Chris Hemsworth may play the ripped God of Thunder in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but at home in Byron Bay, he is simply a dad who is endlessly proud of his adorable family.
The Thor star took to Instagram on Tuesday to share that his 11-year-old son Tristan had taken part in an exciting dirt bike race, proving that a love for the outdoors runs in the family. See a glimpse of their day out below…
Like father like son
Chris looked so proud of his son, whom he shares with his wife Elsa Pataky, as he hugged him from behind while Tristan was garbed in his dirt bike uniform.
“Stoked for my boy competing in his first ever race finishing 3rd in his class, proud moment,” the actor wrote alongside several photos and videos from the big day.
The tween wore a red jersey with “Triz” written on the back in one shot, and donned a red and yellow helmet for his race. In another sweet video from the event, Chris swept his son off the ground in a bear hug after coming third in his race.
Living life outdoors

The young family are often seen embarking on outdoor adventures, or participating in Chris’ favorite hobby: surfing.
“Surfing remains a mainstay in my life and has become a part of my identity, and I continue to make memories with my family in the ocean,” the 41-year-old wrote on Instagram in 2023.

“My kids are endlessly inspiring for so many reasons,” he said. “Their ability to live in the moment and to dive into life head first and to have fun and be joyous and playful is a constant reminder that that’s what life’s about. I love you guys.”
A privileged life

Despite their lavish digs, Chris and Elsa are raising their kids to be humble and aware of their privilege.
“I want them to have a great appreciation for everything,” he told People. “I grew up with very little money, but my parents were my absolute heroes. They were respectful, kind human beings and operated in a way that was constantly inspiring and nurturing and kind.”
“Financially, we’re in a different position, but I want to make sure they know these things don’t come easy,” Chris added.
“You have to work for it, and you can’t take it for granted. Success is more about the values we have and the type of people we are, rather than the material objects that we might obtain.”
