Chris Hemsworth will be taking a break from the spotlight after his promo duties for Limitless.
The 39-year-old actor made the decision to take some time off after he found out, and it was revealed, that he was predisposed to develop Alzheimer’s.
Chris learned on the new NatGeo program that his DNA has two copies of the gene APOE4, which makes him eight to ten times more likely to battle the progressive disease.

During an interview with Vanity Fair, Chris opened up about how much the reveal effected him and his decision.
“It’s not like I’ve been handed my resignation,” he said, adding that “it really triggered something in me to want to take some time off, and since we finished the show, I’ve been completing the things I was already contracted to do.”
Chris explains, “Now, when I finish this tour this week, I’m going home, and I’m going to have a good chunk of time off and just simplify. Be with the kids, be with my wife.”
