As Chris Hemsworth shares his family's struggle with Alzheimer's disease with his fans, he's curious about how this revelation of mental health will impact his career. The actor, who explored his father Craig's diagnosis in the documentary "A Road Trip to Remember," admits that he's worried audiences might "no longer believe" him as the leading man he's long portrayed. Since revealing his genetic predisposition for the brain disorder, he questions, "Will people still believe in the action star or the Marvel character? And do I want to reveal my fears and insecurities to this extent?"
In the 2025 Disney+ documentary, the MCU star embarked on a road trip with his father Craig to revisit places from their past, attempting to support memory function through social connection. Hemsworth added, "It was deeply personal. It was a love letter to my father. It empowered him for a time and stimulated memories that were slowly being taken away from him."
Previously, in his 2022 National Geographic docuseries "Limitless," Hemsworth revealed that his grandfather had Alzheimer's, making him ten times more likely to develop the condition himself.
