Chris Hemsworth, known for his portrayal of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, recently demonstrated that he’s still in superhero shape even while taking a break from filming. The actor was seen enjoying a beach day in Byron Bay, Australia, with his wife, actress Elsa Pataky, on January 14th, 2025. The couple, along with friends, engaged in a friendly game of beach football.
Hemsworth, 41, showcased his impressive physique in grey swim trunks, casually draping an animal print towel over his shoulders. Pataky, 48, looked equally stunning in a high-cut white one-piece swimsuit and a black baseball cap.

The sighting of the athletic couple comes after Hemsworth recently discussed how quickly he realized Pataky was “the one.” In a September 2024 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, he recounted their first date, where Pataky arrived on a motorcycle. This adventurous spirit immediately caught his attention. He emphasized the importance of shared interests in a relationship, particularly a passion for outdoor activities and sports, which he and Pataky clearly share. Hemsworth’s dedication to fitness is further evident in his founding of the Centr fitness program.
The couple’s shared love for an active lifestyle has been a cornerstone of their relationship since they met in 2010 and married later that year. Hemsworth revealed to Barrymore that they were introduced by a mutual dialect coach. A simple Google search of Pataky’s photo convinced him to pursue her, leading to their first date and the start of their lasting relationship. They are now parents to three children: 12-year-old daughter India Rose and 10-year-old twin sons Sasha and Tristan.

Hemsworth and Pataky consistently demonstrate their appreciation for each other and celebrate their respective achievements. During Hemsworth’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony in May 2024, he publicly thanked his wife for her unwavering support throughout his career, acknowledging her sacrifices in putting aside her own aspirations to champion his. He expressed his deep gratitude for her contributions to his success.
