Elsa Pataky revealed her initial doubts about her marriage to Chris Hemsworth in a candid 2018 interview that has recently resurfaced.
The couple, who were set up by their agent in 2010, married within just three months – a whirlwind romance that often portends doom for celebrities but turned out to be an opportunity to strengthen their love and grow together.
“It was beautiful at first,” Pataky, 47, said Vogue Australia.
“When I met him, he was not known at all and I grew with him and experienced all his successes and changes, and then he became so big and I shared that too.”
Pataky talked about the unique challenges that come with transitioning from obscurity to fame, especially when it comes to dealing with the pressures of marriage and raising children.

‘We did everything very quickly, I don’t know how we survived as a couple. We got married and had children a year later,” she said.
‘It puts a lot of pressure on a marriage, but we came out well because there is a lot of love between us and we are very strong personalities but love each other so much. We make sure it works.’
Hemsworth, known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has also spoken about their direct connection.

“My wife and I fell in love, had kids, didn’t really see each other for a few years and then fell in love again,” he said, acknowledging the strain of balancing a thriving career with a family life.
