Wife and family
Hemsworth's talent agent, William Ward, not only helped his client get better grades, but it was also through that connection that he met his future wife, the Spanish actress Elsa Pataky, known for her roles in Serpents in an airplane and Fast Five. The two shared the same representation. Three months after making his romance public, the 27-year-old married his 34-year-old girlfriend on Christmas Eve 2010 in Australia.

Two years later, the couple welcomed their baby, India, into the world. Hemsworth is already promising to teach his daughter how to surf, as soon as she can walk. In an interview with Yahoo, Hemsworth said: "Having a baby has made everything else less important, and it's just wonderful." The couple joined their growing family with the arrival of the twins, Tristan and Sasha, in 2014.

Brothers
Hemsworth has an older brother, Luke, and a younger brother, Liam. His two brothers are also actors.

Films
It did not take long for the actor to reach the American silver screen when he appeared in J.J. The 2009 Abrams remake of Star Trek. His part as father of Captain James T. Kirk may have been small, but it was a performance enough to lead to a great opportunity in Hollywood.

'Thor'
Hemsworth auditioned for the lead role in the superhero movie Thor. He faced a super tough competition, including younger brother Liam. But director Kenneth Brannagh chose Hemsworth to play the Norse god in the 2011 film along with Oscar winners Natalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins. This blockbuster elevated Hemsworth to the status of A-List.

'The Avengers'
The following year, he became Thor again in The Avengers. Then, Hemsworth was chosen to play the character for the third time in Thor: The Dark World in 2013. Most recently he played this popular character in Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Thor Ragnarok (2017) and in Avengers: Infinity War ( 2018), along with its future sequel.


'Snow White and the Hunter' to '12 Strong '
The 6'3 "actor's ability to attract large crowds of films, especially female fans thanks to his good looks, has helped Hemsworth get other leading roles in addition to his work as Thor, starring in other box office successes such as Snow White and Huntsman (2012) with Kristen Stewart, also appeared in Star Trek Into Darkness (2013).

Hemsworth worked with the iconic director Ron Howard for Rush (2013), a true racing story. The actor joined Howard again for the real story of shipwrecks, In the Heart of the Sea, which was launched at the end of 2015.

Hemsworth also gained important roles in popular movie reboots of the 80s: in 2015 he played Rusty Griswold's brother-in-law on Ed Helms' vacations, and the following year served as secretary of the team at Ghostbusters.

In early 2018, Hemsworth played a captain of the United States Army in the war drama 12 Strong. A few weeks later, it was revealed that he would join the cast of another reboot, the sci-fi comedy Men in Black.
