In 2015, Hemsworth packed up and moved back to Australia with his wife, Elsa, daughter India, 7, and twin 6-year-old boys Tristan and Sasha.

"There's not a single person [in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia] that I interact with, or close friends of mine, that are really in the industry and so that's hugely refreshing," the actor said. "It's great for my kids and my wife."
