Shockingly, Chris Hemsworth was not enjoying living in Hollywood. In a recent interview with The Sunday Telegraph, the “Avengers: Endgame” actor revealed what made him go back from California to his indigenous Australia. Chris Hemsworth revealed that he felt “suffocated” by his Hollywood career.
Chris Hemsworth Suffocated by Hollywood
“When you’re suffocated by the work, every conversation that you’re having and every billboard you’re seeing is to do with a movie or whatever around the industry,” Hemsworth, 36, told. “You lose perspective.”
In 2015, Hemsworth packed up and drove back to Australia with his wife, Elsa, daughter India, 7, and twin six-year-old boys Tristan and Sasha.
“There’s not a single person [in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia] that I interact with, or close friends of mine, that are really in the industry and so that’s hugely refreshing,” the actor said. “It’s great for my kids and my wife.”
With several high-profile projects under his name — “Ghostbusters,” “Men in Black: International” and the Marvel franchise to mention a few — Hemsworth said he’s ready for things to slow down for a moment.
“I just want to stop for a while. I need to be home for a minute. Just enjoy it,” he noted. “It all flies by.”
He said of being in Australia, “It’s nice to be a part of a community that doesn’t live and breathes that world.”
