She needs a pick-me-up! Chris Hemsworth carries cute daughter India Rose... while wife Elsa Pataky takes a coffee break

Working away from home while bringing up a baby isn’t the ideal situation.

So it’s no wonder Chris Hemsworth wanted to keep his daughter close while enjoying some time off in California on Saturday.

The 29-year-old actor was on Venice Beach with his family and clearly couldn’t get enough of his child India Rose as they enjoyed some down time.

Doting dad: Chris Hemsworth kissed daughter India Rose Hemsworth while out in the Venice Beach, California area on Saturday

Chris held the growing tot up with one arm pulling her in for a kiss on the head while she tucked into some food.

The muscular star obviously had no problem handling her little frame as he effortlessly did the task while holding a water bottle in his hand.

But it wouldn’t have been such an easy time for his petite wife Elsa Pataky.

The 36-year-old took a break from carrying her 10-month-old and instead perked up with a coffee.

It looked like the trio were enjoying an active day out as they sported casual clothing.

Elsa wore a thin sweater over a white vest, black leggings and peppermint colour trainers, covering her eyes with dark sunglasses.

Meanwhile her husband donned trainers and a cap to go with his beige shorts and layered tops.

Their youngster fashioned jeans with her pink T-shirt and Converse trainers as she caught up on time with her father.

Chris - who is the brother of actor Liam Hemsworth - has reportedly been back and forth filming re-shoots for his upcoming movie Thor: The Dark World, which is set to hit cinemas on October 30 in the United Kingdom and November 8 in America.

She looks so tiny in her daddy's arms, and she is so cute, lucky girl inherited both her parents genes. Elsa and Chris are such beautiful people, India Rose is bound to be too when she's grown up!

I love how he's always carrying her instead of being in a pram!

The baby isn't small - she is small relative to her father because he is a huge, gorgeous hunk of a man! :D

Elsa Pataky has 0 personality. She has started to dress like this since she married him. Here in Spain she is well known for the work she has done on her face especially and for dating much more famous men, that is all
