Dylan’s podcast
Part one
Hey, mates! Dylan here!
Today I’m going to talk about a new celebrity. And what a gigantic one!
I’m a huge fan of Marvel Studios films and a super fan of Chris Hemsworth. Thor: Love and Thunder is one of his last films and
he was brilliant performing that superhero, as usual. I love his roles, but I also admire him because of his way of living. He’s a
very humble person who lives in his home country, Australia, with his lovely family, including their pets. He’s not a regular
Hollywood star. They recently moved to Sydney, but, as any other Australian, the actor loves spending some time by the sea, so
the family travel quite often to Byron Bay, an international surf spot.

B. / C.
Dylan’s podcast
Part two
Chris Hemsworth is 39 years old. He was born in Melbourne and his ancestors were English, Irish, Scottish and German. He’s so
talented!
Did you know that he was even one of the contestants of the Australian version of Dancing with the Stars in 2006? That’s right!
He knows how to act, dance and he even has time to help everyone around. He is associated with the Australian Childhood
Foundation to support and protect children in need. He is one of the main supporters of the foundation and he was influenced by
his parents, because they were social workers for 20 years.
As an actor, he travels very often to the United States and he sometimes takes his family with him. However, since the
pandemic, he made a deal with his wife, Spanish actress Elsa Pataky: when one of them is shooting a film abroad, the other
stays at home, in Australia with their kids. They want to keep up with their three children as much as they can, as they grow up
too fast. India is their oldest daughter, she’s 10; and Sasha and Tristan are Chris and Elsa’s eight-year-old twins. They are a
sweet family and have lots of fun together. They love nature and saving and protecting animals, and India, especially, is fond of
watching her father working out to keep fit for his movie characters. The Australian actor and his daughter also like recording
TikTok videos together. They are so cute! He likes sharing funny and happy video moments with his children on social media.
Did you know that he has around 56 million followers on Instagram? People just love this wonderful actor / regular parent.
And that’s all for today, mates! Stay tuned for my next podcast on celebrities.
