Chris Hemsworth is known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but his kids are unfazed by his A-lister status.

"I guess it's just normal for them," Hemsworth told Entertainment Tonight in 2022 of the children joining him on the set of the fourth "Thor" film. "They come on set and they get excited for a couple of minutes and then they realize it's a pretty boring process."

Hemsworth and fellow actor Elsa Pataky, who have been married since 2010, have three children together: a daughter and twin sons. Photos and videos of the kids regularly appear on their Instagram profiles, whether they're celebrating birthdays or going on vacations.

Most recently, Pataky and their sons supported Hemsworth at the world premiere of "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" in Sydney.

Here's everything to know about Hemsworth and Pataky's family.

India was born on May 11, 2012.

"It was just a name we liked," Hemsworth told E! News of him and Pataky choosing their firstborn's name. "I always kind of liked Indie or Indiana for a boy and she liked India. We sorta went, 'Oh well, whether it's a boy or girl that will decide.' It just seemed to fit."

India starred alongside her father in "Thor: Love and Thunder," the fourth film in the stand-alone "Thor" franchise.

In the film, she plays Love, the daughter of the villain Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale). At the end of the 2022 movie, after Gorr's death, Thor adopts her and the two go off on adventures as the duo Love and Thunder.

Hemsworth told Entertainment Tonight that she was supposed to have a minor role in the film, but took on a more pivotal role when the story changed. The actor said that India enjoyed the experience, but he's not pushing her into more acting roles.

"I want her to have a childhood, and I think so does she," he said.

Twin boys Sasha and Tristan Hemsworth are 10 years old

They were born on March 19, 2014. Hemsworth recently told Vanity Fair that Tristan's name was inspired by Tristan Ludlow, Brad Pitt's character in the 1994 drama "Legends of the Fall." Sasha was named after a stuntman friend of the actor.

Like Pataky and India, the twins also had roles in "Thor: Love and Thunder." Tristan briefly played young Thor early in the film and Sasha had a cameo as an Asgardian child.

"It felt like a fun, one-off family experience," Hemsworth told reporter Kevin McCarthy. "I don't want them to now go and be child stars and actors. It was just a special experience we all had and I loved it. They had a great time."
