Australian actor Chris Hemsworth recently announced that he will be taking some time off acting in order to spend more time with his family.
The actor, who is just 39 years old, recently finished filming a new series just released on Disney+ called Limitless. According to a description of the series, “Chris is on a mission to live better for longer. With the help of top scientists, he takes on six epic challenges to test mind and body to the max.”
After filming the final episode, Hemsworth told Vanity Fair that he is taking a break from his career to spend time with his family, including his daughter India, 10, his 8-year-old twin sons, and his wife, Elsa Pataky.
“Doing an episode on death and facing your own mortality made me go, ‘Oh God, I’m not ready to go yet,’” Hemsworth said.
“And then you start talking about kids and family and going, ‘Oh my God, they’re getting older, they’re growing up, and I keep slapping another movie on top of another movie.’ Before you know it, they’re 18, and they’ve moved out of house, and I missed the window,” he added.
The actor, known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, learned while filming Limitless that he is eight to ten times more likely than the average person to develop Alzheimer’s disease.
