Chris Hemsworth Denied Boarding After Passport Mix-Up

A botched attempt to use his daughter’s passport for one of his sons revealed a humanizing parenting error that drew renewed attention to the family’s public profile.

Overview

  • Hemsworth said in a Harper’s Bazaar Arabia video that he accidentally packed his daughter India’s passport instead of his son’s and tried to present it at airport security.
  • According to the couple’s account, Hemsworth told an agent, “This is her,” and the agent replied, “That’s a boy,” which led to the error being spotted.
  • Elsa Pataky confirmed the mix-up prevented Hemsworth and their son from boarding the international flight that day.
  • News outlets have widely reprinted the clip and framed the anecdote as a light, relatable moment while noting the family’s details, including children India Rose and twins Sasha and Tristan.
