Hollywood Dad, Chris Hemsworth, Puts Parenting At The Fore With This Major Career Move
Chris Hemsworth, 35, has revealed he’s quitting Hollywood to fulfill his own side of the bargain he had with his wife regarding their family. The actor married actress Elsa Pataky in 2010 and they decided that when they started having kids she would pause acting so she can have the babies and be with them while Chris continues to act movies. Then when the kids are considerably grown, Chris will pause movies and stay home with the kids while his wife resumes acting.

The 35-year-old star told The Daily Telegraph that he plans to spend more time at his family home in New South Wales, where they have been living for five years. He also revealed that he plans to reject movie roles in 2019 so he can devote all his time to his family back in Australia.
“I just want to be at home now with my kids,” he told the Daily Telegraph.
“They are at a very important age. They are still young and they are aware when I leave more than before”
It is still not known if Elsa will want to return to Hollywood or choose to also stay home.
