The Australian actor, who is gearing up to don his iconic cape once again, has spilled some serious tea on his eating habits and grueling gym routine.

In an exclusive interview with thescholarlynote.com, Chris revealed that he consumes a whopping eight to ten meals per day while training for Thor! That's right, folks; this A-lister is fueling up like a pro athlete. "Honestly when I am training to get into shape for Thor, I can eat up to eight meals per day," Chris confessed. "I'm consuming 4,000 calories a day... obviously it's good stuff - not pizza and cheesburgers - but yeah, I need to consume a lot of calories."

But that's not all; the Mad Max favorite also shared that he hits the gym an astonishing two or three times a day when prepping for Thor. This isn't your average Joe gym routine, folks! Chris' double stunt Bobby Holland Hanton revealed that the actor is "absolutely dedicated" to his training regimen. "He's always pushing himself to be better," Bobby said.

It seems like Chris' dedication has paid off; he's looking more buff than ever! But what about his personal life? Well, it appears that Chris and his wife of 15 years, Elsa Pataky, have been experiencing some marital troubles lately. Fans had been speculating about the couple's relationship after they were spotted apart for weeks.

While Elsa was busy raising their three kids in Byron Bay, Australia, Chris jetted off to Ibiza with an A-list entourage to celebrate his 42nd birthday. The party was a star-studded affair, with brothers Liam and Luke Hemsworth, Matt Damon, Rita Ora, Taika Waititi, and Pia Whitesell all in attendance.

But despite the fun-filled celebration, Chris' marriage to Elsa seemed to be on shaky ground. Sources close to the couple revealed that they had been spending extended periods apart, fueling rumors of a potential split.

However, it seems like Chris is making an effort to keep his relationship with Elsa strong. In a sweet birthday tribute to her husband, Elsa shared a heartfelt message on social media. "Happy Birthday to my Rocky Balboa," she wrote alongside a throwback photo of them embracing. "You're the best of the best."

It's clear that Elsa and Chris are still deeply in love; they just need some quality time together! The couple has made Byron Bay their home in recent years, but with Chris' demanding filming schedule, it's no wonder they've been apart for so long.
