Chris Hemsworth lived up to his superhero Thor status as he showed off his huge biceps after a workout with Elsa Pataky in Madrid on Thursday.

Chris and Elsa tied the knot during the Christmas holidays in 2010

The couple live in a $30million mansion near Byron Bay after relocating from Los Angeles to Australia nine years ago.

In 2021, Elsa revealed that she and Chris have a very simple trick for keeping their marriage happy and healthy - laughter.

Speaking to Hola! magazine, she said said that the Thor actor has a knack for diffusing any argument with a joke.   

'We enjoy doing the same stuff and Chris has a great sense of humour and knows how to take the sting out of things,' she said.

Last month, Chris 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 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.

'What gives me huge anxiety and evokes stress is when I'm trying to take care of too many things, too many projects.

'I still have these thoughts of like, it's all going to go away if I don't say yes to these things. I can still feel stress eating away at me, and I don't want it to rule my life.'
