Chris Hemsworth’s red carpet confession after busted with cheat notes on hand
Chris Hemsworth was spottted with some cheat notes written on his hand at a premiere, which let to him revealing what they were for.
Chris Hemsworth has been married to Spanish actress Elsa Pataky for almost 13 years, but when it comes to speaking her native language, it seems the Aussie actor is still a little rusty.
So much so, that when he attended the premiere for his Netflix film Extraction 2 in Spain yesterday, he was spotted with some Spanish words scrawled on the palm of his hand.
The 39-year-old was then photographed with the so-called cheat notes clearly visible, which he personally found hilarious.
“After years of coming to Spain and being asked ‘has my Spanish improved’ I can safely say it’s in the palm of my hand,” he joked on Instagram as he shared the photo.
So what did he have written on his palm? The actor shared that detail during a guest appearance on local TV program El Hormiguero (Spanish for The Anthill).
“’I am very happy to be in Spain,’” he said. “Elsa wrote it [for] me.”
In the interview, Hemsworth also revealed his three children with Pataky – daughter India, 10, and twins son Tristan and Sasha, 9 – find it funny that he doesn’t speak nor understand the language.
“I try, but I can’t. My children laugh at me when I try to have a conversation with them in Spanish,” he confessed on the show.
““Sh*t, f**k, what happened? … I know that, that’s what my wife yells at me. The more she gets angry, the more she speaks Spanish.”
Back in 2017, Pataky told the Today show she has pretty much given up on teaching her husband her native tongue, focusing on teaching their children instead.
“He promised me, he said, ‘I’ll be speaking Spanish in two months.’ There we go, we have been together for six years,” Pataky – who speaks five languages: English, Spanish, Italian, French and Romanian – said on the breakfast program at the time.
“That’s important, that’s what my mum did to me, talked in Romanian. I start to speak in English, I’m like, ‘I don’t express myself great.’ I got used to making an effort to speak to [the kids] in Spanish.”
