Chris Hemsworth’s wife reveals she got a Thor tattoo as a teenager, years before she ended up marrying the actor who plays the Marvel superhero.
Elsa Pataky had no idea how her future would pan out when she got the Thor-inspired inking on her bicep.
Speaking to Vogue Australia about the “shocking” turn of events, she said: “Yes, it’s about Thor and I ended up marrying who plays Thor!
“It is shocking how things in life [turn out]. I just liked that [symbol] and the legend he had was so beautiful and I wanted to keep it.”
The Spanish actress also has a ‘C’ tattooed on her wedding finger which was inked by Hemsworth himself.
The celebrity couple met in 2010, and tied the knot within a year.
They have three children together daughter India Rose, five, and four-year-old twins, Tristan and Sasha.
Pataky said their marriage has had ups and downs as they had their children in the early stages, but that their love is strong enough to keep them together.
She said: “We did everything very quickly – I don’t know how we survived as a couple. We were married and then a year after we had kids.
“It puts a lot of pressure on a marriage, but we came out good because there is a lot of love between us and we are very strong personalities but love each other so much. We make it work.
“Chris’s parents have been together all their lives, and that’s such a beautiful thing, and their families are so close.”
Hemsworth opened up about their marriage last year, saying he is grateful to his wife for allowing him to focus on his career.
“In terms of work, she’s certainly given up more than I have,” he told GQ. “She’d like me to step back and be at home with the kids more, and of course, I want that too. I feel like I’m at this crucial point in my career – I’ve just got to set up for longevity or I’ll slip off.”
