Elsa Pataky Not Tired Of Chris Hemsworth Putting Work Before Family

Despite reports, Chris Hemsworth’s wife Elsa Pataky was not tired of the actor supposedly putting his work ahead of his family.

The original report was debunked Wednesday by Gossip Cop.

Earlier this month, in an interview with GQ, Hemsworth revealed that while filming for his new movie “Bad Times” at the El Royale, he spent three and a half weeks away from his wife and kids.

The reason he gave was this, “Normally I come away with my family. We arrive in a city. I rush off to work, do my prep. Rush home, kids, family, my wife. Next morning, up again, trying to fit in some training. Rush home, feed the kids,” said Hemsworth matter of factly. “Elsa ended up having a job at the same time, so it was fine but I actively chose to have it be a solo mission. It allowed me to selfishly focus just on this character. I would wake up and think I can actually go to work and think about the character and then I would come home and think about the character then, too, and dig into books and ideas and things that I hadn’t before. I just hadn’t been able to go to that place for a while. It was a combination of being both exhausting and a lot of fun.”

OK! Magazine took the comment and made it into a report which stated Pataky was tired of Hemsworth putting his work ahead of family, Gossip Cop pointed out. The magazine claimed Pataky was “overwhelmed” during the time when her husband was away, adding “her nights often ended in tears.”

The magazine, like many other false reports, went on to quote an anonymous source who said, “She had to do everything: arrange childcare, cook for them, bathe them — all while working on a project of her own.”

“Chris just expects her to suck it up, but she’s growing really tired of him putting his work on a pedestal. She wants them to be equal partners,” the source added.

Gossip Cop pointed out the magazine picked the original comment made by Hemsworth and made a false narrative out of it.

In the same interview, Hemsworth talked about how he prioritizes his family over his career.

“There’s times when I’ve thought, ‘Wow, because having kids is more important to me, some of my roles have suffered’. There’s definitely a couple of films I could’ve put way more energy into but I was like, ‘No, I’d rather be with my kids’,” he said in the interview.

"I don’t regret that but I’m aware. You can’t completely dismiss what that pursuit does for you either. I often find myself saying it’s all for my family but in all this, I definitely have personal things I need to achieve, too,” he added. “The difference is you have to open yourself up and go, ‘Well, you had kids so you forfeited a bit of that’. It can’t be a truly individual, selfish endeavor but we still need to take care of our own. Now my identity is another team, another community – the community being the family. You have to adapt and be malleable.”

As Gossip Cop noted, Hemsworth mentioned the weeks he spent without his family because it was out of the norm for him. A source close to the situation confirmed to Gossip Cop the article’s claims were false.
