Chris Hemsworth may be a fictional god in movies, but in real life, it seems the 40-year-old actor is a superhero to his three kids: India Rose, 11, and twin boys Sasha and Tristan, 9. The actor, who’s been married to wife Elsa Pataky since 2010, previously told PEOPLE he wants to ensure his kids grow up with a strong moral compass.

“Financially, we’re in a different position [than my parents], but I want to make sure they know these things don’t come easy,” Hemsworth said of raising his kids. “You have to work for it, and you can’t take it for granted. Success is more about the values we have and the type of people we are, rather than the material objects that we might obtain.”

From wild birthday festivities to precious nap times, see the cutest photos of Chris Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky and their three kids.
