Actor Chris Hemsworth gave credit to his wife of nearly 14 years, Elsa Pataky, for his success in Hollywood.
The 40-year-old Marvel star made the remarks in Los Angeles on Thursday during a speech he gave after receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Pataky attended the event along with the couple’s three children, India Rose, 12, and twins Sasha and Tristan, 10, per People.
“I want to say thank you to my beautiful wife, who has been here for my entire career basically by my side, endlessly encouraging and supportive,” Hemsworth said. “And it doesn’t get lost on me that she put aside her own dreams in order to support mine and, again, [I am] forever in your debt.”
“The fact [is] that nothing that I do, any of these moments, these special occasions and events, none of it is special without you by my side. I love you,” the “Thor” star continued.
The pair met after being introduced to each other by their agents in 2010. They were engaged and married shortly after, and mostly keep their relationship private.
Some of Hemsworth’s co-stars were also in the audience to celebrate the Australian-born star receiving the honor, including Robert Downey Jr., who turned his speech into a mini-roast.
“First off, [Jeremy] Renner says ‘absurdly annoyingly amazing.’ [Mark] Ruffalo came in strong with ‘Friend from work,’” Downey Jr. said. “That’s a callback, now I get it. Scarlett [Johansson] got to the heart of it with ‘sensitive leading lady.’ Captain America [Chris Evans] calls him ‘second-best Chris.’”
Next up, fans can see Hemsworth in the highly anticipated post-apocalyptic action adventure film, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” which debuted on Friday, May 24. Director George Miller also shared his thoughts on Hemsworth.
