He is described as a loving 'hands on father' by his wife Elsa Pataky and is often seen playing with his children in family snaps across Instagram.

And on Sunday, Elsa posted yet another picture of her husband Chris Hemsworth embracing one of their brood, as the superhero sat at the base of slide with the bub.

The sun-drenched picture shows Chris cuddling up to what appears to be one of the twin boys, as the pair shared a loving father-son moment in between play-time.

Doting dad! Chris Hemsworth shared a tender moment with one of his twin boys as they played around, with his wife Elsa Pataky sharing the sweet snap of the father-son moment to Instagram on Sunday

The Thor star appeared to be shirtless in the snap with his bulging biceps visible as one arm rested on his knee, as the other was tightly wrapped around his offspring.

Chris is often seen playing with his three children - twins Tristan and Sasha and daughter India.

Elsa told The Herald Sun that the thing she loves most about Chris is his 'hands on' approach to parenting.

She said: 'That’s the thing I love most about him is what an amazing dad he is and how much he loves playing with them.

'It’s a great time for just him and the kids, he loves that time, too,' she added.

In another snap posted on social media by Elsa, Chris can be seen sitting with his sons on a rocking horse.

Tired? Chris, who has been filming the new Thor film, was seen cradling one of his sons and his daughter, India, in another snap and it seems it was so comfortable in their father's arms, the trio fell asleep that way on the flight

The former Home And Away actor started dating Spanish actress Elsa in early 2010, and they tied the knot in low-key ceremony in December that year.

He told Good Morning Britain: 'There was no great plan to any of it to be honest.'

'We were on holiday and we said "why don't we get married too?" There probably should have been some planning but it all worked out.'

Elsa Pataky was spotted on a family day out in Madrid with her children and mum channelling her signature boho look in a floaty floral dress teamed with suede ankle boots.

A huge fan of the brand, we weren’t surprised to find out that Elsa’s dress is by Spell & The Gypsy Collective, synonymous with their hippy chick aesthetic and bohemian designs.

So this dress with its red flower power print, dipped hem and crochet inlay has all the hallmarks of the brand. We love how Elsa has styled it with a fringed handbag and a studded belt, giving the look further boho credentials.
