Chris Hemsworth reveals accidental coronavirus loo roll stockpile disaster

Chris Hemsworth has revealed his wife accidentally ordered far more toilet paper than their family might ever need while coronavirus lockdown online shopping.

The 36-year-old Australian hunk has been married to 43-year-old Spanish beauty Elsa Pataky since 2010 and together they have three children.

The family are isolating together Down Under in their Australian mansion – but it sounds like they could build a fort out of toilet rolls following Chris’s actress wife slipping up with the supplies order.

Appearing via video link on an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Chris explained to 52-year-old show host Jimmy how Elsa got things spectacularly wrong.

“My wife was ordering a box of toilet paper, like, three months ago and thought it was 15 rolls and ordered 15 boxes,” Chris explained.

“So, unintentionally, we're stocked. We can bootleg this stuff if need be, but we have 15 boxes of toilet paper there,” he added.

Later on in the chat, host Jimmy joked that Chris can use his famous Thor hammer as a 'nifty toilet paper holder.'

Accidental over-ordering aside, Chris said he was hitting something of another problem during lockdown – educating his children.

The father-of-three declared he was a failure when it comes to homeschooling his three children; seven-year-old daughter India Rose and six-year-old twin sons Sasha and Tristan.

“I’m trying, I’m failing miserably,” he revealed.

“It’s sort of four or five hours of negotiation and bribery and then maybe 20 minutes of actual work, if that.”

And it seems modern day lessons are trickier than the simple maths and suchlike that Chris studied back in the day as a schoolboy himself.

“I was talking to the teacher about it, the adding and subtracting and so on, it’s not quite as straightforward now,” he said.

“There’s all these new little tricks and so on, which I don’t understand. So good luck me teaching my kids,” he added.
