Here are some new photos of your boyfriend Chris Hemsworth and his wife and daughter. They were grocery shopping at Whole Foods on Monday. Does it strike anyone else that Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky are becoming the new Garner-Afflecks? It seems like we get at least two “happy family” photo-ops from the Hemsworth-Patakys every week lately, and of course beautiful baby India Rose is always in tow. Elsa knows well enough that no one cares about her and that if she holds the baby, no one will buy the photographs. So Chris is always holding his baby girl, and the photos sell because ladies love nothing more than a giant dude with amazing arms cradling his daughter.
The Hemsworth-Pataky game might even be superior to the Garner-Affleck game because A) Chris always seems more engaged with India, B) because Elsa and Chris genuinely seem like hippie-beach types who aren’t angling for some Oscar campaign and C) because the family unit is always seen as “whole”. So many of the Garner-Affleck photo-ops are just of Jennifer Garner and the girls. The Hemsworth-Pataky photo-ops are always of Elsa, Chris and India, a tight, contained family unit.
I do wonder if these photo-ops have a purpose for Chris and Elsa. I mean, it’s not like Chris is some Kellan Lutz or something – Chris’s career is going like gangbusters with a slew of big-budget projects already filmed or in pre-production. I’m just saying, it’s not like he NEEDS to be featured in People Magazine under the “Celebrity Parents: Just Like Us!” banner. But maybe this is a longer and more intricate game. Chris wants to be seen as a professional capable of handling big-budget films AND he wants to be seen as a dedicated family man. It’s a good image. It works for him.

*sits down and butters a crumpet*
Morning, all!
One lady’s morning is another’s evening. 🙂 Hello T.Fanty!
I like Hemsworth. I think he’s a good bloke, so i hope there isn’t some kind of ‘family PR’ afoot. I must be getting soft with my flu from hell. Oh please let there be a Lohan post or something that lets me unleash my vitriol.
Evenin! Go read the Shia Laboeieif post. That should harden your heart.
*waves at Miss J*
So I finally got around to watching Thor …
T. Fanty, I now totally understand the love you have for Hemsworth. All this time I’ve been looking at pictures thinking he’s nothing but a big piece of meat (giggity).
I am now happily corrected 🙂
Morning, Miss Amelia!
Oh, you have me mistaken. I’m just settling down in anticipation of the shenanigans between Miss Kiki and J.Eyre (whose triumphant return I expect today). The Hemsworth boys are fine – I’m a cumberwench myself. Thor is a fun movie, though!
Ah, you have impeccable taste, T.Fanty 🙂
I’ll be sure to take cover when Cumberbatch’s Star Trek promo kicks off. I’m expecting mess from you and Eve.
I’m not entirely sure which camp I fall into. I’m such a fickle celebitch jumping from bloke to bloke 😉 Starting to see the appeal of Hiddleston (naivety aside). But I’m not a Hiddlestoner. I don’t think I’ve fulfilled the stalking requirements yet.
I find hemsworth to be fun to look at. Thor is fun, but i am hoping Thor 2 might have a bit more meat to it.
Beachy hippie is a lifestyle I could embrace.
Yes, you might want to batten down the hatches, come May. Eve may shank formidably, but together, EsCon and I are better. At what, you may ask?
Everything.
Tfanty, I am sharpening my shanks and look forward to what is to come.
Meanwhile, I am thinking about changing my CB name to “Crumpets and Crotchshots.” What do you think?
Amelia, stalking requirements are getting to be very strict in the Hiddlestoner camp. You will need multiple computers, hefty travel funds, lots and lots ols old socks, and stamina. I have heard the latest thing is to keep that boy in tip top shape by chasing him on his daily run.
Cumberbatch fandom comes with crumpets, Cardigans, and excellent mocha.
@ Miss J/ C&C: The Cumberwenches are also adept at producing our own socks.
Crumpets, cardigans, mocha and socks?
Well, that’s all the motivation I need (on top of the Sherlock neck p0rn) to join the leagues of Cumberwenches.
Pfffft. Loki is so yesterday evening 🙂
Although considering the already sizeable claims made on Cumberbatch (and the fact that Eve gets stabby) I’ll be in the corner providing scones and refreshments during the Star Trek promo. What can I say – I’m a team player.
As for Dr Who –
HOMFG!!! David Tennant and Rose are going to make an appearance in the 50th anniversary episode!!
Ah, many thanks T.Fanty. Just returned from that post. I feel better already 🙂
No! I like you sweet and not snarky!
Did you watch the new Doctor episode yet?
I need a lot more coffee before venturing there…..
*thread jack* OMG I am SO happy that the Doctor is back!!! *twirls*
morning, he is so hot.. but I could have done without the wife. I think Kaiser throws those pictures in on purpose. they have a cute little girl though
I love me some C.Hemsworth; if only I could find a way to get rid of that tacky arm piece that keeps following him around. The baby can stay.
