Chris Hemsworth Wants Daughter to Enjoy Childhood as ‘A Kid’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Chris Hemsworth’s daughter, India, made her acting debut in THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER. Although Hemsworth was very proud of his 11-year-old daughter, his desire for her is to just “be a kid,” and not jump into acting.
Hemsworth told Entertainment Tonight, “I said, ‘There’s plenty of time, sweetie. 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.”
Hemsworth spoke on his daughter’s performance in THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER, “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 dialogue in the film?’ And she’s like, ‘Yeah, cool!'”
Hemsworth himself recently took a break from acting.
As Movieguide® reported:
“Doing and episode on death and facing your own mortality made me go, ‘Oh, God, I’m not ready to go yet,” Hemsworth said last November. “I want to sit and be in this space with a greater sense of stillness and gratitude.”
“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,” he continued.
“Before you know it, they’re 18 and they’ve moved out of the house, and I missed the window.”
Hemsworth still plans to complete the projects he is already signed onto such as an untitled Hulk Hogan biopic and another return to the Marvel universe as Thor in an upcoming Avengers sequel. After completing these projects, he will take a chunk of time off to be with his family.
“Most of us, we like to avoid speaking about death,” he said. “Then all of a sudden be told some big indicators are actually pointing to this as the route which is going to happen, the reality of it sinks in. Your own mortality.”
