    The majority of the world may recognize him as Thor, but to these beautiful people, Chris is just a loving dad and husband.

    And in a recent interview with GQ Australia, the 35-year-old Melbourne native opened up about about how he plans to raise his children humbly, despite his success.

    "I remember saving up for a surfboard when I was younger. The surfboard was 600 bucks and I saved up for a whole year with my dad’s help."

    "I didn’t even want to surf on it for fear of damaging it. It taught me so many lessons about appreciation and working hard for something.”

    "When I think about my kids, I don’t want them to miss that joy. I don't want them to feel like they're privileged in any way."

    Because when it comes to wealth, Chris revealed he "feels gross about it." But luckily, Chris and Elsa share the same philosophy when it comes to their children learning the value of a dollar.

    "Elsa and I talk a lot about how we instill that same appreciation and respect for things."

    "The fact that we have money and their parents are famous, that somehow they’re special, that scares me because we grew up with no money."