Butters a crumpet?! Sorry, dirty mind at work! 😛
Dirty minds are the best!
LOL LOVE your username! 😀
*preens and poses* it’s new. I’m trying it out. I think it sums up my priorities on CB….
LOL It suites you well and is very nice. I’d just use whatever last name of the man I was craving at the moment. Eve calls me Jenna Hardy, but it’s Jenna Urban now. -sigh- Such a fickle bitch, am I.
Good Morrow, T.Fanty! I have been afflicted with a computer virus & haven’t been here for days. It seems to be better now but I don’t know if the magic elves & faeries who live in the computer Tower have had enough fun & mischief yet. We’ll see about that.
Thank you so much for reminding me & Eve that we are to be taken seriously in the Cumber Games. Together, we are a CumberWall of Pain. (Strangely, I still think of Eve as a Sister Wife even after she shanked me so gleefully.)
There have been lots of new pics of our Ben in the last several days, as they are back to filming Sherlock. He looks so skinny again! I rather liked the Christopher Tietjens look & I’ll bet you did too. 😉 But when is he not delicious?
Dammit! I shouldn’t hijack a thread on a day when I have *so* much work to do! That said…
@ Miss J/C&C: LOVE the new user name!
@ Miss Jenna: Me too! While I generally agree with a comment I once read that Matt Smith has a head like a pool table, I do get quite hot for the doctor when he gets all authoritarian, and “do you know who I am?” to his enemies. It was a good episode, and the new girl isn’t annoying me too much, which is always a bonus.
@ Miss EsCon: I didn’t realize you had been absent, being away myself (went to a conference and had an advance screening of Joss Whedon’s Much Ado – squee!). I’m glad your computer is feeling better. Perhaps you had better lay off the dubious fanfic websites. I concur on skinny BC. I want to pop him down in front of the fire and feed him teacakes until he is a little more filled out. I also like him as a ginge, too. That said, new Sherlock coming our way is never a bad thing.
Seeing as I’ve now entirely hijacked this thread, I want to ask the geekdom of CBitchy whether anyone has heard of Mike Carey’s graphic novel/comic book series? Apparently, he did Sandman with Neil Gaiman (sp?). I’m looking for info on one of them.
Yeah, Matt Smith doesn’t do anything for me but when he had his hair all messy and was all, ‘Say my name, bitch’ (not in those words per say) he looked adorbs. At least someone I could make the Tardis rock with. Ahem.
Very well then: behold my new, not very secret, evil identity!
Miss J, is that you?! Oh how I’ve missed your thoughts and sass!
Marty! Yes, it is me, making my priorities in life very, very clear I deed!
Totally adorable – and hot!
That is one very cute baby. Do you think Elsa lets the paps know when they are shopping?
Mmmm crumpets. I like my crumpets.
He is really manly beautiful and that babygirl is too cute.
After growing up watching him on Home and Away where his character had at least three paternity scandals, to see him happy with a baby is actually kind of funny.
LOL
Makes you all warm & fuzzy! Such a cute couple and gorgeous baby!
Now there’s a nice piece of ham….
I really like his style btw. manly yet adorable.
Of course it is arranged, but arranged well. If I call out the ladies who do it, I have to call him out too, super hot or not.
My guess is he is angling for a wider range of roles. He’s successful yes, but he is strictly “action guy (!)”. It’s the movies, not so much him. He will be looking to branch out or he will get pigeon holed.
He’s doing all of the right things in signing up for a lot of work and keeping himself visible. I dunno if I see him growing out of the action roles though– he seems to be firmly lodged in that niche.
He is a bit too big and bulky, like Dwayne Johnson to be believable in many more “serious” roles. He is not hurting financially so no tears for him.
No tears for any of them. They are all overpaid. I would like this fate if it were mine, of course.
I think a lot of it is arranged, but as you said, arranged well. Like Naomi Watts and Liev Schrieber and their children seem to be papepd all the time. Is it demand, or a combination of making yourself available and demand?
At least with Chris he actually has projects so it looks less ovbvious if he or Elsa are making sure they get papped.
Are they wearing pants made of some same fabric? Lol
Is there anything sexier than a hottie like him holding his chunky, adorable baby? (To me at least!) She won the lottery
I love him. I watched red dawn a few weeks ago and fell in love- his bright blue eyes and the scene where he gives a speech being all patriotic….swoon! I prefer him with short hair though, not longer like in Thor. I love seeing photos of him holding his baby. But I could do without the wife, she looks like she is Chris’s mom!
Anyway, he’s now in my top 3 along with Ian Harding and Channing Tatum.
Although I realize this post is not about Kellan Lutz -who also has beautiful muscled arms like Hemsworth- I was wondering what happened to Lutz. How is his career coming? He is much to good of an actor to fade away. Plus he is so charming as well. Lutz can charm the hell out of lesbian nun if he wanted to.
