Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky are enjoying a relaxing trip to Bali with friends.
The Hollywood star and the actress, 39, are staying at the the luxurious Komune Resort and Beach Club with Chris’ pal Luke Munro and his wife April.
The Thor star showed off his famous ripped physique as he and Luke went swimming in the resort pool and drank Bintang beer.
Meanwhile Spanish star Elsa flaunted her own incredible figure in a yellow mini dress as the group posed for a happy snap before heading for a night out on the town.
During the trip, Chris also surfed the waves at Keramas, a popular surf beach which is about an hour’s drive from Kuta – the main tourist location on the island.
Hemsworth met with eager locals on the beach, who watched him surf.
A professional photographer was also on hand to take photos of the star carving the pipeline. Chris then happily posed for selfies with locals when he got out of the water.
Sharing a post to Instagram on Thursday, Chris thanked the photographer for the pictures and the resort for their ‘hospitality’.
Komune Resort and Beach Club boasts an iconic surf beach once only surfed by locals.
The black-sand beach, located on Bali’s eastern coast in Gianyar, has been visited by the likes of pro surfer Kelly Slater and hosted popular surf competitions like the Corona Bali Pro in 2019.
Chris appears to be enjoying his active and laidback lifestyle after he recently announced he was taking a break from acting to spend more time with his family after discovering he was at risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
The Thor star told Vanity Fair he’d decided to take ‘time off’ after filming a confronting episode about death for his new Disney+ docuseries Limitless.
After having bloodwork done for the program, he was informed he is ‘between eight and 10 times’ likelier to develop Alzheimer’s than the general population, because he is one of only two to three percent of people with two copies of the gene APOE4.
‘Yeah, there was an intensity to navigating it,’ he reflected. ‘Most of us, we like to avoid speaking about death in the hope that we’ll somehow avoid it.’
The former Home and Away star added: ‘We all have this belief that we’ll figure it out. Then to all of a sudden be told some big indicators are actually pointing to this as the route which is going to happen, the reality of it sinks in. Your own mortality.’
Playing on Chris’ stardom through superhero movies, Limitless follows him as he pushes up against the boundaries of what his body can do.
The bloodwork he got in aid of the show resulted in the bombshell news that he is several times likelier than the general population to get Alzheimer’s, a degenerative brain condition characterised in part by memory loss.
The actor reacted to the news of his own predisposition to Alzheimer’s by cultivating a healthier lifestyle.
‘For me, the positive of it was like: “Right, if I didn’t know this information, I wouldn’t have made the changes I made,”‘ he said.
‘I just wasn’t aware of any of it, so now I feel thankful that I have in my arsenal the sort of tools to best prepare myself and prevent things happening in that way.’
As for how he coped emotionally, ‘very quickly it became a self deprecating sort of joke, if you will. It’s just the way I am, my family, there’s a sense of humor.’
As a result, Chris lives in dread of developing the illness and forgetting his wife Elsa Pataky as well as their daughter India, 10, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, eight.
‘The idea that I won’t be able to remember the life I’ve experienced, or my wife, my kids, is probably my biggest fear,’ he said.
