Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky, share their holiday traditions with a major risk factor

Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky, posted a funny video Saturday about a holiday tradition with a high risk factor.

In the clip, the 39-year-old Thor star can be seen struggling to balance the Spanish wife, 46, on his broad shoulders as she tries to place star-shaped decorations on top of the giant Christmas tree.

Surrounded by children, the couple laughs as they realize that even with the Avengers star’s impressive 1.9m stature, he’s still too short to complete the task.

At one point, Chris suggests he jump in so Elsa can put the ornament on top of the tree.

As Elsa struggles to maintain balance, Chris stands on tiptoes, while the glamorous actress pulls the tree toward her so she can reach it.

Unfortunately for Chris, this tactic comes close to ruining the star’s good looks as tree branches crash into his head.

“Oh my face!” says Chris once, as Christmas tree needles stick pine needles into his famous cheekbones.

In the end, Elsa manages to place the star on top of the tree, to the cheers of the family members.

“Oh, backbone,” Chris groans as he lets his wife slip off his shoulders.

It comes after the superhero star announced a break from acting to spend time with his family after discovering he was at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Tell Vanity Fairhe decided to take a “vacation” after filming an episode about death confrontation in his new Disney+ docu-series Limitless.

“Doing an episode about death and facing your own death made me go, ‘Oh my God, I’m not ready to go yet,'” he said.

I want to sit and be in this place with a greater sense of stillness and gratitude. Then you start talking about children and family … “

‘It really triggered something in me for wanting to take some time off,’ Chris explained. And ever since we finished the show, I’ve been completing the things I’ve already been contracted to do.

He said he decided to have a ‘good rest’ with his wife Elsa and their three children – India, 10, and twin boys Sasha and Tristan, 8.

Chris returned home to Australia late last month after wrapping up reshoots of Extraction 2 in Prague, and wrapped up a quick promotional visit to the USA for his new series, Limitless.
