Chris Hemsworth Recounts The Moment Elsa Pataky Saved His Life

Although he’s a superhero on screen, Chris Hemsworth required a little saving of his own on a recent trek through the the Himalayas.

Hemsworth’s savior? His wife Elsa Pataky.

In an interview with news.com.au, the Thor actor explained that Pataky had come to his rescue while he was suffering severe altitude sickness on a three-day hike of the Himalayan mountains.

Hemsworth’s body was struggling to acclimatise when he reached a few thousand metres above sea level.

“I started becoming really short of breath, I had fluid in my lungs and I was trying to ignore it. I was going to sleep and my wife listened to me breathe, she could hear it in my chest, and said, ‘I think something is wrong.’ I was like, ‘I am fine, I am fine, just go to sleep,” he recounted.
