## Birth and name
India Rose Hemsworth was born in 2012 in London, England, while her father was working in Britain.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13831724/) • [3](https://www.kidsco.org.uk/chris-hemsworth/) Her parents had married in December 2010 and announced the pregnancy in January 2012; when the birth was reported that May, they declined to give the exact day, saying only that she had been born "very recently."[2](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chris-hemsworth-and-wife-welcome-a-baby-girl/)
The name came from a compromise between the parents. Hemsworth told [E! News](https://www.edgepedia.org/e-news) that he had liked Indie or Indiana for a boy while Pataky liked India, and that they decided the name would fit either way: "whether it's a boy or a girl, that will decide. It just seemed to fit."[2](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chris-hemsworth-and-wife-welcome-a-baby-girl/)
Her twin brothers, Tristan and Sasha, were born in 2014, twenty-two months after her; their mother announced the birth herself.[3](https://www.kidsco.org.uk/chris-hemsworth/) The family later moved from Los Angeles to northern [New South Wales](https://www.edgepedia.org/new-south-wales) in Australia.[3](https://www.kidsco.org.uk/chris-hemsworth/)
## Thor: Love and Thunder
India Rose made her acting debut in *Thor: Love and Thunder* (2022), directed by [Taika Waititi](https://www.edgepedia.org/taika-waititi), playing the daughter of Gorr, the villain played by [Christian Bale](https://www.edgepedia.org/christian-bale).[4](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/thor-love-and-thunder-chris-hemsworth-daughter-india-b2123781.html) The character is credited as Gorr's Daughter, and the film closes on her: as Gorr lies dying, Thor agrees to adopt the girl, and a voiceover reveals that she and Thor together are known as Love and Thunder.[5](https://time.com/6193989/thor-love-and-thunder-cameos/)
The film was a family affair. Her twin brothers also appeared, Tristan as a young Thor in the opening montage and Sasha among the Asgardian children Gorr kidnaps, alongside the children of [Natalie Portman](https://www.edgepedia.org/natalie-portman), Waititi, and Bale.[5](https://time.com/6193989/thor-love-and-thunder-cameos/) On set, India Rose waved off her father's advice; [Hemsworth](https://www.edgepedia.org/hemsworth) recounted that she told him, "Pfft, no, I'll do it my way," and that she did an incredible job. One scene gave her trouble: her character is called to kiss Gorr's head, and she objected that the prosthetic makeup made it sticky, kissing a couple of inches away instead.[4](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/thor-love-and-thunder-chris-hemsworth-daughter-india-b2123781.html)
After the film's release, Hemsworth said he did not want his children to become child stars, calling the experience "a one-off fun family experience."[3](https://www.kidsco.org.uk/chris-hemsworth/) • [6](https://time.com/6899146/movies-actor-parent-child-star-together/)
## Later credits
Her filmography has stayed short and tied to her father's work. In 2024 she appeared, uncredited, as Girl in *Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga*, in which her father plays the warlord Dementus and her mother appears in two roles.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13831724/) • [3](https://www.kidsco.org.uk/chris-hemsworth/) She has also appeared as herself in documentary formats built around her father, including an episode of the first season of *Limitless* in 2022.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13831724/) • [3](https://www.kidsco.org.uk/chris-hemsworth/)
A teaser released at the end of December 2025 confirmed that she returns as Love in *[Avengers](https://www.edgepedia.org/avengers-marvel-cinematic-universe): Doomsday*, which opens on 18 December 2026.[3](https://www.kidsco.org.uk/chris-hemsworth/) Promoting the film, Hemsworth said his 13-year-old daughter showed an "angsty, sort of teenager attitude" on set and that "in the end, I had to bribe her" to come to work.[7](https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/marvel-movies/thor-star-chris-hemsworth-says-his-daughter-had-angsty-sort-of-teenager-attitude-on-set-of-avengers-doomsday-in-the-end-i-had-to-bribe-her/)
## Outside acting
In late September and early October 2026, Hemsworth shared videos on Instagram of his 14-year-old daughter winning an all-boys bull-riding competition, where she was the only girl competing; he wrote, "Just wanna say my daughter is a savage. Only girl in the comp and took home the win. Proud moment."[8](https://www.indiatoday.in/amp/movies/hollywood/story/she-is-a-savage-chris-hemsworth-celebrates-daughter-india-rose-all-boys-bull-riding-win-3008554-2026-10-03) • [9](https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/2200666-chris-hemsworth-daughter-india-bull-riding-win/xwp_curated_content) In November 2025 he had also shared photos and videos of her riding a dirt bike.[9](https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/2200666-chris-hemsworth-daughter-india-bull-riding-win/xwp_curated_content)
