Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky's first child, India Rose, was born on May 11, 2012. The couple had a pretty special reason behind the name of their daughter, with the actor revealing to USA Today in 2012, "We love the country and love the name."
From day one, Chris has been an enthusiastic girl dad and cited his own mother for her influence on his views regarding fatherhood. "Coming from a family of three boys, my mother was very much a feminist. When we would call each other 'girls,' she would say, 'What is wrong with a girl?' Girls can be strong and you have to respect that," he told the outlet.
While not much is known about India's interests and personality, Chris has shared snippets of life with his daughter on Instagram, which give a little bit of insight into what she likes. In July 2021, the actor posted a video of India skateboarding in a hilly park, followed by another video of her riding a small horse. Much like her father, she seems to enjoy the outdoors and plenty of fun, physical activities.
Outside of the typical fun activities she does with her dad, India also helps to make the world more environmentally friendly, the actor telling GQ Australia in 2018, "When my daughter picks up a bit of plastic on the beach, she's like, 'Yeah, that kills animals. Doesn't it, Dad?' This generation is where we're gonna see real change and that's exciting."
