Chris Hemsworth is known as Hammer-field Norse God Thor at Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.
But now the Australian actor is trading superpowers for a new set of science, introspection and personal challenges, many of which are very scary compared to fictional villains.
The 41 -year -old Aseem has returned to the second season, which faces him some of his deep fear because he investigates how to live long, healthy and better.
“The first season almost killed me,” Hemsworth told the BBC. “And I thought, ‘never again.”
In season one, Hemsworth faced free diving, fasting, stress training and physical and mental challenges designed to delay in walking with a crane 900 feet above the ground.
The actor says that he again chose a burning curiosity to “torture” to “ask big and deep questions” about the meaning of aging and life.
“It was teduned, but also deeply beneficial,” he says. “But now I have more questions than the answer!”
The season two takes a different way because Hemsworth continues to test his own, but not only physically. With the help of Ed Sheeran, he first learns to play a musical instrument and, inspired by his children taking careless risk, climbs a 600 -foot alpine dam.
“To emphasize in unfamiliar environment where you are facing adversity or risk, it helps you understand how delicate life is and how quickly it can change,” they say.
Hemsworth, whose brothers, Liam and Luke are also famous actors, say he now takes nothing and “he has learned to compromise for easy route because the biggest lesson comes from the most challenging time”.
One of the biggest challenges for the actor was in the first season of the National Geographic Series when a genetic test showed that he showed two copies of Jean Epo 4, one from his mother and one from his father, he is likely to make them eight to 10 times more, which is likely to develop alzheimer without both copies of the gene.
“This warning sign was a further inspiration to take care of itself,” Hemsworth says.
“It also felt like a great opportunity to offer education and to face some people as Alzheimer’s as a better understanding to navigate a better understanding for people.”
While Hemsworth is to live better, it has increased interest, he says that there is a good line between healthy aging and extreme biohaking.
Biohackers want to improve their body and mind by “hacking” their biology.
Hemsworth says, “You want to live a long and better life, but at what price? You can do your exact routine, but there is no point in doing all this that if you are isolated at home and are alone,” Hemsworth says.
“I am going to put energy in health and welfare but I also want to enjoy life.”
This mentality puts him on obstacles with more extreme elements of biohaking movement, which has attracted attention through data such as Tech Entrepreneur Brian Johnson.
47 -year -old Johnson has spent millions of dollars in a bid to slow down the aging – his regime, project blueprint has seen him taking several supplements in a day, following a strict diet and sleep routine and has to undergo a plasma exchange.
This is an approach that Hemsworth finds complicated, but believes that he is “not interested in finding out”.
Hemsworth explains, “I like to dance in and out in those spaces.” “Sometimes I try one thing, then another, and different pieces of science echo in different times in your life.
“If you are boxing even with a way of thinking, you close the door for other opportunities.”
Along with reversing its biological age, Johnson also wants to crack the code how to live forever.
But the Marvel Star says that no one has ascertained how to cheat death and he does not think anyone has to “embrace death”.
“Grief comes from refusal to the imperative of our death – all of us are dead death.”
He says: “If you were told that you have a guarantee of 200 years, you will become more decency and careless.
He also states that if humans can live forever then the relationship with other people will not be as important, and for Hemsworth, the family really matters.
Thor actor lives in Bayran Bay with his wife, actress Elsa Patki and her three children. The infinite touchs how his choice affects not only his life, but also the people around him.
Whatever he had to film a second series was “Great response from young children, parents and grandparents” and realizing that he was able to motivate others to challenge himself.
Despite his position as a global action star, Hemsworth is very introspective and seems deeply motivated to find a constant meaning and purpose for his life.
“This experience reminds me of what I am offering and receiving,” he says, saying that it is always important for him to remember that “we are not alive and thrive on our own”.
Along with his lifetime discovery to live better, Hemsworth is also wondering what is next in his acting career.
Thor will return to the Avengers: Doomsde which is ready to release in the winter of 2026.
As is another standalone film, the actor says: “I don’t know, we have to see where it is as I am unpacking that all of that now.”
“This is something that I definitely love and so we will see what happens.
National Geographic Limitless: Live Better Now is available to stream on Disney+ from August 15.
