Chris Hemsworth’s Photo Of Son Divides Fans Over Hand Gesture

While everything looked normal in the shots, a particular photo of the actor’s son has sparked mixed reactions.

Chris Hemsworth has previously spoken about raising grounded children despite his Hollywood fame, noting that he wants them to have an appreciation for “everything.”

Hemsworth gave fans a glimpse into his recent trip to Japan with a series of photos and videos posted on social media.

The Australian actor shared snapshots of himself and his wife, Elsa Pataky, enjoying skiing while their children, India Rose, Sasha, and Tristan, had their own fun on the trip. In the caption, he wrote: “Photo dump from Japan trip.”

One particular image stirred up controversy: a playful moment where one of his sons flashed a middle finger at the camera.

Some followers criticized the gesture, calling it “inappropriate” and “rude” for a child.

One user wrote: “Makes me sad to see. Someone who is this young should not be showing this sign.” Another added, “Nice thing to be teaching kids to give the middle finger.”

A third person commented, “The only thing I dislike… I hope they’re not raising up little entitled brats… Not nice to show that attitude…”

However, others found it amusing, with one user writing: “Despite many people envying this happy home, it remains a wonderful family that continues to stay happy.”

Another person joked: “Gosh, can you just imagine being the son of Thor.”

Hemsworth and his family made the most of their time in Japan, exploring markets, trying on hats, and indulging in local treats.

Their trip included adorable moments with tiny pigs, breathtaking views, and a hot tub snapshot featuring Hemsworth’s abs.

The thrill-seeking family also hit the slopes at Niseko Village in Hokkaido, with the actor sharing an entire post dedicated to their outdoor adventures.

Another update featured his kids, India Rose, Sasha, and Tristan, enjoying snowmobile tows, snowboarding, and skiing.

Hemsworth and Pataky often share glimpses of their family vacations and their children’s impressive athletic skills on social media.

However, despite their Hollywood fame, the couple remains committed to providing their kids with a grounded upbringing.

“I want them to have a great appreciation for everything,” Hemsworth told People Magazine.

Reflecting on his childhood, he credited his parents as heroes, stating: “I grew up with very little money, but my parents were my absolute heroes. They were respectful, kind human beings and operated in a way that was constantly inspiring and nurturing and kind.”

Hemsworth also allows his children to explore their passions, including an early interest in entertainment.

Two of his kids appeared alongside him in “Thor: Love & Thunder (2022),” and all three were fascinated by his stunt work in “Extraction 2.”

In May 2024, his twins joined him and Pataky at the “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” premiere in Australia.

Later, the whole family attended his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, though daughter India skipped photos.

“My kids are endlessly inspiring for so many reasons,” the proud dad said during his acceptance speech.

He continued, “Their ability to live in the moment and to dive into life head first and to have fun and be joyous and playful is a constant reminder that that’s what life’s about. I love you guys.”

Hemsworth and Pataky’s romance began in early 2010 after being introduced by their representatives.

Their relationship moved quickly, and by the end of the year, they tied the knot during the Christmas holidays.

They welcomed their three children, India Rose, Sasha, and Tristan, five years later. While often recognized as Hemsworth’s wife, Pataky is a successful actress in her own right.

She gained fame in Spain with “Al salir de clase” and later reached international audiences through her role in the “Fast & Furious” franchise.

Meanwhile, Marvel is pulling back the curtain on “Avengers: Doomsday” with a live-streamed cast reveal across YouTube and social media, using the film’s official hashtag.

Returning favorites include Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier, and Paul Rudd as Ant-Man.
