Chris Hemsworth recently experienced a painful leg injury while surfing in the inviting waters of Fiji.

The 42-year-old actor took to Instagram on December 23 to share a series of joyful family vacation pictures, one notably displaying a significant cut on his calf, with blood visible both front and back of his right leg.

Unfazed by the mishap, Chris, seen aboard a chartered vessel near the island, flexed his muscles in a playful bodybuilding pose while offering a humorous grimace for the camera. In a video accompanying the post, his brothers, Liam Hemsworth and Luke Hemsworth, along with his 13-year-old daughter India, were also seen embracing the surfing adventure. Chris shares India, along with twin sons Sasha and Tristan, 11, with his wife, Elsa Pataky.

The collection of images further showcased the family indulging in various thrilling activities: Chris expertly surfing Fiji’s imposing waves, walking the beach with India, who held a surfboard, enjoying a serene sunset boat excursion with one of his sons, sharing tender moments with Pataky, 49, and a heartwarming picture of Chris’ father, Craig Hemsworth, with his three sons.

Earlier this year, Chris shared glimpses of another beach getaway with Elsa Pataky and their children. “A bit of sun and fun in Spain 🇪🇸,” the 39-year-old actor captioned an Instagram post on July 11, where both he and Pataky, 46, proudly displayed their stunning physiques under the sunny sky.

Fans were quick to show their concern for the Thor: Love and Thunder star, with one writing in the comments section, “Wait, just noticed: Your leg ok?” and another writing, “What happened to Chris’s calves 🥺?”

Hemsworth has spoken publicly in the past about his fearless approach to surfing, telling The Hollywood Reporter in August that he wanted to tackle a 40-foot wave while filming his National Geographic series Limitless: Live Better Now. “We couldn’t get it through the ranks. The risk assessment, basically, was too far gone, so I ended up climbing a 200-meter dam wall [instead]. They both have a fair amount of risk attached to them, but it got past the risk assessment team,” Chris said at the time. “There definitely was [concern from above]: ‘No, we need him to go off and shoot Thor next. We can’t have him drown while filming a big wave episode.”

Chris’ Fiji post comes after he recently shone a light on his personal life. During the December 15 episode of the “On Purpose With Jay Shetty” podcast, Chris chatted about happy unions while reflecting on his 15-year marriage to Pataky. “Having fun,” Chris pinpointed as a key ingredient before elaborating on his experiences. “Both having an adventurous spirit, making time for one another. The complicated times have been when it’s been all work, all kids, and all of a sudden.”

While Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky’s whirlwind romance was always something special, their relationship continued to bloom after they welcomed their three children. The Marvel star and the model tied the knot in 2010 after less than a year of dating. Two years later, they became a family of three with the birth of their daughter, India, […]

He continued, “The us in the relationship is … sort of the non-existent, you’re just kind of managing a household or the work family schedule and elsewhere will be off from work, and then I’ll be off from work and then it’s chaos, so sort of removing [ourselves] from all of that and just having time for the two of us and making space for each other rather than the rest of the world that can be so all consuming.”

Chris concluded, “You always get asked when you are promoting these big films, like, so do you guys hang out on set and like, do you guys hang out and like, are you all friends? And everyone sort of nods enthusiastically. But the truth is no one has seen each other outside of work.”
