Chris Hemsworth Confesses His Movie Career Strained Actor's Family Life
Australian actor Chris Hemsworth has revealed how he juggles between his work and personal life.
During an interview with GQ Australia, the 34-year-old actor credited his wife, Spanish model/actress Elsa Pataky, for his happy family life. He said: "My wife and I fell in love, had kids, and didn't really see each other for a few years, then fell back in love. In terms of work, [Elsa has] certainly given up more than I have."
"She'd like me to step back and be at home with the kids more, and of course, I want that too. But I feel like I'm at this crucial point in my career - I've just got to set up for longevity or I'll slip off."
Hemsworth and Pataky first met in 2010 after being introduced by talent agent William Ward. They tied the knot the same year in December.
Adding on, the "Thor" actor admitted the couple do take a break from their three children - India, 5, and 3-year-old twin boys Tristan and Sasha. He shared: "Once you have children, every instinct and every moment of your time is consumed by that. You've got nothing for each other."
"So, make sure you have date night even if it's once in a blue moon, because most of the time you're just too tired and you'd actually prefer to sleep," he added. "There's no shortage of how much I tell her I love her. But I guess there's no detail in it, why or how."
In 2016, Hemsworth was hit by reports that his marriage is on the rocks. Woman's Day reported that he and Pataky are leading separate lives.
He took to his Instagram account and shared a picture with Pataky. He wrote: "Looking for a new wife according to @womansdayaus and other misleading outlets! Honey you still love me right?! @elsapatakyconfidential#thanksfortheheadsup"
