While, @ajware_90, aptly explained, The huge difference I’ve always noticed about Hemsworth is that he’s a man and husband and a father who just happens to act in movies. He’s not a celebrity who’s married and has kids. It’s pretty clear his family will always come first.”

Whereas, @_1and.only.adikesh_, said, Bro is literally a kid inside that giant massiveness….”

Chris Hemsworth Shares Experience of Working with His Own Daughter on Thor: Love and Thunder

Chris Hemsworth recently had the chance to work alongside his own daughter in Thor: Love and Thunder. While Hemsworth cherished every moment of the experience, he emphasized the importance of letting his daughter, India Hemsworth, enjoy her childhood first.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Hemsworth shared his perspective on his daughter’s potential career in the industry and reflected on their shared screen time together. He said,

You know, that was originally supposed to be just a super quick little moment in the film, and then the character expanded due to the story changing, I said, ‘Oh, do you want to do some dialog in the film?’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah, cool!’ And she was a pro and loved it.

But I want her to have a childhood, and I think so does she. But I said, ‘There’s plenty of time, sweety. Go to school, horse ride, have fun, be a kid, Because once the train moves, it’s pretty hard to get off, and you miss a lot of things.
