Chris Hemsworth admits ditching LA was ‘greatest decision’ he’s made

Home is like a holiday for Australian actor Chris Hemsworth.

Hemsworth, 42, called his move from Hollywood glitz to the Australian Outback the “greatest decision” he’s made after not enjoying his time in Los Angeles. The “Crime 101” star said coming home to “paparazzi and all the sort of the trappings” of the city helped solidify his decision to relocate his family to a sprawling farm in Australia, where he grew up.

“It was right around the time my boys were born, and it was just, we kind of were set up in LA and not enjoying it, you know? Like nothing was shooting there. We were filming kind of everywhere else,” he explained during an episode of “SmartLess.”

“And then … you’d come home and paparazzi and all the sort of the trappings of, you know, living in that space,” Hemsworth added.

Hemsworth shares three kids with wife Elsa Pataky. Hemsworth and Pataky met in 2010 and married that same year, just three months after making their relationship official.

The two eventually moved the family back to Australia onto a “big farm,” where their three kids have room to explore.
