Chris Hemsworth unfolded details about his father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis and how it made him realise the “fragility” of life. In a recent interview with The Guardian, the Thor star shared that after Craig’s health scare, he has slowed down in life. Chris noted, “My appetite for racing forward has really been reined in”. “I’m getting better at relaxing, making more curated decisions, working with people I admire”. The thought, “My dad won’t be here forever,” has made him “more aware of the fragility of things” and to cherish every moment. It has even shifted his parenting. “My kids are now 11 and 13. Those nights where they’d fight over sleeping in our bed, suddenly they’re not happening anymore,” Chris, who shares three kids with wife Elsa Pataky, said. Now Chris is reassessing his definition of success. Lifestyle News – Latest Entertainment News, Celebrity Gossip The Crime 101 star explained, “I used to think maybe if I was nominated for something, I’d feel good about myself. Or maybe if I had the biggest film of all time, or launched another franchise, then I’d feel fulfilled”. He added, “It’s absurd. My self-worth doesn’t rest upon all of those exterior things anymore, though I still have to remind myself”.
