Chris Hemsworth Praises Wife Elsa Pataky's 'Sacrifice' and 'Forgiveness' in Their Relationship

The actor said they both want to have a "good time, to laugh and be involved in new adventures"

Chris Hemsworth is grateful for Elsa Pataky.

In a new British GQ cover story, the Extraction 2 actor, 39, praised his actress wife, 46, with whom he shares three kids: daughter India, 11, and twin sons Tristan and Sasha, 9.

Hemsworth, who married Pataky in 2010, said their relationship is built on a shared goal to "have a good time, to laugh and be involved in new adventures."

He added, "Her sacrifice, commitment, work, support, forgiveness — everything that she has given me over the years has been incredible. I couldn't have done any of the things I've done without it."

The Thor actor also said time flies with his family milestones.

"Goes so fast. Like everything. We were having kids the same time my career was taking off, same time we were getting married, same time we were getting to know each other. It feels like we got to know each other halfway through our relationship, five, six years ago. In a beautiful way," he said. "Once our kids were out of nappies, things became a bit more manageable."
