Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth shared that his children show little interest in his worldwide fame, particularly his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Speaking from London in February, Hemsworth discussed how his three children—India Rose Hemsworth, 13, and twins Sasha and Tristan Hemsworth, 11—react to his celebrity status.
Children’s Indifference to Father’s Celebrity
Despite Hemsworth’s high-profile career, his kids remain unfazed by his stardom. Initially, they were intrigued to discover he portrayed the superhero Thor, but their curiosity quickly faded after realizing he couldn’t perform the character’s legendary feats, such as flying. Hemsworth explained that their excitement diminished sharply once the fantasy element was clarified.
They don’t care. They don’t care at all…I reckon when they first realised I was Thor, they thought it was really cool…And then they realised they couldn’t fly and they thought it was less cool,
Hemsworth told People magazine.
Now they’re just like, ‘ah, Dad, whatever’…Teenagers,
he added.
Recent Projects and Family Life
In addition to sharing his family experiences, Hemsworth recently appeared in the film Crime 101, which was released on February 13. Directed by Bart Layton, the movie also stars Monica Barbaro, Barry Keoghan, and Halle Berry. Meanwhile, Hemsworth balances his career with raising his children alongside his wife, actress Elsa Pataky.
What This Means for Hemsworth’s Public and Private Roles
The casual attitude of Hemsworth’s children toward his fame highlights the normalizing effect family life can have on celebrity status. Their indifference suggests that, despite his global recognition, Hemsworth’s role as a father is more influential within his household than his on-screen persona. Going forward, this dynamic might keep his family grounded amid a high-profile lifestyle.
