Stop acting, but not receive awards for it. Chris Hemsworth has reappeared on the red carpet at the Australian film awards, the AACTA, wrapped by his wife, Elsa Pataky, and their parents, to receive the Trailblazer Award, a special recognition of their achievements. The actor has received the award just days after learning that he will leave his career to focus on his health, after learning through a DNA test that he has a high chance of developing Alzheimer’s.

The Australian interpreter received the first of the awards granted by the film academy of his country, Australia, from the hand of a great friend, also an actor and of the same nationality, Russell Crowewith whom he starred Thor: Love and Thunder. Accompanied by his wife, Elsa, and his parents, Craig y LeonieHemsworth walked the red carpet at the AACTA gala, held in Sydney.




The couple of actors arrived at the gala and drew attention for the spectacular red dress that Elsa Pataky wore, with a heart-shaped neckline and a more than deep side opening on one side of the skirt, and her loose blonde hair. Both the husband of Madrid and her in-laws let her shine and came with elegant jacket suits, without a tie or bow tie in their case, and with a flattering aubergine color in the case of Chris’s mother.




The actor did not hesitate to thank his friend Crowe for the delivery: “It is a great honor to accept the AACTA Trailblazer Award tonight from someone I have always admired and who has also paved the way for many of us abroad.” Both stars are very fond of each other and their friendship was evident with the big hug they gave each other after the award ceremony.




The interpreter of the god Thor in the Marvel movie saga spoke clearly from the scene of his recent health diagnosis. “Doing an episode about death and facing your own mortality made me go, ‘Oh, gosh, I’m not ready to go yet.’ I want to sit and be in this space with a greater sense of stillness and gratitude,” he explained with complete sincerity. .




A little over two weeks ago, Chris Hemsworth reconsidered his life with his family, after making public the diagnosis of some medical tests that had been carried out during his participation in a television program. The DNA test showed that the actor had two copies of APOE4, the highest risk factor gene for Alzheimer’s, which means having 10 times more chances of developing the disease in the future than the rate considered normal.

The emotion at the awards ceremony could also be seen on the faces of his parents and his wife, the Spanish actress Elsa Pataky, with whom he lives in the Australian town of Byron Bay with their three children. Despite having succeeded in Hollywood, Hemsworth is one more in the list of great Australian film names who remain faithful to his roots on the mainland island. This is the case of his brother Liamby Russell Crowe himself and Nicole Kidman o Hugh Jackman.
