Chris Hemsworth is said to be slowing down after learning he’s at “high risk” of Alzheimer’s as he ages.
The Thor actor, 39, discovered he could be vulnerable in later life to the degenerative disease while he filmed his National Geographic and Disney+ docuseries Limitless, and sources say even though he is planning to keep an eye on his Hollywood workload, he is not considering early retirement for the sake of his health.
An insider told Page Six that “he doesn’t plan to take on many roles because of [learning about his high risk of] Alzheimer’s” after he finishes four upcoming projects, which include reprising his Thor role in an upcoming Avengers sequel, and a part in an untitled biopic of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan.
