The Surfer’s Soul: Chris Hemsworth’s Deep Connection to the Wave
In a 2023 interview with GQ, Chris Hemsworth spoke about his deep connection to surfing and how it has been a constant in his life, keeping him grounded and sane throughout his career:
I’ve always loved surfing. It’s one of the few things that holds my attention completely and in its entirety.
Hemsworth makes time for surfing even when he is filming on location. For example, he flew to Hossegor, France, every other weekend to surf while filming Extraction 2 in Prague. It is a means of mental “cleansing” for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star.
There’s a cleansing every time I get in the water. If I’m having some sort of inner conflict or turmoil, it’s the one place I go. There’s a feeling of starting again.
Hemsworth reminisced about how important surfing was to him as a child:
It was all I thought about the entire week. I didn’t really have much of a social life during high school. I wasn’t really going out to parties. All I wanted to do was surf and watch movies. It kept me out of trouble, I think.
From picking up a new surfboard to sharing his love for surfing with his kids, Hemsworth’s passion for the sport shines through in every aspect of his life.
So, in an industry where fame often alters personas, this actor remains a humble and down-to-earth Aussie at heart, his soul forever intertwined with the rhythm of the waves.
