Chris Hemsworth opens up about his dad's Alzheimer's diagnosis
Chris Hemsworth has shared that his father, Craig, is living with Alzheimer's disease.
In the new documentary A Road Trip to Remember, the two travel across Australia, revisiting places from their past to help spark old memories and show how staying connected can support brain health.
The film digs into Alzheimer's and family risk
The documentary also explores how therapies like reminiscing and strong social ties may slow down memory loss.
Chris reveals he carries two copies of the APOE4 gene—meaning he's at higher risk for Alzheimer's himself—but makes it clear he hasn't been diagnosed.
Raising awareness and hope
Calling his genetic risk "my biggest fear," Chris shares his journey in hopes of raising awareness and understanding about Alzheimer's.
The film highlights how emotional support and shared memories can make a real difference for those affected.
