Chris Hemsworth has shared his appreciation for wife Elsa Pataky and credited the Spanish model and actress for his success both personally and professionally.
The Thor actor, 39, married Pataky in 2010 and together they share an 11-year-old daughter, India, and nine-year-old twin sons, Tristan and Sasha.
Opening up about his relationship with 46-year-old Pataky, he told British GQ that one of the reasons they work so well together is that they both have the desire to “have a good time, to laugh and be involved in new adventures”.
He also confessed that he would not have achieved the level of success that he has without her.
“Her sacrifice, commitment, work, support, forgiveness — everything that she has given me over the years has been incredible. I couldn’t have done any of the things I’ve done without it,” he said.
He went on to add that his life has moved “so fast”, before recalling a point in their marriage where he ultimately felt closer to his wife.
“We were having kids [at] the same time my career was taking off, same time we were getting married, same time we were getting to know each other,” he said.
“It feels like we got to know each other halfway through our relationship, five, six years ago. In a beautiful way.
“Once our kids were out of nappies, things became a bit more manageable.”
After going through a period of wanting to focus on his career out of fear that it could all disappear, he suddenly had an epiphany while filming 2022 TV series Limitless with Chris Hemsworth and his priorities shifted.
“All of these beautiful moments were rapidly flying past me,” Hemsowrth said. “It made me just kind of want to wrap that show and get back and see my family. And I did.”
