Chris Hemsworth, widely known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently shared that his children are surprisingly indifferent to his superhero status. Despite his global fame and the excitement surrounding the character, Hemsworth revealed in a recent interview that his kids, including his teenage daughter and twin sons, no longer find the Thor persona appealing.
At home, the Hollywood star is viewed simply as their father rather than a larger-than-life figure, showing a clear divide between celebrity and family life. Hemsworth’s insight into his children’s attitude toward his superhero role highlights how their perspective has shifted since they first discovered his on-screen character.
The Children’s Initial Fascination and Subsequent Disinterest
Hemsworth, who has starred in other acclaimed movies such as The Cabin in the Woods and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, opened up about his kids’ reaction to learning about his part as Thor. He explained that initially, his children — India Rose, 13, and 11-year-old twin boys Sasha and Tristan — thought the role was very cool.
However, this excitement faded once they realized certain superhero qualities didn’t translate to reality, such as the ability to fly. The actor humorously described their change in attitude, saying they stopped being impressed after this realization.
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,
Chris Hemsworth said.
He also added with a laugh,
Now they’re just like, ‘ah, Dad, whatever’…Teenagers,
Family Life and Career Highlights of Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth married actor Elsa Pataky in December 2010, shortly after their relationship became public. Together, they have three children: daughter India Rose, born in 2012, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, born in March 2014. Despite his bustling career, Hemsworth balances his role as a dedicated parent with his professional commitments.
On his professional front, Hemsworth was most recently seen in Crime 101, a movie released on February 13, 2026, directed by Bart Layton.

Understanding the Humble Side of a Global Star
Chris Hemsworth’s remarks provide a glimpse into how celebrity status does not always translate into admiration within a family setting, especially as children grow and their interests evolve. His children’s shift from enchantment to indifference towards Thor shows a natural progression as they develop their own identities, likely separate from their father’s public image.
This dynamic also speaks about Hemsworth’s grounded approach to parenting, where he is more “Dad” than a revered star in his household. As Hemsworth continues to star in major projects, balancing his private life with a high-profile career remains a significant part of his journey — illustrating the challenges many public figures face when raising children away from the glare of fame.
