Why Chris Hemsworth 'needed' to move Elsa to Australia

Chris Hemsworth relocated his family to Byron Bay back in 2015, but the actor has admitted it wasn't totally smooth-sailing as he needed to convince his wife, Elsa Pataky, first.

The actor spoke about his quest to convince his Spanish model wife to move Down Under in a recent interview with BW magazine.

"I just needed to show it to her," Chris told the publication. "I just needed to bring her here and then it was hard to get her to leave."

Prior to their move to Australia, Chris and Elsa were based in Los Angeles but the Aussie actor soon realised it just wasn't for them.

"LA in particular can be pretty suffocating and overwhelming in the sense that everyone you meet is somehow involved in the entertainment industry," he admitted to the magazine.

The 33-year-old gushed about the 'laid-back, warm, welcoming attitude' many Aussies have and revealed he wants his three children to 'be influenced by that sort of attitude'.

It seems Byron Bay is well and truly home for the Hemsworths now because even during the down-time on Chris and Elsa's schedules they tend to stay put.

The couple live in a lush $7 million pad on the coast of northern NSW.
