Chris Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky’s twin sons have undergone a dramatic appearance change.
The family is enjoying a vacation in Japan, and on Monday, Elsa shared a carousel of photos from their trip, which coincided with Sasha and Tristan’s 11th birthday.
In the snaps, Sasha and Tristan unveiled their bold hair transformations, trading in their former long, blonde locks for much shorter ‘dos.
One photo shows the duo with their parents at an animal café, with one of the boys rocking a bleached blonde buzzcut while the other sports a slightly longer length than his twin with an ombre hue.
Chris and Elsa have had a fun-filled vacation with their twins and daughter, India Rose.
The Thor actor took to Instagram with a “photo dump” from their trip, which included many snow-covered shots of the family-of-five in their luxe ski suits, performing some snowmobile tow-assisted jumps, shopping, selfies, cherry blossom excursions, and birthday celebrations.

Earlier this month, Elsa explained why they swapped Hollywood for a quieter life in Australia. “When you’re in Los Angeles, work suffocates you,” she told NewsCorp.

As for why they didn’t relocate to her home country of Spain, the actress explained that there’s nothing quite like the Australian landscape.

Chris echoed his wife’s comments in a 2020 interview with Modern Luxury, admitting that the world of Hollywood had gotten too restrictive.
“I love what I do as an actor, but when you are surrounded by it constantly, it becomes a bit suffocating,” he told the publication.

“LA is a tough place to get around with kids,” Chris added. “There’s not a whole lot of foot traffic. It was all about loading up the car and car seats. Here, we just walk out the door and head to the beach down the street. It’s a much more simple life.”
He explained that moving to Byron Bay and living on their sprawling acreage “has been the best thing” for their three kids.

The luxurious mansion boasts six bedrooms, a spa, games and media rooms, an infinity pool, and a state-of-the-art home gym.

The family accesses the back of their garden from their living area, which has floor-to-ceiling bifold doors that span almost the entire width of the rear of the house.
