Chris Hemsworth has revealed the heartbreaking reason he took up acting and why he believes the career which brought him fame and fortune is slowing ‘killing’ him.
The Thor star, 40, made the confronting admission in an episode of the Disney+ reality series Limitless, admitting his career choice stems from a difficult childhood.
‘If I’m totally honest, I did acting to get my parents out of debt. It could be killing me. When I first started acting, my parents had very little money,’ he began.
‘Talking to my dad about when he’s going to be able to pay the bank off and him saying, “Never, we’ll die having to pay it off”, that really bothered me from a young age.’
Despite having a net worth of over AU$220million, Chris admitted he still feels unresolved ‘stress’ stemming from his troubled upbringing – and said this can affect how he chooses his projects.

In May, it was reported that Hemsworth was filming the series in 2022 when he found out he is ‘between eight and 10 times’ likelier to develop Alzheimer’s than the general population.
Shortly after the news was made public the actor took a step back from Hollywood as news reports quickly began to swirl that Chris was retiring, or he had already developed the disease.
‘It really kind of p***ed me off because it felt like I had been vulnerable with something personal and shared this,’ he told Vanity Fair.
