Chris Hemsworth, 39, recently posted four photos on Instagram showing his wrinkled face and white hair, as if he had aged overnight. He also wrote, “It’s not too horrible to be 85 in a blink of an eye.”
In one, he captured an elderly Thor, a far cry from the dashing young man portrayed in another. Photos of him and his two brothers, all of whom appeared to have been aged digitally because they all had white hair and wrinkles, fueled speculation that the trio had been edited in post-production.
Twelve years ago, Chris Hemsworth tied the knot with actress Elsa Pataky. After getting married, he had twin boys and a girl. Though Chris Hemsworth is widely regarded as a “good dad” thanks to his openness about his family life, his extensive international travel for work in recent years has prevented him from spending much time with his children at home.
While getting in shape for a documentary on extreme challenges, he underwent a medical examination. He learned that he inherited two copies of the APOE4 gene, increasing his risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by a factor of 8 to 10. It’s possible you won’t get sick down the road. Still, the odds are higher than average because your grandfather has Alzheimer’s disease and has a family history of it.
Chris Hemsworth admitted that he was taken aback the first time it happened and that the thought that he would lose his ability to recall previous events and loved ones gave him a great deal of anxiety. “I need to take a break because this has given me a lot to think about.”
