Has anyone else noticed that Elsa Pataky has taken it down a notch since Fast & Furious 6 was released? She’s still getting pap’d and Chris Hemsworth gets pap’d every now and then, but it’s not the steady barrage of candid photos that we were getting a month ago. That’s interesting (to me). I actually kind of miss seeing Chris Hemsworth’s crazy arms carrying his baby girl like she’s light as a feather. So in case you miss Elsa and her whole “deal,” she made sure to give an interview to Us Weekly about… endangered animals. And India Rose. And motherhood. Because The Jennifer Garner Model is nothing to be scoffed at.
Elsa Pataky made a rare public appearance when she decided to attend the Oceana Beach House Party to celebrate World Oceans Day in Santa Monica, Calif., on Saturday, June 8. Thirteen months after giving birth to daughter India (with Chris Hemsworth, her husband of two years), the Fast & Furious 6 actress admitted she doesn’t often leave home without her famous family.
“Every mom knows that being a mom is difficult,” the Spanish star told Us Weekly. “This was really convenient because we live really close.” Pataky added that her hubby, 29, was taking care of India so she could attend the event and support a cause that’s near and dear to her heart.
In fact, becoming a mother amplified Pataky’s passion for preserving the earth. “You become more sensitive about a lot of things. With things like this, the ocean, you want to protect it for your kid to be able to see the world the way I saw it. That’s important for them to not lose it,” she explained. “There are so many animals endangered now in the ocean; it’ll be sad she won’t enjoy all those things.”
Like Hemsworth (an avid surfer who hails from Australia), India is happiest near the water. “She loves being at the beach,” Pataky, 36, told Us. “And she loves little dogs and all animals. I like having her around nature.”
Pataky can’t believe how quickly her mini-me is growing up. “She’s almost walking, and she says, ‘mama’ and ‘papa,” she revealed. When asked if she’s ready to give India a younger sibling, Pataky smiled and replied, “We’ll see!”
A “rare public appearance”??? This girl goes to the opening of an envelope!!!
Would you mind if she and Chris had another baby? I wouldn’t. But that’s because Chris doesn’t even make my Top 20 Forever Dongs. Sure, I like his arms and everything, but I don’t have strong feelings about Chris and Elsa together. Surely Chris realizes that “devoted family man” is a great image for a guy breaking out in Hollywood in a big way? I think Chris knows Elsa’s worth.

“rare public appearance” bwhahaha! How much did she pay Us to get this story published?
I actually would like to see Chris step away from the jr Afflecks image. Nothing too bad, but maybe a little shake up wouldn’t hurt.
Chris comes off much better than BenA. He’s the star AND he’s a hands-on dad. Even right now he is in the middle of filming, but he stayed home w the kid so that Elsa could parade her butt around town (no next project? lets talk about baby #2!). And when he’s not filming, he’s got that baby in his arms all the time. Strong AND soft, successful AND domestic. Great PR. And a great man *sigh*
Yes, you’re right! If Elsa isn’t pegnant now I think she will be soon. No new projects lined up, it makes sense.
Oh, I don’t want him going off the rails or anything. I don’t know I guess all the pap shots are so generic now, I’d like to see something different.
Shirtless. That’s what we’re missing. Shirtless Chris.
I really dont think Wagon wants baby #2, at least right now, but Motherhood Lifestyle Industrial complex might become her last resort if all the coattail riding doesnt pay off professionally.
Maybe there can be oil involved too? Pretty please?
I’m sure there’s still some left at Thornfield Manor, we’ll ask Miss Jane.
Nothing quite gets my attention like the mention of a shirtless, oiled CHarms. I am here with a fresh batch of lavender oil, darlings. Where shall we begin?
Lets start at the top and slowly work our way down?
We will definitely be going down… most definitely.
Why is she wearing a sparkly nightie? Not a great choice for the ‘Mother Earth’ image she’s trying to project.
Way to start the speculation that she and Chris are trying for baby #2 though! Props for strategic coyness.
UGH her hair makes me crazy, like she had a bad day and took the scissors to it
Agreed, I hate her hair.
Ugh! Me too. It’s like an unnecessary comb over. Hideous.
You are such a try-hard, lady….I can smell it from here
+1. “every mom knows being a mom is hard”. Really, dear, no one put a gun to your head and made you have a child. I hate “new” parents like this. How much positive reinforcement does she need?
She may be annoying, but she has a beautiful face.
*pours some tea and waits for miss Jane…*
We often talk about why Chemboy goes for all the famewh0ring, but I think Kaiser’s assessment is right on the money.
Maybe. The thing is, he doesnt need it. She does, desperately.
I just don’t understand why this woman is now getting so much face time on C/B. If it wasn’t for Hemsworth most people wouldn’t know who she was.
We don’t ned to hear from another celebrity about how difficult child rearing is; we know. We’ve heard it a million times; it’s becoming redundant. This woman is bringing nothing new or exciting to the table. The best thing about her is her better half.
Thank you VReal. I’m so sick of pampered people talking about how difficult things are.
Especially when the father seems to be doing more than half the parenting, despite being the only one with an actual job.
