‘No Complaints’ About The Hollywood Path Chris Hemsworth Chose. But If He Could Do It All Again?

Many people wonder what their lives would be like if they’d made different decisions. Chris Hemsworth is now a hugely successful actor, but he easily could have become a professional surfer if things had gone another way.

Actually, Hemsworth admits he likely wouldn’t have made it as a professional surfer, as he never had quite enough natural talent. He did dream of surfing professionally when he was younger, and says if he could go back and magically gain the skill, he absolutely would have pursued it as a career. Hemsworth explained…

If I could easily have any job in the world, I’d pick being a professional surfer. I’m happy with where I am now, but when I think about natural talent, I’d much rather be out riding waves than doing what I currently do. I just love watching surfers – it’s really amazing to me!

Most people have probably wished they were more skilled at something. While practice can help improve, some things, like becoming a professional surfer, are just naturally difficult for many. Chris Hemsworth, for example, would happily trade his acting ability for surfing talent. And like him, many of us might trade our own strengths for the chance to play a role like Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

You really get a sense, just from looking at Chris Hemsworth’s Instagram, that surfing is a huge part of his life. It’s clearly something he and his kids do whenever they get a chance on vacation. And being around all those pro surfers, I guess it’s made him wish he could live that lifestyle a little bit himself – I totally get it!

It’s honestly a little surprising to hear Chris Hemsworth – the guy who seems to have it all – talk about wanting to explore other paths. But I guess that’s just how it goes, isn’t it? We often find ourselves longing for things we don’t have, no matter our circumstances. As a film fan, it’s a reminder that even those living what seems like a dream life still have their own aspirations and ‘what ifs’.

To be honest, if Chris Hemsworth were a surfer, he’d likely be unstoppable. He recently wanted to tackle a huge wave for his show *Limitless*, but Disney wouldn’t allow it. They were worried he might get hurt, especially since he had the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* movie to film.

Although Chris Hemsworth hasn’t said he’s retiring from acting, he’s suggested he might be starting to move away from playing Thor. If he does, he’ll likely have more free time to pursue hobbies like surfing.
