Chris Hemsworth has had his life turned upside down since discovering he could be susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease.
The 40-year-old Hollywood hunk was given the shock diagnosis after taking a genetic test alongside Chris Hemsworth in the National Geographic documentary series Limitless last year.
The test showed he has two copies of the gene APOE e4, which is linked to an increased risk of the debilitating disease.
“You constantly think you’re going to live forever, especially as a young individual. When I was told that this could be the thing that could get you out, it was like, whoa – it kind of confused me,” Hemsworth said on the show.
After the test, Chris made changes to his already extensive exercise routines and is now focusing more on his brain health.
