Elsa's Next Move
Women's Health South Africa|March/April 2019

She’s part of one of the hottest A-list couples on earth, but, for Elsa Pataky, the bright lights of Hollywood can’t beat the chilled vibe of Australia. Here, the actor and fitness junkie talks barefoot parenting, fasting with Chris Hemsworth and why she decided to return to a screen near you

Elsa's Next Move
As Elsa Pataky poses on a balcony overlooking Byron Bay’s rolling Australian hinterland, the sea in the distance barely visible through the hazy afternoon heat, our photo-shoot set is suddenly invaded. By a six-year-old. Elsa’s daughter India bundles her for a hug that makes even our seasoned photographer melt. It’s a family affair today, with Elsa’s mom, sister-in-law and cousin (all either visiting from Europe or living nearby) stopping by to see the 42-year-old Spanish actor do her thing. Her filmmaker brother Cristian Medianu is here to capture footage for a new digital project she’s part of (more on that in a moment).

The most obvious person missing? Elsa’s husband – you may have heard of him – Chris Hemsworth. Just a day before, the Avengers star was posing for photos of his own in this same for-hire house (not far from a headline-makingly-huge home being built by the couple, who relocated from LA in 2014). You see, at the same time as Elsa stars in this magazine, Chris is on the cover of Men’s Health, in a world first exclusive reveal of his brand new lifestyle app.

Let us introduce you to Centr (@centrfit), a holistic programme that takes you behind the scenes with Chris and Elsa to deliver their curation of A-list workouts, recipes and wellness inspiration. Here’s a taster: fitness content from celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson (he’s honed the bods of everyone from Jennifer Lopez to the LA Lakers), martial arts and HIIT pro-Tiffiny Hall and Elsa’s own yoga instructor Tahl Rinsky. Then there are the step-by-step meal ideas from Aussie favourite, chef Dan Churchill, plus a heap of expert-led sleep visualisations, motivation tips, mindfulness and mental health features. And the best part about it? The programme is personalised to your goals (weight management? Strength building?), food (vegan? Gluten-free?) and workout tastes.
