ELSA Pataky is married to the “sexiest man alive” — yet she wants the country to know her as more than Aussie hunk Chris Hemsworth’s wife.

The actor wife of the Thor star now calls Byron Bay home, with the couple and their three children spending most of their time Down Under.

“We live in Australia and I want to do things here and start working, and for people to know me a little bit more than as Chris’s wife,” Pataky said in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph’s Stellar magazine.

It comes as she announced her new ambassadorship role for the Botanicals hair range by L’Oreal Paris.

Pataky — mum to India, four, and three-year-old twins Tristan and Sasha — speaks five languages (Spanish, English, French, Italian and Romanian) and is an accomplished actor, singer and model.

“It is funny,” said Pataky, whose film credits include the Fast & Furious films and Snakes On A Plane.

“He’s like, ‘I’m the Sexiest Man Alive,’ and I’m like, ‘I was the sexiest in Spain for years! You have just one (title)’.”
