I just want to be at home: Chris Hemsworth to quit Hollywood for family

Chris Hemsworth is putting the breaks on his Hollywood acting in order to spend more time with his family in Australia.

The 35-year-old Avengers: Endgame and Men in Black star made the revelation to The Daily Telegraph, telling the paper that he's turning down all projects for the rest of 2019.

"This year I probably won't shoot anything. I just want to be at home now with my kids," said the dad, who shares three children with wife Elsa Pataky.

He has a seven-year-old daughter named India and five-year-old twin sons Tristan and Sasha, who live with him in Byron Bay, Australia

"They are at a very important age," he added. "They are still young and they are aware when I leave more than before."

Chris has been on our screens for pretty much the entirety of 2019, starring in blockbusters and reboots which have garnered huge revenue, for both the actor and the studios.

The chilled-out Aussie has always valued family and admitted last year that his money makes him "feel gross".

GQ magazine interviewed the actor last year, who according to Forbes earned an incredible $64.5 million since the start of 2018. He explained his distaste with having too much money:

"I remember saving up for a surfboard when I was younger. The surfboard was 600 bucks and I saved up for a whole year with Dad's help," he recalled.

"I didn't even want to surf on it for fear of damaging it," he said. His new Byron Bay home is rumoured to be worth a staggering $20 million, and is unfinished as of yet.

His wife told Australian Harper's Bazaar last month that Byron "is a different world":

"Here, there's a disconnect. It was a dream I'd have this kind of life. It has been our means of slowing down and made me learn how to be happy without all that. To stop worrying about trying to find another job. It makes you connect with your family. It's about teaching them to enjoy this instead."

We hope to see one of our favourite actors back on the screen once he gets a break from stardom and reconnects with his wife and children. Family really does come first in the Hemsworth house.
