Chris Hemsworth is fighting back against rumours about his health.
The Marvel star learned in 2022 that he has a high genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s, and shortly after the news was made public, he took a break from acting. Together, the two bits of news led to rumours that he was retiring, or that he’d already developed the disease, which he now says was very upsetting to hear.
Hemsworth originally discovered the higher likelihood of him developing Alzheimer’s on his Disney+ series,a show about health and longevity. In one episode, he underwent a number of blood tests by Dr. Peter Attia. “The idea that I won’t be able to remember the life I experienced, or my wife, my kids, is probably my biggest fear,” theThe actor also revealed that his grandfather suffered from the disease. “He either doesn’t remember who we are, you know, his grandkids, but also even his own children, for years. It’s heartbreaking.”Vanity Fair“I know my dad is going through a transition of acceptance around ‘I’m not this big, strong man with all the answers who everybody looks to for guidance now,’” he said.
“I’ve always been pretty consistent with my exercise commitments, but lately I’ve really felt the importance of taking time for yourself without any outside voice or stimulation and making time for stillness,” he said. “I think for the first time in my career I’ve started thinking, ‘S---, how many years do I have left that I can do this?’” he said. “I went through a sort of list of films with my production partner yesterday, a bit of a wish list, and then I was like, ‘Well, that’s six films. That could be the next decade. That could be it.
