Hemsworth: Hollywood Exit Was Best Move
24 Feb
Summary
- Chris Hemsworth left Hollywood for Australian farm life, calling it the greatest decision.
- He found Los Angeles lifestyle and paparazzi intrusive after his sons' birth.
- Hemsworth previously worked repairing breast milk pumps before acting.

Chris Hemsworth, the acclaimed actor, has shared his profound satisfaction with relocating his family from Hollywood to a large farm in his native Australia. He described this move, occurring around the time his sons were born, as the "greatest decision" he has made.
Hemsworth found the constant presence of paparazzi and the general lifestyle of Los Angeles to be unenjoyable. He contrasted this experience with his current life on a farm, which he likens to a holiday, featuring ample space for his children to explore, along with horses and motorbikes.
His childhood, spent with brothers Liam and Luke Hemsworth about 20 minutes outside Melbourne, involved extensive outdoor adventures and playing characters, which he credits with sparking his interest in acting.
Prior to his acting success, Hemsworth held a surprising first job repairing breast milk pumps for Fisher & Paykel, an Australian appliance manufacturer. This role involved detailed cleaning and repair of returned rental pumps.
Hemsworth's acting career began in the early 2000s with small roles in Australian television, followed by a significant break on the soap opera "Home and Away." His international breakthrough came with "Cabin in the Woods," though the film's delayed release meant his global recognition as "Thor" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe preceded its premiere.
In 2024, Hemsworth was honored with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star, where he publicly expressed deep gratitude to his wife, Elsa Pataky, for her unwavering support and for prioritizing his career dreams.