@ bluhare :
That’s not to say her life isn’t challenging in other ways. Maybe her husband ignores her, maybe the in-laws give her a hard time and don’t accept her. That’s nasty even when you live in a big beautiful house. But it ain’t tough the way other people’s lives are tough. She is pampered. That’s all I’m saying.
I’m here, darling.
I absolutely adore her dress and she looks lovely in it.
If this is not sarcasm, then I am looking for my shank
My favourite part is telling us that Chemboy “hails from Australia” like he’s the lesser known of the two.
But it also gave us the visual of Chemboy surfing… think about it!!!
Would you prefer to stick with your mental image or see actual photos of Chris surfing? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2269495/Liam-Chris-Hemsworth-brotherly-bonding-hit-waves-family-holiday.html
Thank you Lucrezia – a thousand times thank you.
I just wish her and Chris were walking and one of those trapdoors just opened up like in Total Black Out under her.
Hey, they’re soft at the bottom!
How come male actors are never asked the same questions when they become a father? How sexist and boring.
Actually Chris was asked about fatherhood at a recent car expo (he’s gonna be revving up press for RUSH), and he said something about howhe and his wife make schedule adjustments, and how it changes the perspective and priorities etc…snoozeville. He needs to learn how to give a better sound bite.
I just need to clarify because Fanty is repulsed by the idea of him solo at a car show and won’t let me play with him if that were true. It was the XBox launch party at E3 which was right next door to where he is filming. E3 is almost at Comic Con level of film promotion because so many films are paired with a video game launch.
But yes, the photo next to the car was definitely for Rush promotion.
Cars, video games…what matters is that he was there, and he talked and there was a video and his voice is so delicious…
Actually, Anna m’dear, I will tell you why this is of significance to me; Mr. Rochester had a professional badge for E3 and when he asked if there were any of the launch parties I wanted to attend, I responded with something akin to “what on earth would I do at one of the launch parties?” Had I know the answer might have been “CHemboy”, I would have tarted up a bit and left tread-marks making my way to the Xbox party.
Now, if you will excuse me, I must resume smacking my head against my desk.
That, my dear, is so unintentionally hilarious. I am chuckling and sympathizing at the same time.
Would i mind if they have another kid?
Uh , no?
Me either. I don’t want to have any more so if she could have another one, that will let me off the hook when he moves in with me.
Locking Mr. Rochester up with Bertha, are you? Or is this another one of your “understandings” between each other. We all know how much Mr. R needs you. He knows your fingers, for God’s sake. Sigh. Don’t break Mr. Rochester before I get to him, Jane.
(I wish I had thought of *your* name before, as Jane Eyre is my all time favorite novel, along with Wuthering Heights-but Mr. Rochester is my favorite leading man of the two)
@ Virgilia – here’s a secret that Mrs. Eyre will never own up to, but this one time, I overheard her threatening to send Mr. R back on the next boat to Martinique if he didn’t get back in line. He straightened up real quick. I think that’s her go-to threat whenever he gets het up about all of the guests romping around the manor.
Speaking of Jane Eyre, have you read any Jean Rhys?
I will let you both in on a little secret – having to answer to a blind cripple on certain matters has its advantages. Mr. Rochester thinks I am giving music lessons. I informed him to get a really good performance out of them, many times we must go well into the night. He is a bit confused as to why they are not making any progress as he says all he hears is groaning and yelling all night long. Bless him.
As for Bertha, well, that one worked my last nerve a while ago.
VirgCor – ah, had I not turned Thornfield into a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, I may be inclined to turn the title over to you but as it is, well, we must think of the others, darling.
And as for straightening up, ProBeer, most do when I crack the whip…
@ j.eyre
Just don’t break his heart, Miss Jane, otherwise I’ll send Blanche and St.John over to show him what his naughty elf has been doing when apart from him.
I like her, I think she’s pretty and charming. But for the love of all that’s holy..GROW YOUR HAIR OUT WOMAN. That haircut is awful. And I just love Thor. (No- not Chris- we call him Thor around here).
I think she looked better with longer hair, but I think she probably did it because it’s easier to take care of shorter hair when you have a baby at home. I have several girlfriends who chopped off their hair when they had kids. I just put mine up in a ponytail, but I can see the allure of shorter hair.
I get a kick out of how much she loooooves the camera
Sure. Have another baby. As long as we get to see Thor carrying it
Rare appearance??!? She seems to be everywhere; I don’t care one way or the other, but she seems to think that reinventing herself will make her less of a famewhore. I wonder if she/they ever run into Brody and Martinez when out and about in Hollywood? Now,that would be interesting!
My question is, how did he meet the biggest famewhore there is ( who barely even has a career, all the others at least had some name recognition/films that we sorta recognized them from), marry her, and knock her up. I don’t get it.
I love her haircut and think they are a very beautiful family. She is very soft and lovely with a gorgeous face and figure. Of course, Chris is Thor after all.
I’m so tired of the old narrative that becoming a mother suddenly means you become the most sensitive and enlightened Daughter of Gaia that ever was. Frankly I think it’s sad that she felt she had to reproduce in order to give a damn about the world around her, especially since it comes from the selfish place of making the world better for HER daughter.
