Over the last several years, Chris Hemsworth has become a massive movie star. Mostly known for a single role, Hemsworth has become completely beloved due to his performances as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Thor.As a result of Hemsworth's celebrated portrayal of that Marvel superhero, it seems all but certain that he will go down in Hollywood history. However, based on what Hemsworth has said in the past, there is something else that matters a lot more to him.When Hemsworth isn't busy being paid a fortune to portray Thor or spending his time on red carpets, he appears to be a loving family man. A father of three, Hemsworth and his fascinating wife Elsa Pataky have welcomed three children into the world.Linked to Pataky who is famous in her own right for many years now, Hemsworth seems very happy with his wife. In a surprising twist, even though Hemsworth and Pataky are both movie stars, they avoided the trappings of the typical Hollywood wedding.
The Truth About Chris Hemsworth And Elsa Pataky's Marriage
From the outside looking in, famous actors like Chris Hemsworth seem incredibly fortunate and there is some truth to that. However, there have been lots of movie stars who've spoken about regretting spending so much time away from their families.
Based on what is known about Hemsworth, it seems likely he won't have those kinds of regrets despite spending a lot of time on movie sets. After all, Hemsworth seems to really prioritize his wife and kids.
Instead of opting to live in the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles to advance his career, Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky moved their family to Melbourne. On top of that, when Hemsworth agreed to star in Thor: Love and Thunder, he got his kids roles in the movie.
Clearly, Hemsworth and Pataky love their daughter who was born in 2012, and their twin boys who he welcomed into the world in 2014. Unsurprisingly, Hemsworth has also made it clear that he adores his longtime wife. In fact, Hemsworth has said he experienced love at first sight.
However, reality isn't a fairytale and in 2020, Pataky spoke to the Australian magazine body+soul about the public's perception that she and Hemsworth are the perfect couple. During the resulting conversation, Pataky revealed her "relationship is constant work".
"It's funny that people think of us as a perfect couple. No way. It’s been ups and downs, and we still keep working at the relationship."
Later in the same interview, Pataky bristled at the idea that anyone would think that marriage is "easy". However, Pataky revealed one of the keys to her marital success. "I always try to see the positives of things."
What Made Chris Hemsworth And Elsa Pataky's Wedding So Different?
Thanks to shows like Cribs and Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, lots of celebrities have shown off the incredible ways they live on television.
Given that a lot of celebrities enjoy showing off their riches, it makes sense that many of them have insanely expensive weddings when they tie the knot. In fact, some stars spend a lot more money on their weddings than most people will see in a lifetime.
When it comes to Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky's wedding, there aren't any reports about how much they spent. However, based on what is known about their nuptials, it seems very unlikely they spent a fortune.
When the most expensive celebrity marriages take place, people typically spend months on the preparations. However, that was impossible for Pataky and Hemsworth as they walked down the aisle only three months into their relationship.
In 2016, Hemsworth made an appearance on Good Morning Britain. During the resulting conversation, Hemsworth revealed that when he decided to marry Pataky it was a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing.
'It did happen quick and it just felt right, it made sense." "There was no great plan to any of it to be honest. We were on holiday and we said 'why don't we get married too?' And then the next minute... There probably should have been some planning but it all worked out."
While some other stars have gotten married on a whim, Hemsworth and Pataky's wedding seems to have little in common with them as well. After all, they didn't elope or head to Las Vegas, and they've now been married for more than a decade.
