Chris Hemsworth Talks About Fatherhood: I Now Know What Love Is

Opening up to Sunday Life during the weekend, the Thor actor Chris Hemsworth explained that having children has been a huge learning curve.

Hemsworth and wife Elsa Pataky, have their hands full with their “three under three” — India Rose, 3-year-old, and twin sons Tristan and Sasha, 19 months.

"The biggest thing I've learnt having kids is that I now know what love is,' he said.

"Each time you add one it feels like three more. It feels like I have six. They're non-stop active kids," he told the magazine.

To the now grown up Chris, family has become one of the guiding factors in his life.

Melbourne-born actor Chris Hemsworth spent his childhood between the city and outback life in Bulman, Northern Territory, before the family settled in Phillip Island, Victoria.

This touch of the nomadic may have shaped an actor’s disposition as all three Hemsworth boys are now successful actors in their own right.

A father of three himself, he feels fortunate to have had a big brother like Luke. “He carried me on his shoulders when I was starting out in the business."

"He's helped me enormously over the years and without his help I doubt whether I would have succeeded as much as I have… now, several years down the road, it's been my turn to help my little brother Liam make his way in Hollywood.”

Chris will once again grace the screen in his upcoming film, In The Heart Of The Sea, which is based based on the true story that inspired Moby-Dick, and directed by Ron Howard, it is due to be out in December.

The film is an upcoming 2015 epic historical adventure thriller drama film based on Nathaniel Philbrick's 2000 non-fiction book of the same name, about the sinking of the American whaling ship Essex in 1820, that inspired the tale of Moby Dick.

Directed by Ron Howard, the film stars Benjamin Walker, Cillian Murphy, Tom Holland, Ben Whishaw, Brendan Gleeson and Chris Hemsworth.

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Hemsworth revealed that to prepare for the role of starving sailors, the cast were on a diet of 500–600 calories a day to lose weight.
