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
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.
