"Then you start talking about kids and family and going, 'Oh my God, they're getting older, they're growing up and I keep slapping another movie on top of another movie,'"he said. "Before you know it, they're 18 and they've moved out of house, and I missed the window."
Hemsworth also said he's become more comfortable turning down projects and is taking"a more curated approach" to his job selection.
