CHRIS Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky don’t rely on nannies to look after their children.

The couple have daughter India, 6, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, 4. Despite their hectic schedules, they have a parenting pact, which means one of them is always around to look after the brood.

Speaking on Australia’s Today show, Pataky, 42, said: “It is important for us, for one of us to be there. I don’t think I’d be able to work if (Hemsworth) didn’t have the time to be with them. He’s such a good dad.”

Her comments come after Bad

Times at the El Royale actor Hemsworth, 35, recently said parenting was more “difficult” than he had expected and was the biggest challenge he had faced.

“You have to change your thinking and be completely there for them,” he added. “But they have also taught me what real love is and what true responsibi­lity means.”

While parenting has made him less selfish, he doesn’t see the changes as sacrifices.

“Your life becomes more focused and you don’t have time to get distracted by unimportan­t things.

“You become a lot less selfish and suddenly you’re thinking almost exclusivel­y in terms of creating the best possible life for your wife and children. But I don’t feel as though I’m making any sacrifices.

“I had my share of wild times when I was younger and that kind of stuff was never that interestin­g to me anyway.
