Chris Hemsworth went on a precious date with his wife, Elsa Pataky, who was dressed an as older version of herself in order to help Hemsworth overcome some recent concerns about his health. This comes soon after Hemsworth announced that he will temporarily be stepping away from his acting career after learning that he is genetically predisposed to Alzheimers, which is the most common type of dementia that overtime affects things like memory, thinking and behavior. He documented this discovery in his docuseries on Disney+ called “Limitless with Chris Hemsworth.” He expressed his biggest fear after hearing the news by saying, \u201cThe idea that I won\u2019t be able to remember the life I\u2019ve experienced, or my wife, my kids \u2015 this is probably my biggest fear.\u201d In one of the episodes, his wife, Pataky, wanted to help Hemsworth overcome his fears of not remembering her as she gets older by dressing up as an 87-year-old version of herself with the help of makeup, prosthetics and a wig.<\/p>\n

In the episode, Hemsworth is led to believe that he will be meeting an elderly fan, but upon meeting, he realized it was his wife. \u201cYou\u2019re still beautiful,\u201d he told her. Hemsworth explained the feelings involved with the moment by saying, \u201cWhat is quite confronting is approaching that age on my own,\u201d he said in the episode. \u201cWhat makes it less scary is having someone to experience it with. Having people around you that you love makes me feel a lot more accepting.\u201d Pataky also gave her side, saying she felt quite “vulnerable” by the experience. \u201cAging is frightening, especially with women and in this society,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt made me think about how much value we give to youth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hemsworth and Pataky have been married since 2010 and share three children together, daughter India, 10, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
