Chris Hemsworth says his acting “suffered” after he became a father.
Hemsworth may not regret becoming a dad, but he acknowledges he has thought what his career would be like if he hadn’t had a family.
The Avengers actor, who has three children with actress and model Elsa Pataky, opened spa bout his struggles in an interview with GQ Australia.
“I do wonder sometimes if we hadn’t met, what my career would look like. Have I made decisions based on that? How has that influenced me?” Hemsworth, 35, said.
“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 added.
Hemsworth and Pataky married in 2010 and share daughter India Rose and twin boys, Sasha and Tristan. He told GQ Australia he does not “regret” having a family, however, he is “aware” of the choices he has made.
“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 said. “The difference is you have to open yourself up and go, ‘Well, you had kids so you forfeited a bit of that.’”
Hemsworth added, “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.”
