Chris Hemsworth said his wife Elsa Pataky wanted to change her surname after their marriage but because of her passport, she couldn’t do it.
The 36-year-old actor told Australia’s The Kyle and Jackie O radio show on Sunday: “I think that she wanted to, I think she still may. I think it was when we were coming back from America. We were living in Europe and deciding where to go. It was a complication of passports and so on. She might still do it.”
The couple first introduced to each other by talent agent William Ward and it was an ordinary meeting. But they felt an instant connection and started dating after three months of their first meet.
Chris and Elsa tied the knot in December 2010 when they were vacationing with their family in Indonesia. The Avengers actor said at that time, “Honestly, we had both our families on holiday at the same time, just randomly, and we said, ‘This is a good opportunity with everyone together.’ So, we just did it.”
His wife Elsa who is a Spanish actress revealed how the couple managed in the first few years of their marriage to make their relationship work. She said, “We did everything very quickly, I don’t know how we survived as a couple.”
“We were married and then a year after we had kids. It puts a lot of pressure on a marriage, but we came out good because there is a lot of love between us and we are very strong personalities but love each other so much. We make it work.’’
When Elsa first met Chris, the actor was not a big name in the Hollywood industry and she experienced his journey of success throughout the years. “In the beginning it was beautiful – when I met him he wasn’t known at all and I grew with him and experienced all his successes and changes, and then he became just so huge and I’ve been sharing that too,” Elsa added.
“Going through every moment and being there with him with every success was actually a good thing – we grew together. It’s difficult when you go from being an unknown person to a very known person and all the changes that come with that.”
Chris has talked about putting his family first as he revealed he wanted to spend time with his kids and would be on a break from Hollywood for 2019.
“This year I probably won’t shoot anything. I just want to be at home now with my kids,” Hemsworth said. “They are at a very important age. They are still young and they are aware when I leave more than before. I have a press tour, a few endorsements and bits and pieces, but mostly just be home.“
“If you went back 10 years and asked me what would be my dream scenario, this is kind of it. I can now sit back, enjoy and appreciate it, and stop chasing [movies].”
