She may have appeared in two of his hit Marvel movies.
But Chris Hemsworth says he doesn’t want his daughter India to pursue acting, even after her debut in Thor: Love and Thunder last year.
The 39-year-old Hollywood star said he wants his eldest child, 11, to have a childhood for now, but is ready for her to take up the craft when she grows up.
“I want her to have a childhood and I think she does too,” he said ET online.
“I said, ‘There’s plenty of time, honey. Go to school, ride a horse, have fun, be a kid.’ Because once the train leaves, it’s pretty hard to get off and you miss a lot of things.
Chris said he’s happy to support India in her acting endeavors “if she wants to do more things” when she grows up.
India’s acting debut in Thor: Love and Thunder wasn’t the first time she appeared on set with her movie star father.
The Australian actor shared a tribute to his daughter last year, posting two photos on Instagram of himself and his daughter on the set of two different Thor films, 11 years apart.
The first photo from 2012 shows the 6-foot-3 Chris, in a suit, gazing lovingly at baby India on the set of Thor: The Dark World.
The second shows Chris hugging his little girl as they film their scene together in the recently released Thor: Love and Thunder.
“Here are two pictures of me and my daughter. One was the first time she was on the set 11 years ago, the other is the last in Thor: Love and Thunder. She is my favorite superhero,” he sweetly wrote in the caption.
India appears alongside Chris as Love in the latest Thor blockbuster.