HA! Lesbian nuns just don’t get the attention they deserve nowadays….
I don’t know. I presumed that lesbian nuns existed only as a reaction to Kellan Lutz.
Dammit T! I just choked on my coffee! Lol
HA! Brava, Fanty! I couldn’t pick Kellan Lutz out of a line-up, but whatever he may have done for the nun community is fine by me.
(When I escaped, the Sisters were just taking down their posters of Tom Cruise.)
Don’t worry about me, I’ll just be sitting here. Internally screaming. Because good lord.
What do you mean?
I always thought it was a bit odd that he married Elsa within months of meeting right when he was on the cusp of fame.
Chris has a bit of famewhore in him too. He was on Dancing with the Stars Australia. His dancing was …. interesting.
I find the fact they were set up by their managers and the quick courtship strange too. He’s hot but I’m not as ga ga over him because of it.
Actually it was a dialect coach. Looks like the same one through whom Elsa met Adrien Brody a few years back.
ALWAYS. 😉
Eh. As much as I love me some Thor, he and his wife are getting annoying with the ‘candid’ family outings. His pretty face and baby are stretching it out for me though.
He gets papped almost every single day. Where’s the mystery?!
He is delicious baby no baby I don’t care. YUM!!!!!
That’s it—I want that little India Rose. What a darling little sweetheart she is.
I may have to find a smaller butterfly net (than the one I use to stalk Cumby) & try to scoop her up.
I’m sure Cumby would loan you his baby-net. You know he has one.
Of course he does, Fanty! A most excellent plan.
I’M TELLING EVE!!! LOL
No need. She knows already. She is all-seeing, all knowing. All one has to do is think the name “Eve” & *Poof!* Here she is!
Shhhhhhh.
Is it like the Beetlejuice summons? If so: Eve, Eve, EVE!!! lol
*poof*
Is his baby really that small or is he really that big! Lol. She doesn’t look like she is growing. She is so tiny in his arms. I only find him attractive when he his Thor. He looks weird in the face in real life.
And maybe the pap shots are for Elsa, she is not famous here or have that much of a career in the US. The only thing I’ve seen her in is Fast & the Furious 5 and that was like in 2011.
Her full time job now seems to be person who gets the way of CB readers view when they are drooling over Chris. Ha.
The funniest pictures of them were from the other day when she was hugging on him and he was just messing with his phone around her, totally not paying attention.
All these pap shots are starting to be a turn off for me, oh well I still have Tom Hardy!
Yeah bc she was pouting and angling for the paps’ attention and he couldnt care less. Sigh… Sorry, I like my Fantasy Hemsworth to remain pure and perfect, reality be damned. Blame the fame-hungry wife. I am so mean…
^ All of this.
But see http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/04/01/article-2302151-19079F5E000005DC-866_634x950.jpg ? He still cares…
If you look closely he’s actually not looking at her, he’s checking his phone. That part is just cropped out a bit on the upper left hand corner.
Mind -> blown. Sad. Going back to my fantasy world of Perfect Hems: he was probably using the iphone to look up whatever was needed to make the wife stop pouting (yes, my delusions are great).
No speculation as to why neither of them is wearing a wedding ring? Not even just for fun? Surely we can start some nasty rumors of how we will soon be rid of Remora?
I actually did notice that! I just didn’t want to get my hopes up because I’ve seen him papped without his ring a few times before.
I think it’s silly to assign any negative meaning to the no-ring thing even out of wishful thinking, when the said no-ring sighting takes place at a ‘perfect family’ photo-op. Plus I just get that Hems vibe that he mates for life…which makes me happy and sad at once.
@j.eyre Remora=excellent name choice. My friend dubbed her Wagon – ie, she’s hitched her wagon to him at the right time. Also, I have seen Tacky Pataky on here, which I enjoyed tremendously.
He looks mildly irked in these photos, but he’s scrumptious nonetheless. I have a thing for…rather large men. But, his wife is cramping my perving fantasies, because I keep hearing all these bad things about her. I hope they aren’t true, because the part of me that’s crushing on him wants him to be happy, because otherwise I might come off as one of the psycho bitches in a bad 80s thriller.
(tehpreciousyess)
That child is adorable and big men who show real love to their small kids win all the time 🙂
She’s so cute. I wanna cuddle with them both. Honestly these pap photos make me like him. I hated Thor and although he was okay acting wise, the movie just sucked. But these photos are so stinking cute and he’s so sweet with her.
Perhaps the reason he’s always holding the baby is simply because he loves her and enjoys carrying her. I don’t see why there always needs to be some underlying scheme behind these things.
This just gave me the world’s largest lady b0ner…
Baby girl looks like her dad – and both are adorable!
I think – SADLY – baby looks like mom. Wish I could see what you see.
