Chris Hemsworth’s emotional confession leaves fans in tears

Chris Hemsworth has revealed how life has slowed down for him.

The 42-year-old Aussie actor admitted that the recent Alzheimer’s diagnosis of his father has forced him to rethink what truly matters.

Chris, famous for wielding Thor’s hammer, told The Guardian that his father Craig’s health has made him “more aware of the fragility of things.” 

“You start thinking, ‘My dad won’t be here forever,’” he said that his voice tinged with emotion.

It's worth noting that family life is now front and centre for the Hollywood star. 

The Avengers star whi shares three children with wife Elsa Pataky, reflected on how quickly time flies.

“My kids are now 11 and 13. Those nights where they’d fight over sleeping in our bed — suddenly they’re not happening anymore,” he said.

He admitted that his view of success has shifted. 

“I used to think maybe if I was nominated for something, I’d feel good about myself… It’s absurd. My self-worth doesn’t rest upon all of those exterior things anymore,” he confessed.

The Crime 101 actor’s recent National Geographic documentary, Chris Hemsworth: A Roadtrip to Remember, offered a deeply personal look at his father’s struggle with early-stage Alzheimer’s. 

Chris described it as “a love letter to my father,” adding that people often avoid talking about such fears.
