While Hemsworth told Vanity Fair he’s “not talking about retiring by any means,” our insider says it looks a whole lot like he’s heading in that direction.
Hemsworth, 39, discovered he’s at high risk for the disease while filming his National Geographic and Disney+ docuseries, “Limitless.” He recently told the glossy about “the intensity [of] navigating” the test results last November, and emphasized it’s not a diagnosis — just a sign that the neurodegenerative disease is more likely to be in his future than it is for most people.
“Most of us, we like to avoid speaking about death,” he said. “Then to all of a sudden be told some big indicators are actually pointing toHemsworth emphasized that it’s not a diagnosis for Alzheimer’s.Hemsworth said learning that he’s “eight to 10 times more likely” to battle Alzheimer’s, “triggered something in me to want to take some time off.”
“I’ve been completing the things I was already contracted to do,” he said, adding that he plans to “go home and… to have a good chunk of time off and just simplify.Hemsworth shares three children – India, 10, and twin Tristan and Sasha, 9 – with wife Elsa Pataky. A rep for the actor did not comment.
It would be a terrifying prognosis. BUT in the meantime earn money and do what you love, while you can. Staying active and memorizing lines will actually go a long way to postpone the onset.
It’s a very sobering thought. It takes time to process. Don’t minimize someone who is dealing with a very scary risk factor. He needs to take time to learn what he can do lower his risk. Give him the space he needs to do that.
That test didn't say he would definitely get alzheimers to said his risk was somewhat higher. Good grief
Why the hell would you stop living your life because of something that may or may not ever happen? What p*ssy. My grandmother had Alzheimer's and she didn't stop living her life and neither will I.
AngeldebritoOk So, he is going to stop living because of a risk?
Sorry but alot of ppl will test for that..What's his problem!

Oh come on
Fewer. (Learn the difference between 'fewer' and 'less.')
Should be “fewer” not “less.”
