Chris Hemsworth opened up on life as a dad and how it gives him purpose.

In an interview with Modern Luxury, the actor opened up on being known as one of the biggest names in Hollywood, but it's a whole different world when he's home with the kids.

"It's no longer all about me, which is quite refreshing," Hemsworth said via Thursday's report from Entertainment Tonight. "Acting is the most self-absorbed world, where you are thinking about your feelings...you are constantly having to self-analyze or analyze a character you are playing, so you are internalizing and thinking, thinking, thinking about me...it's just a horrible, noisy conversation."

"Once the kids arrived, I was like, 'Wow, this is what life is about,'" the actor added.

Hemsworth and his wife, Elsa Pataky, are parents to India, 3, and twin boys, Tristan and Sasha, 2. The family is currently living in Australia, a place that is much more home oriented for Hemsworth rather than living in Los Angeles.

"LA is a tough place to get around with the kids," the Thor star said. "There's not a whole lot of foot traffic. It was all about loading up the car and car seats. Here, we just walk out the door and head to the beach down the street. It's a much more simple life."

As much as Hemsworth loves his work, it can be a breath of fresh air to be around others who aren't so focused on fame.

"I love what I do as an actor, but when you are surrounded by it constantly, it becomes a bit suffocating," he said. "It's nice to have conversations with people and be a part of a community that doesn't live and breathe that world."
