India Rose Hemsworth
Born: May 11, 2012
Chris and Elsa—who wed in December 2010—welcomed their first child, a daughter named India, in May 2012. India was named after the country, with the actor telling USA Today: “We love the country and love the name.”
According to Chris’ Instagram, India has no problem getting her hands dirty and loves exploring everything from the ocean to the ski slopes.
In 2022, India joined her dad in the acting world as she tackled the role of Love in Thor: Love and Thunder, playing the daughter of her real-life dad’s title character. In July 2022, the doting dad shared a full-circle moment on Instagram alongside a series of photos of him and India. “Here’s two pics of me and my daughter. One was the first time she was on set 11 years ago, the other is the most recent on Thor: Love and Thunder,” he wrote. “She’s my favourite superhero.”
Despite the privilege India and her siblings may have being the offspring of two very successful people, Chris has been clear that he doesn’t want them to take anything for granted. “I want them to have a great appreciation for everything,” he told People in 2017. “I grew up with very little money, but my parents were my absolute heroes. They were respectful, kind human beings and operated in a way that was constantly inspiring and nurturing and kind.”
“Financially, we’re in a different position, but I want to make sure they know these things don’t come easy,” Chris added. “You have to work for it, and you can’t take it for granted. Success is more about the values we have and the type of people we are rather than the material objects that we might obtain.”
