Chris Hemsworth provides health update after sad diagnosis
UPDATED: 01:19 GMT, 3 November 2024
Chris Hemsworth has shared a rare health update after revealing that his career could be 'killing' him earlier this year.
The Thor star, 41, is working with Dr. Adeel Khan, a global leader in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy.
'Really enjoyed meeting Dr. Khan,' Chris wrote on Instagram Saturday.
'His work with MUSE cells – an incredible type of regenerative stem cell, is unique.'
Chris looked the picture of health as he posed for a photo with the world-renowned Canadian doctor, in a pair of black shorts and loose tank top outside one of his Eterna clinics.
Dr. Kahn, who posed for a picture arm-in-arm with Chris, has treated Royal families, celebrities like Zac Efron and Justin Baldoni, and elite athletes with his cutting-edge stem cell therapy.
Muse cells, which are found in the bone marrow and connective tissue of nearly every organ, have a tremendous capacity to function as restoring cells for a wide range of tissues and organs.
They are able to recognise damaged tissue and selectively accumulate at the site of the damage by intravenous injection.
'The fact that Dr. Khan collaborates directly with Professor Mari Dezawa, who pioneered these cells, made me feel confident that I was in the hands of someone at the very forefront of regenerative medicine,' Chris continued in his caption.
In May, it was reported the beloved actor was filming the Limitless series in 2022 when he found out he is 'between eight and 10 times' likelier to develop Alzheimer's than the general population.
Shortly after the news broke, Chris took a step back from Hollywood and rumours swirled about the Hollywood star retiring, or had already developed the disease.
'The imagined scenario is always worse than the reality,' the Aussie actor recently told Body + Soul magazine ,as he got back to work in Los Angeles filming thriller Crime 101 with Mark Ruffalo.
Chris spent one year recovering from a back injury, which he sustained while filming Thor: Love and Thunder, and coming to terms with his diagnosed genetic predisposition.
At 41, the father-of-three said he's never been more optimistic about his health, or about getting back on set in Los Angeles, where he relocated for a stint of filming at the start of October.
The upcoming movie is based on the Don Winslow novella, which focuses on a detective called Lou Lubesnick who investigates jewel thefts across the Pacific Coast.
Although he's back at work, Chris' health scare has set him down a path of seeking out the world's best health and wellness practitioners to keep him fighting fit.
