports of the past relationship recently surfaced again online. “I had no idea they were once a couple! He’s so handsome!” one fan wrote. “That’s wild … I had NO idea. I had never heard of her before she married Chris,” said another.

Although it ended over a decade ago, with Pataky tying the knot with Hemsworth the next year, the actress’ romance with Brody is intriguing nonetheless. The pair met in 2006 and quickly became one of the hottest couples on the red carpet. “The first time I saw Elsa I was completely spellbound,” Brody, now 48, said in an interview with Hello! magazine during their relationship. “Have I told you she’s the love of my life? I say it every day.”
