Chris Hemsworth’s Alzheimer’s Revelation on Disney+‘s "Limitless" Prompts Hiatus tor Actor: “It Really Triggered Something In Me”
by Matt Grobar
Nov. 18, 2022
After a career “sprint” of 10+ years, actor Chris Hemsworth is ready to slow down. The actor has announced in a new interview with Vanity Fair that he’ll be taking “some time off,” following the revelation while filming his Disney+ original series "Limitless" that he has a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s.
This discovery was just the most potent of a series of moments during production forcing the actor to face “the reality” of his own mortality. “It really triggered something in me to want to take some time off. And since we finished the show, I’ve been completing the things I was already contracted to do,” revealed Hemsworth.
“Now when I finish this [press] tour this week, I’m going home and I’m going to have a good chunk of time off and just simplify. Be with the kids, be with my wife.”
Hemsworth’s medical reveal comes in the fifth episode of "Limitless", which debuted in full on Disney+ on Wednesday. The specifics of the diagnosis, per Vanity Fair, are as follows:
“His makeup includes two copies of the gene APOE4, one from his mother, the other from his father, which studies have linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. One in four people carry a single copy of the gene, but only 2 to 3% of the population have both, according to a 2021 study by the National Institutes of Health.”
Hemsworth stressed in the interview that he’s not been given “a hard diagnosis” of Alzheimer’s, even if the double occurrence of APOE4 is indeed “cause for concern,” clarifying that “it’s not like I’ve been handed my resignation” from acting.
Still, the actor, whose grandfather has the illness progressively affecting memory, is now 8-10 times more likely to develop it.

What a surprise that Chris Hemsworth is gonna retire after he does his show Limitless due to finding out that he may develop Alzheimer's later on in life. I like Chris Hemsworth in Thor and I hope he does great in Limitless. But I do wish him good luck and a happy retirement
