The Thor star shares three children with the Spanish actress
Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky are no strangers to adrenaline-filled adventures, but even the most daring parents have their limits.
Elsa, 48, recently revealed that their 12-year-old daughter, India, nearly gave her a “heart attack” after taking on an incredibly bold challenge—riding a bull at a rodeo.
The Spanish actress and model shared a jaw-dropping video on Instagram of her daughter fearlessly mounting a bucking bull at a rodeo event in Australia.
Captioning the post with a mix of humor and panic, Elsa wrote: “Starting the year with a little bit of adrenaline! Rodeo night!! I almost had a hard attack!”
The clip quickly sent fans into a frenzy, with some expressing concern over the young girl’s safety, while others applauded the Hemsworths for allowing their children to embrace a life full of adventure.
One fan reassured critics by explaining: “Oh gees. The animals are not hurt. Rodeo cattle and horses are well taken care of. RSPCA makes sure of that. They buck to get the human off. These are only small steers. Kids are having fun, safety gear on. I love how normal a life the Hemsworths lead for their kids!”
The family, who reside in Byron Bay, Australia, have always prioritized an active, nature-filled upbringing for their children.
Chris, 41, and Elsa frequently share glimpses of their home life, often showcasing their kids’ outdoor escapades. From surfing and horseback riding to rock climbing and motorbike racing, it’s clear the Hemsworth children have inherited their parents’ adventurous spirit.
However, this isn’t the first time the Hemsworths have sparked debate among fans. Just last month, Elsa faced criticism after introducing their newest family member on Instagram—a beautiful German Shepherd puppy.
