About this listen
Chris Hemsworth continues to blend blockbuster momentum with homespun family moments as the past week saw him publicly supporting his son Sasha during a local surf competition in Byron Bay, only days after a wave-filled trip to Fiji. Hemsworth was joined on the sand not just by his wife Elsa Pataky but also by his parents Craig and Leonie, with the entire family rallying behind Sasha as he clinched victory. Elsa congratulated their son in a now-viral Instagram post, while Chris reflected in a recent Surfer interview on the balance of parenting and letting his children carve out their own passions. He admitted that if he could wave a magic wand, he’d swap Hollywood for the pro surf circuit, though he humbly claims he lacks the talent or commitment to make that dream a reality, referencing his close-calls with Aussie surf legends and waves deemed too dangerous by Disney for his National Geographic series.
On the professional front, a major headline broke in Queensland as Amazon MGM Studios officially launched production on Subversion, a high-profile submarine thriller starring Hemsworth alongside Lily James and Michael Peña. The film, directed by Patrick Vollrath and produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, is projected to pump over 63 million dollars into the local economy and employ more than 400 cast and crew, making it a significant point in Hemsworth’s growing list of international projects, according to Screen Queensland.
His entrepreneurial muscle also flexed this week with Centr, his fitness app, unveiling a new data-driven strategy and two Hyrox-certified 12-week programs for beginners and experienced athletes. Centr’s expansion aligns with Hemsworth’s personal training ethos and is reportedly tested by the man himself at his Byron Bay gym, as detailed by Health Club Management.
Meanwhile, at the New York City premiere of Transformers One, director Josh Cooley delighted in sharing how Hemsworth’s voice acting for Orion Pax happened entirely at home in Australia, with his kids regularly interrupting recording sessions. At the film’s Australian premiere, Hemsworth was joined on the red carpet by his wife and lookalike sons, with social media buzzing over their family resemblance.
Socially, Hemsworth made playful headlines during his guest spot on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. He recounted taking a selfie with Billie Eilish at the Oscars, joking that it forever relegated him to fan status rather than colleague, a moment that resonated online with trolls and fans alike. As for public appearances, he surprised audiences at an Ed Sheeran concert in Bucharest, sending fans into a frenzy, according to ARY News—which was one more in a string of spontaneous moments that keep his name trending across platforms. All told, the week reveals a star consciously balancing international productions, entrepreneurial ventures, and family milestones, with every new headline feeding both his celebrity and his relatability.
