Chris Hemsworth Pictured with Twins on 9th Birthday after Wife Dressed 'Elderly' to Help Him Deal With Alzheimer's Fear

Chris Hemsworth is a devoted family man who loves to spend time with his children. He also cannot get enough of his wife, Elsa Pataky. However, after facing the scariest news about his health, the actor does not want anything to get in between him and being with his family.

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth is loved for his role as "Thor" in the Marvel franchise. However, there's more to him than his good looks and well-played superhero roles.

The actor is also a devoted family man and a layered actor. During an "Ellen Degeneres Show" appearance, Hemsworth spoke about how much he valued his life as a father and husband to his wife, Elsa Pataky.

Looking back at their dating days, Hemsworth said no particular moment told him Pataky was the right one because they made sense from the minute they met.

The actor loved how fun and outgoing she was; he also liked her sense of humor and passionate outlook on life. For Hemsworth, it was interesting to try to keep up with her.

The couple has three children, a daughter named Rose and twin boys Tristan and Sasha. Hemsworth credits his family for keeping him grounded through his life of fame.

Because of them, he has avoided many media traps that he would have fallen for without their guidance. Hemsworth said he tasted those bad choices when he was an upcoming actor on Australian TV.

To show how strong their connection was, Pataky did something special for her husband during an episode of his docuseries "Limitless."

As an exercise to reduce the fear of aging, Pataky transformed herself into an 87-year-old version of herself. She had a wig, wardrobe, and prosthetics to make it look natural.

The exercise was also for Hemsworth to see how his wife would look if they grew old together, but just before the reveal, his wife got nervous about him seeing her life that. "I am not sure I want Chris to see me like this," she said.

Hemsworth kissed his wife when they met and told her she still looked beautiful. The clip even went viral on Tik Tok, and fans praised the actor for being romantic.

"I love how he didn't look at her face. He just watched her eyes to see if he still could find that love in her eyes. And he did," commented one user. Another one said Hemsworth had a beautiful soul.

Chris Hemsworth Celebrates the Twins’ 9th Birthday, Afraid of Losing the Memory of Them

Hemsworth loved being active with his children, and most of his family moments are of his kids enjoying biking, snowboarding, and surfing.

The actor is passionate about fitness and loves for children to grow up playing sports they love. Therefore, Hemsworth spoke about his fitness platform, Centr, which has helped over 6000 kids have access to their favorite sports.

The "Thor" star expressed that playing sports had always been a big part of his life growing up, but his heart has always been connected to surfing despite playing several different sports.

Hemsworth recalled his father taking him and his siblings on a one and half hour ride to the beach to surf, where he was inspired to start his active lifestyle. However, what he valued the most were the memories he created with his family.

Now that he's a father of three, surfing has become part of his identity and one of his favorite ways to build memories with his children. So, it is important to him to give as many children as possible the opportunity to embrace a sport they love.

The actor's twin sons just turned nine, and he shared an adorable picture of his wife slamming one of their son's faces into a chocolate cake for fun. The Hemsworth household knows how to turn everything into a fun activity.

For mother's day, the actor shared a candid picture of his wife in bed with a cup of coffee, and breakfast, surrounded by their three children.

As Hemsworth watched his children grow and develop into independent beings, he confessed, "The idea that I won't be able to remember the life I've experienced or my wife, my kids, this is probably my biggest fear."

What’s Going On with Chris Hemsworth’s Health?

Hemsworth faced the harsh truth of one of his biggest fears possibly becoming a reality. During one of the episodes of "Limitless," the actor underwent genetic testing to find out about his current and future health.

Unfortunately, Hemsworth found that he had two copies of the AP04 gene, meaning he had the highest risk of Alzheimer's disease. But the National Institutes of Health clarified that it is not certain that a person will develop the disease.

After the news was broken to him, Hemsworth said he did not ask too many questions because he did not know where to start. His parents were there, but on the contrary, they had many questions that were not answered.

The actor wished he had a more extensive follow-up but did not know how to wrap his head around everything and whether he had to be concerned.

It was difficult for the actor and his family to deal with the shocking news. He revealed that death had always been a sore topic, so to face it directly was a lot to grapple with because their motto has always been that they will figure it out along the way.

However, the scarier part is that Alzheimer's has affected someone close to Hemsworth, his grandfather, and his family watched his memory deteriorate until he could not remember his children and grandkids.

Nonetheless, Hemsworth is focusing on what he can control, which is his overall health. Instead of dwelling on the negative, he's on a mission to make the best of his life for as long as possible.
