Chris Hemsworth’s ‘All-Consuming’ Fitness Goals Put Strain on Marriage to Elsa Pataky (Exclusive)

Chris Hemsworth’s jacked physique is a hit among fans — but a source says his obsession with staying fit is becoming a turnoff for wife Elsa Pataky.

“It’s all-consuming,” dishes the source. “Everything in their lives revolves around Chris’ filming schedule, eating schedule, exercising schedule and sleeping schedule.”

According to the source, the couple and their kids — India, 13, and twins Tristan and Sasha, 11 — spent months in England last year while the actor, 42, reprised his role as Thor in Avengers: Doomsday.

The movie is set to hit theaters on December 18.

“When he’s making one of these Avengers sequels, it’s not a normal job for Chris. He has to put himself through the wringer just to remain camera ready,” notes the source. “Elsa is into fitness herself, but not into the punishment Chris endures to look like a god on screen.”

Trainer Luke Zocchi told The Independent that Hemsworth concentrated on bulking up “his shoulders and his arms” to maximize his costume in the latest Marvel flick.

“To appeal to his massive international audience, Chris knows he has to look a certain way,” adds the source. “And he’s willing to put himself and his family through hell to get there!”

While the end results may be worth it to Hemsworth — and his legion of admirers — Pataky, 49, isn’t into the muscles from an aesthetic point of view either.

Her reaction to his extra beefy appearance in 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder?

“My wife was like, ‘Bleh, it’s too much,'” Hemsworth admitted to USA Today at the time.
