How Old Is Chris Hemsworth Dad

So, you’ve been scrolling through Instagram, seen a photo of Chris Hemsworth—all Thor-like, super-chiseled, and ridiculously smiley—and then your eyes shift to the man standing next to him. The one with the salt-and-pepper beard, the warm eyes, and that same easy grin. And a question pops into your head: How old is Chris Hemsworth’s dad? I mean, the guy clearly passed down some kind of human-shaped superpower, right?

Well, grab your coffee—or your kale smoothie, you absolute health god—because the answer is delightfully simple. Chris’s dad, Craig Hemsworth, was born in 1951. That makes him 72 years old as of 2024. Yes, 72. And if you’re thinking, “Wait, my uncle is 72 and he complains about his back when he bends over for the remote,” you’re not wrong. But Craig? He’s the guy who still walks around like he’s about to star in a sequel to Thor—minus the cape, but with all the dad-joke energy.

Craig Hemsworth is a social-services counselor by trade, so he’s not exactly hitting the gym alongside his sons for a living. But here’s the hilarious twist: between Chris, Liam, and Luke, the Hemsworth genes are so strong they should be patented. Craig looks like a distinguished, slightly less jacked version of his sons—proof that aging gracefully is a real thing when your bloodline has “Viking god” written into the small print. (I’d ask for his skincare routine, but I’m pretty sure it’s just “being Australian and smiling a lot.”)

So next time you see a photo of the Hemsworth clan, don’t worry about the math. Craig is 72, he’s still rocking that smile, and he’s probably the one behind the camera lovingly reminding Chris to stand up straight, mate. And honestly? That’s the kind of dad energy we could all use. Because whether you’re 27 or 72, family is the real superhero origin story. And that’s something to smile about.
