Chris Hemsworth is a successful actor and caring family man. But the road to success was long and difficult. After all, not everyone is ready to overcome more than 12 thousand kilometers in order to achieve their goal.
Childhood
Chris Hemsworth was born on August 11, 1983 in the Australian city of Melbourne. Chris was not the only child in the family, he has an older and younger brothers. Despite the fact that Chris was born in the second largest city on the continent, his childhood was partly spent in the small farming town of Bulman, which has a population of about 300 people.
And when the young man was 14 years old, the whole family moved to the island of Philip. Due to frequent travels, Chris's education turned out to be very abrupt. In his new place of residence, Hemsworth quickly found himself a hobby: after school, he surfed all day. However, all the brothers had one dream for three: to become famous actors.
Actor's career
When Hemsworth was 18 years old, after his older brother, he began to participate in many castings. And after a year of difficult searches, the young man made his TV debut. He got the role of a minor character in a TV series called "Gwen Jones". In the same 2002, Chris appeared in an episode of the television series "Neighbors".
The actor was increasingly called to shoot in various series, where he was offered only episodic roles. At some point, the young man decided that he was tired of acting in episodes. Then he went to the casting in the TV series "Home and Away", where he applied for the main role. However, the producers and director of the project had already found the main actor by that time, so Hemsworth was offered only a minor role. The guy hardly agreed to participate and during the filming moved to the largest city on the continent - Sydney.
He could not have imagined that for his work on this series he would receive the first Loki award in his career. It was a breakthrough in his work.
Yet, despite this success, Chris made a firm decision for himself to leave Australia for the United States, because he believed that he had reached the "ceiling" in the Australian film industry. Thus, in 2007 he moved to Los Angeles. Being in an unfamiliar country for himself, the young man understands that at first it makes no sense to hope for the main roles. First, it was required to establish himself as a supporting actor.
His first role in America went to him in the box-office movie Star Trek. Then such films as "Big Money" and "Perfect Getaway" appeared in his arsenal.
The turning point in the man's acting career was the first leading role in the film "Thor", which was released in 2011. After this project, the Australian actually no longer starred in episodic roles.
The filmography of the Australian actor has about 30 different television and film projects. In 2019, at least 3 films with the participation of Hemsworth are released, including: "Avengers 4", "Men in Black" and "Dhaka".
Personal life
If we talk about the personal life of a famous man, then since 2010 he has been married to actress Elsa Pataki. By the way, the couple became husband and wife already 3 months after they met. However, as practice shows, they were not at all mistaken in each other. The couple live in a happy marriage and are raising two sons (born in 2014) and a daughter (born in 2012). It is also worth noting that Elsa is 6 years older than her chosen one, but this age difference does not interfere with their love at all.
