Chris Hemsworth, well-known for his iconic role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was recently honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. During the acceptance speech, Hemsworth paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Elsa Pataky.

“I want to say thank you to my beautiful wife, who has been here for my entire career basically by my side, endlessly encouraging and supportive,” Hemsworth said of the Spanish actress. “And it doesn’t get lost on me that she put aside her own dreams in order to support mine and, again, [I am] forever in your debt.”
