Elsa Pataky has reached the age of 50 and is doing so, in her own words, at the best moment of her life. The Spanish actress, who has been settled in Australia with her family for over a decade, has opened the doors of her home to ¡HOLA! magazine to talk about this new stage which, far from causing her nostalgia, fills her with excitement.
The interview hits newsstands this week and coincides with a vital moment that Pataky herself describes as one of fulfillment and strength. Her reflection on reaching half a century of life is particularly relevant in a context where the actress remains very active both professionally and personally.
A consolidated life in Australia
Twelve years ago, Elsa Pataky decided to settle permanently in Australia with her husband, actor Chris Hemsworth, with whom she shares three children: India Rose and twins Tristan and Sasha. That country has become the home where she has watched her family grow and where she celebrates this new decade today.
In the conversation with ¡HOLA!, the actress was reflective about what this moment means to her, referring to it as the beginning of the "fifth floor" of her life. Far from slowing down her projects or dreams, she claims to be facing this stage with more energy than ever.
“I feel better than when I was 20”
One of the most notable quotes from the interview is the one that summarizes her current state of mind. Elsa Pataky confessed to feeling at her best, even more so than how she perceived herself in her youth.
This sense of well-being, as she recounted, is not only related to the physical, but also to the tranquility and security she has built over the years, both personally and professionally.
Two trips to celebrate around the world
To mark this special date, Pataky chose to celebrate her birthday with two significant getaways: a trip through Africa and another through Costa Rica. Both destinations were part of how she decided to commemorate her 50th birthday, away from the routine and surrounded by nature.
Family, marriage, and nostalgia for Spain
During the chat, the actress also addressed the challenge of watching her children grow up, currently in or near their teenage years, and how this stage forces her to constantly adapt as a mother.
She also spoke about the strength of her marriage to Chris Hemsworth, a relationship that remains firm after years of life together and raising their three children in Australia.
Despite the stability she has found on the other side of the world, Elsa Pataky acknowledged feeling nostalgia for Spain, her home country, to which she remains emotionally linked despite the distance.
