Chris Hemsworth and wife Elsa Pataky’s 14-year-old daughter, India, is already a bona fide rodeo star.
“Just wanna say my daughter is a savage,” Hemsworth, 43, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, September 30, sharing footage of India riding a bucking bull. “Only girl in the comp and took home the win 💪.”
He continued, “Proud moment.”
In addition to India, Hemsworth and Pataky, 50, also share twins Sasha and Tristan, both 12. All three of their kids have found passions for adventurous pursuits.
“Costa Rica photo dump,” the Marvel star began via Instagram in a July carousel. “My kids continue to crush all the extreme, adrenaline pumping activities no matter where we are.”
India, for her part, also enjoys BMX racing.
“My girl absolutely sending it last weekend! Happy birthday @tayloreve__ @girlscanride_ and a huge thanks for teaching her how to jump!” the proud dad gushed via Instagram in November 2025.
India’s action-packed stunts even extend to the big screen, playing Love in 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder. (Hemsworth famously plays the titular Thor in the MCU franchise, in which Love became his eventual adopted daughter.)
“It was just like when I’m at home, trying to tell her to do anything, she’s like, ‘Pfft, no, I’ll do it my way,’” Hemsworth recalled to Marvel.com at the time. “And power to her, good on her, because she did an incredible job.”
India’s onscreen father, Christian Bale, gushed to the outlet that she did a “wonderful job” in her feature film debut.
“We have a fair few scenes where, you know, it can get quite sad. I remember [the] poor little thing at one point, I was doing a scene, and then I had to hold her, and tears dropped,” Bale, 52, noted at the time. “I think one hit her on the face, and she was like, ‘Ooh no.’ I look, and like she’s going to chuck up, and I don’t blame her, poor little thing. But she was absolutely magnificent.”
According to Bale, Hemsworth was frequently present during his daughter’s big screen moments.
“Chris was a wonderfully attentive dad, just off-camera all the time, just checking she was all right, giving me thumbs up, me giving him thumbs up, checking,” he added. “It was really endearing seeing the two of them. He sort of let her be, and she did it herself.”
Despite India’s starring turn in Love and Thunder, her dad was hesitant about allowing her to pursue an acting career just yet.
“I want her to have a childhood, and I think so does she, but I said, ‘There’s plenty of time, sweetie. Go to school, horse ride, have fun, be a kid,’” Hemsworth told Entertainment Tonight in June 2023. “Because once the train moves, it’s pretty hard to get off, and you miss a lot of things.”
