“It’s not a pre-deterministic gene, but it’s a strong predictor,” Hemsworth revealed. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair. “Ten years ago, I think it was seen as a deciding factor.”

And ever since we finished the show, I’ve been completing the things that I was already contracted to do. Now when I finish this tour this week, I’m going home and I’m going to have a big part of the vacation and just simpler. Be with the kids.” And be with my wife.”
