Chris Hemsworth talks about impact of Jeremy Renner's accident on his life, says 'any of us can go at any minute'
MONA VALE, AUSTRALIA: Chris Hemsworth, famed for his role as 'Thor' in the Marvel's Avengers franchise, recently opened up about the enormous impact that his co-star Jeremy Renner's tragic accident had on him. Hemsworth spoke openly about the incident and his marriage to his wife Elsa Pataky in an interview with British GQ.
The actor revealed that when news of Renner's health reached the Avengers cast, they were taken aback by the severity of the situation. Hemsworth emphasized that such experiences serve as a stark reminder that life can be unpredictable, and anyone can face unforeseen circumstances at any moment. “I think anything like that, it’s an immediate realization of, ‘Wow, any of us can go at any minute…" he told the publication.
'Oh, I could be halfway'
Hemsworth revealed conflicted emotions about this new stage of his life as he draws closer to turning 40 birthday. He acknowledged, "I still feel like I’m 25 and I’ve got heaps of time. Now I’m like, ‘Oh, I could be halfway. More than halfway.’" The realization of the passing of time and the fragility of life has begun to sink in for the actor, leading to a deeper contemplation of his own mortality. “It is a lot of time. If I get there! The reality of, ‘I’m not going to be here forever’ is sinking in.”
Hemsworth also delved into his relationship with Elsa Pataky
In the interview, Hemsworth also delved into his relationship with Elsa Pataky, 46 whom he married in 2010 shortly after meeting her. The couple shares three children — daughter India Rose, 11, and twin boys Sasha and Tristan, nine. Their life has been a whirlwind of major milestones, with career success, marriage, and parenthood all happening simultaneously. “We were having kids the same time my career was taking off, the same time we were getting married, the same time we were getting to know each other," he said. "It feels like we got to know each other halfway through our relationship, five, six years ago. In a beautiful way. Once our kids were out of nappies, things became a bit more manageable.”

But it wasn't until the last five to six years that they really came to know one another well. They had a greater sense of balance and stability in their lives as their children grew older. "Once our children were out of nappies, things became a bit more manageable," he said. Besides her sacrifices, commitment, work support, and forgiveness also played a crucial role. "I couldn't have done any of the things I've done without it."
