He’s one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.
But Chris Hemsworth‘s favourite role of all is being a father to his three children, India Rose, Tristan and Sasha.
On Sunday, the 36-year-old actor looked every inch the doting dad while taking his kids for a bike ride near their home in Byron Bay, NSW.

The Thor actor looked like any ordinary father taking his children out for the day.
One of his sons rode ahead of him as they soaked up the sunshine in matching black T-shirts and shorts.
At one stage, Chris stopped to chat to a passer-by while unloading the bicycles from his truck.

Chris paired his activewear with Adidas sneakers, dark sunglasses and a black helmet for safety.
Last August, the father-of-three revealed he was taking a break from the spotlight amid the runaway success of his Marvel films.
He told the Men’s Health Strength Session podcast that he wanted to focus on his family instead of his career for a while.

‘I’m just at home now, taking the next six months off and spending time with the kids and the wife,’ said Chris of life back in Australia.
He explained that his decision to take time off at the peak of his career wasn’t made lightly.
‘After the Avengers press tour [in April] I had a real moment of like, “Oh, what now? I’m unemployed, what next?”‘ he said.

‘And then I thought, “No, this is the problem. If you keep looking ahead and not enjoying [the present], then you’re just going to miss it.”‘
Chris, who is married to Spanish actress Elsa Pataky, relocated to Australia with his family in 2014, after several years spent living in LA.
They recently moved into a $20million mansion in Broken Head, near Byron Bay.
