<p>&#8220;Thor&#8221; actor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/natalie-portman-says-thor-star-dumped-his-carnivore-diet-before-kiss-scene-because-im-vegan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Hemsworth</a> has been very busy in recent years — but he plans to take fewer roles in the future due to the results of some genetic tests he had done late last year.</p>
<p>Hemsworth, 39, underwent a <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/chris-hemsworth-confronts-mortality-after-discovering-genetic-predisposition-for-alzheimers-disease/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">series of tests</a> for his National Geographic and Disney+ docuseries &#8220;Limitless&#8221; — and learned that because he had inherited two copies of the APOE4 gene (one each from his mother and his father), he was at greater risk of developing Alzheimer&#8217;s disease than most people.</p>
<p>According to a <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/04/02/chris-hemsworth-taking-acting-break-after-alzheimers-risk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published Sunday at entertainment site Page Six, a source close to the Australian actor said that after he wraps his current projects — which include a Hulk Hogan biopic and his next appearance as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — he plans to slow down and make the most of his time with family while his kids are still young.</p>
<p>Hemsworth himself hinted at such a move in a Vanity Fair <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/11/chris-hemsworth-exclusive-interview-alzheimers-limitless" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> published last November, just a short time after he had learned the results of the genetic tests.</p>
<p>&#8220;Doing an episode on death and facing your own mortality made me go, &#8216;Oh God, I&#8217;m not ready to go yet.&#8217; I want to sit and be in this space with a greater sense of stillness and gratitude,&#8221; Hemsworth explained at the time. &#8220;And then you start talking about kids and family and going, &#8216;Oh my God, they&#8217;re getting older, they&#8217;re growing up and I keep slapping another movie on top of another movie.&#8217; Before you know it, they&#8217;re 18 and they&#8217;ve moved out of house, and I missed the window.&#8221;</p>
<p class="paywall">&#8220;It really triggered something in me to want to take some time off. And since we finished the show, I&#8217;ve been completing the things I was already contracted to do. Now when I finish this tour this week, I&#8217;m going home and I&#8217;m going to have a good chunk of time off and just simplify. Be with the kids, be with my wife,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Hemsworth made sure to drive home the point that he had not been given a hard diagnosis of the progressive condition — only that he had been told he had a higher-than-normal chance of developing the disease later in life.</p>
