Chris Hemsworth recently attended the premiere of his latest film, *Crime 101*, held at the United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles. During this notable event on 10 February, the accomplished actor shared insights into his family life and how his three children perceive his career in the spotlight.
Hemsworth, who is married to Spanish actress Elsa Pataky, is a father to India Rose, 13, and 11-year-old twin boys, Sasha and Tristan Hemsworth. When asked by *PEOPLE* about whether his status as a global movie star earns him any “cool points” with his children, he jokingly confessed that they are unfazed by his celebrity. “They don’t care. They don’t care at all,” he remarked with a chuckle.
It seems that the initial excitement his children felt when they discovered their father played Thor has faded over time. “When they first realised I was Thor, they thought it was really cool,” Hemsworth explained. However, that admiration took a turn when they understood the fictional nature of his powers. “And then they realised they couldn’t fly and they thought it was less cool,” he added. Nowadays, he reveals, the reaction he receives is more subdued: “Now they’re just like, ‘ah, Dad, whatever,’” a reflection on their teenage attitudes.
The family resides in Byron Bay, a picturesque surf town located just south of Australia’s Gold Coast. They made the move from the United States back in 2015, opting for a lifestyle that reflects their love for the ocean and nature. This setting appears to be ideal for Hemsworth, who has spoken about his fondness for maintaining a balanced family life amidst a busy career.
At the *Crime 101* premiere, Hemsworth appeared alongside his co-star Halle Berry, who plays an insurance broker in the film. Hemsworth takes on the role of Mike Davis, a jewel thief entangled in a high-stakes heist amid mounting pressure from an unyielding detective. The film, adapted from a novella by Don Winslow, also features an impressive cast including Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte.
In addition to discussing his family, Hemsworth also shared a light-hearted anecdote regarding his tendency to ‘borrow’ props from his film sets. Reflecting on his time working on *Snow White and the Huntsman*, he confessed, “I took the axe.” He continued to detail his playful tendencies by mentioning some iconic items from his role as Thor, stating, “With Thor, I’ve taken hammers and I took Stormbreaker.” However, he lamented his desire to take a vintage ’69 Camaro back to Australia, joking that the steering wheel would be a logistical problem.
As *Crime 101* hits theatres now, audiences can look forward to witnessing the dynamic chemistry between Hemsworth and Berry on screen. Their characters form an unlikely partnership, facing intense challenges as they navigate the dangerous world of crime.
With a newly released film and a vibrant home life in Byron Bay, Chris Hemsworth continues to juggle his responsibilities as a dedicated father and sought-after actor. Though his kids may not be enthralled by his fame in the same way fans are, it appears that family remains a priority for Hemsworth as he forges ahead in his multifaceted career.
As he continues to engage with his roles and interviews, there’s no denying that Chris Hemsworth’s charm and humour will keep entertaining fans both on and off screen. Being a father to three young children may be a tough crowd to impress, but it seems he is winning at parenting all the same.
