Exclusively with Vanity Fair, Hemsworth shared he was taking a “break” from acting. This happened after the actor learned during the filming of the Disney+ documentary series “Limitless” that he was prone to Alzheimer’s disease.
“They took all my blood tests and did a bunch of tests, and the plan was to on camera tell me all the results and then talk about how you can improve this and that,” Hemsworth told the publication, recalling when he was told the news.
However, it wasn’t until he starred in the final episode of the series, which centered on “death and facing your own mortality,” that the enormity of the news really dawned on the actor.
Hemsworth continued, “It really sparked something in me to take some time off. And since we finished the show, I’ve done what I was contracted to do.”
The Thor star now plans to have “a good chunk of time off” to bond more with his children India, 10, Sasha, 8, Tristan, 8, and his wife, Elsa Pataky.

According to a report by the National Institutes of Health, one in four individuals has one copy of the APOE4 gene, which is the determining gene that triggers Alzheimer’s. Also, only 2 to 3% of the population has both.
In Hemsworth’s scenario, blood work revealed that his genetic makeup had two copies of the gene, one from his father and one from his mother, which increased his chances of developing the condition in the future.
Although the news was somewhat overwhelming, the actress said that she and her family—including her parents and siblings—have been handling it well.
He shared, “It was confronting at first, but quickly, it became a kind of self-deprecating joke, if you will. This is how I, my family, have a sense of humor. And that’s life, so…”

For his part, Hemsworth has taken healthy steps to reduce his chances of developing Alzheimer’s in the future, which include stress management, sleep management, nutrition, movement and fitness.
Now better prepared for the future, the father of three is grateful for being given the opportunity to get Alzheimer’s information early enough.
