Why Thor star Chris Hemsworth is going back to his roots

One should never forget his/her roots — that's what actor Chris Hemsworth definitely believes. The Extraction star recently paid a visit to the remote Australian community he lived in as a child. On Sunday, Chris took to Instagram and posted several photos on Instagram from his recent visit to the Northern Territory called Gulin Gulin, People reported.

In the images, he can be seen posing with community members. Hemsworth's carousel of images featured a throwback photo, presumably of him as a young boy, posing with other children. He also included a photo of a banner that was drawn for him with the words "Welcome home," Superman "S" symbols, stars, flowers, hearts and a man wearing a cape.

Another image showed him meeting a young fan and autographing their shirt.

"When I was younger my family and I lived in a remote community in the Northern Territory. Some of my earliest and happiest memories are from that time," he captioned the post.

"Now, 35 years later I've been lucky enough to take a trip back there," he continued. "I couldn't be more grateful to the people of Gulin Gulin for welcoming us with such warmth and kindness. Much love and appreciation," he added.

Meanwhile, Hemsworth has also been in the news for his health. He is making sure to dish out fitness goals among his fans.

In an interview with Men's Health, Hemsworth revealed that he has made major lifestyle changes after learning about his high risk for getting Alzheimer's disease, Fox News reported.

"Now, I'm incorporating more solitude into my life," Hemsworth, 40, shared.
