At the world premiere of Crime 101 in Los Angeles on February 10, Chris Hemsworth opened up about his children’s opinions on his acting career, revealing a surprisingly indifferent attitude. Hemsworth, known for his role as Thor, discussed how his three children—13-year-old daughter India Rose Hemsworth and 11-year-old twin sons Sasha and Tristan Hemsworth—view his status as a global movie star.
Changing Perspectives from Childhood to Teen Years
While his children were initially amazed by his famous roles, their enthusiasm has cooled over time. Hemsworth explained that when they first discovered he was Thor, they found it exciting. However, their views shifted once they understood the limits of his superhero powers.
“They don’t care. They don’t care at all,”
Hemsworth remarked when asked if his kids thought being a movie star made him cool.
“I reckon when they first realized I was Thor, they thought it was really cool,”
he said.
“And then they realized they couldn’t fly and they thought it was less cool.”
He added,
“Now they’re just like, ‘ah, Dad, whatever,’”
highlighting the typical teenage nonchalance.
Life in Byron Bay and Family Priorities
Since 2015, Hemsworth, along with his wife Elsa Pataky and their children, has lived in Byron Bay, a coastal town near Australia’s Gold Coast. This change from the United States reflects the family’s choice to focus on their life away from Hollywood’s spotlight.
Premiere Details and Hemsworth’s Latest Role
At the Los Angeles premiere of Crime 101, Hemsworth appeared alongside co-star Halle Berry ahead of the film’s release by Amazon MGM Studios. The thriller centers on Hemsworth as Mike Davis, a jewel thief teaming with Berry’s character, insurance broker Sharon Colvin, while a persistent detective closes in on their criminal activity. The movie also stars Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte.
Memorable Set Souvenirs from Hemsworth’s Career
During the premiere, Hemsworth also shared anecdotes about collecting props from previous films. He admitted to taking several weapons used in his roles, including an axe from Snow White and the Huntsman and both hammers and Stormbreaker from the Thor films. He even joked about wanting to take the iconic ’69 Camaro but was deterred by the differences in steering configuration between countries.
“I did Snow White and the Huntsman and I took the axe,”
Hemsworth told reporters.
“With Thor, I’ve taken hammers and I took Stormbreaker, and I wanted to steal the ’69 Camaro, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side if I took it back to Australia.”
Impact and What Lies Ahead
Hemsworth’s candid reflections on both his children’s candid opinions and his film career offer a glimpse into balancing parenthood with life in the spotlight. As Crime 101 continues its theatrical run, audiences can expect to see Hemsworth take on a more grounded role, distinct from his superhero persona, while maintaining his connection to family life outside the screen.
