They’re both known for their tough on-screen characters, but Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky showed off their softer sides on Tuesday afternoon as they took it in turns to cradle their daughter India Rose.

Looking every inch the happy family, the threesome headed to Paradise Beach Cove cafe in Malibu for some lunch, where the happily married couple doted on their little girl, who turned one in May.

Spanish actress Elsa looked low-key but gorgeous in a strapless, floaty summer dress as she carried her little girl in her arms.

She completed her summery look with a pair of giant sunglasses and kept her signature cropped do slightly over to one side.

The star – who has just returned as Elena Neves in the latest Fast And Furious film after appearing in the fifth one back in 2011 – looked content as she arrived at the restaurant, with her family in tow.

Little India Rose looked adorable with her rosy pink cheeks and hair standing up in different directions.

The toddler matched her father – who was quick to take over the doting parent role from his wife – in a dusty pink T-shirt.

The Thor actor looked like the perfect doting father as he proudly lifted his daughter in his arms.

The 29-year-old kept things casual for his lunch date, opting for black skinny jeans and a worn out pair of trainers.

He completed his look with a baseball cap and a pair of sunglasses.

After their lunch date, Elsa took her daughter for a walk on the beach while her husband headed home.

The star looked relaxed as she held her sleeping daughter and walked barefoot along the sand.

Chris will be reprising his role of Thor in the Marvel film sequel Thor: The Dark World in October, while Elsa plays the romantic interest for Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto in the latest Fast And Furious.

Elena and Chris were married in December 2010 and welcomed India Rose in May last year.

‘The family is our priority. We both make an effort and give up things,’ Elsa said in a recent interview with the American edition of Women’s Health magazine.

‘[When you have a baby] you really have to change the way you view life. It’s not just about you, but it’s amazing.’
