At the age of 39, Chris Hemsworth thinks a lot about the meaning of life because he has been diagnosed by doctors with a high risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

The results were given after doctors analyzed the actor’s genome. The possibility of Chris Hemsworth having this disease is 8 to 10 times higher than normal people.

In the actor’s family, his grandfather also suffered from this disease. Currently, Chris Hemsworth has chosen to reduce his work schedules, giving himself more time to rest, enjoy life and especially to be with his family, creating many beautiful memories with his wife and children.

Alzheimer’s disease causes memory loss in the elderly. The disease tends to get worse, causing negative effects on daily activities, memory, language and thinking ability of the patient.

The disease usually appears in people over 65 years old. However, the disease can still appear in people between the ages of 50 and 65.

Sharing in a recent interview with  GQ magazine  (UK), Chris Hemsworth said that he has been thinking a lot about how he will be remembered after his death.

He hopes that while he still has enough physical strength and mental clarity, he will be able to do beautiful things, so that later, people will remember the good things about him.

“When I think about my life, I don’t think about my career or anything like that. I want to be remembered as a normal person with a good personality, a good heart, a person who brought something of value,” Chris Hemsworth said.

In fact, the actor affirmed that he is not too concerned about how the public will remember him as a movie star.

“Now, the meaning of life suddenly becomes much more important to me than before. I suddenly understand that life cannot go smoothly forever, I will not be healthy like this forever,” Chris Hemsworth confided.

The actor also said that he does not want to leave behind bad films, so from now on, he will only accept scripts that he considers to be of good quality, worthy of his time and effort to participate in making.

For the past 7 months, Chris Hemsworth has not made any films and has also temporarily stopped many showbiz activities to think more seriously about his life.

During that time, he found himself having more meaningful time with his wife and 3 young children.
