Chris Hemsworth as Thor in Thor: Love & Thunder.

Chris Hemsworth is one of the best poster boys in the movie universe. He was best known for playing Kirk's dad in the opening minutes of Star Trek, but his career took off after he starred in the first THOR movie.

During the fourth episode of Limitless, it was discovered that he has a strong genetic pre-disposition to develop Alzheimer's disease as he ages. The memory-losing disease is thought to be caused by the APOE4 gene, which is found in both of his parents. He decided to take a break from acting to be with his family.

Hemswort told Vanity Fair that he wanted to take a break. The things I was contracted to do have been completed. I will be taking a good chunk of time off and just simplify when I return. I want to be with my wife. Learning of his potential health-related future is surprisingly candid, and despite Disney's offer to remove those scenes, he kept them in. I didn't want to overdramatize it and make it into a hokey grab for entertainment, so I was concerned.

Even with this brief retirement, he acknowledged the possibility of coming back to be THOR in the future He said that he would be fine if there was more, but he also said that he would be fine if it was his final one. If I did it again, we would have to close the book. I think it warrants that. I think it would be the finale, but that is not based on anything anyone has told me. I don't know about the birth of a hero, the journey of a hero, and the death of a hero. Who doesn't know?

One of his future roles is in a George Miller film. His comments on working with Miller, who he described as a genius, but not the mad type, are illuminating for what the Australian wants to do for the rest of his acting career. I told my agent that I wanted to work with someone who is kind and collaborative and interesting. A person who is aware of how his energy affects others chooses to have a positive experience. Everyone is having a good time. Some people in that position don't know what they're talking about.
