Power couples Elsa Pataky and Chris Hemsworth share a beautiful bond. The couple met back in 2010 and, after a whirlwind romance, soon got hitched. Moreover, Pataky and Hemsworth are outstanding role models to their three kids with their commitment to fitness and an active lifestyle. However, in a recent interview, the Spanish actress revealed some fears about aging and fitness. 

Earlier, MARCA, a Spanish daily newspaper, brought an excerpt from an exclusive interview of Pataky with Elle Magazine. The gorgeous actress dwelled on topics like health and fitness. Moreover, she spoke about “one of her greatest fears”.

The ‘Al Salir de Clase’ heroine wears many hats; she is a wonderful mother, an entrepreneur, and a model. Furthermore, the 47-year-old also launched her own beauty line ‘Purely Byron,’ which uses botanicals to improve the skin game. The active wife of the MCU hero is also a fitness enthusiast like her husband.

In the Elle interview, Pataky underscored the importance of “maturity” in dealing with fears. However, one issue that scares Pataky the most is losing agility as one ages. “Physically aging. I am a very active person, and if my body doesn’t allow me to progress, I would start to get frustrated. That scares me,” she stated. 

 

The interesting point is that Pataky is not talking about the standardized notions of beauty, but rather physical strength. She further mentioned, “But we, as a society, have also supported the idea that only young faces are beautiful, and we overlook the older ones. Perhaps it’s time to reclaim the beauty of every wrinkle, as each one of them is an experience.”
