India Rose Hemsworth Wins Bull‑Riding Contest Against All Male Competitors

By Livemint

Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth celebrated a milestone for his 14‑year‑old daughter, India Rose, after she won a bull‑riding competition that featured only male riders. The Thor star posted videos on Instagram of India Rose competing in a dirt arena and holding onto a bucking bull. In his caption, Hemsworth praised his daughter, calling her a “savage” and noting that she was the only girl in the field and took home the trophy. He later shared a clip of himself hugging her and congratulating her, calling her a “champion bull rider.” India Rose, the eldest child of Chris Hemsworth and Spanish actor‑model Elsa Pataky, was born in London in 2012. The couple married in December 2010 and also have twin sons, Sasha and Tristan, born in 2014. Hemsworth often shares moments from his family life on social media, and India Rose has appeared in her father’s films, playing Love, the daughter of Gorr the God‑Butcher, in Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). The character ultimately becomes Thor’s adopted daughter. Beyond acting, India Rose is a competitive Brazilian jiu‑jitsu practitioner and an avid dirt‑bike rider, according to her social media. Hemsworth explained that the name India Rose was inspired by his wife’s connection to India; Pataky had spent significant time in the country and both parents loved the name. In the competition videos, India Rose prepared for her ride before entering the arena. In a playful exchange, her father asked how long she thought she could stay on the bull. When Hemsworth suggested seven seconds, India confidently said she could last eight. She delivered the performance needed to win, becoming the only girl in the field to beat the boys and take home the trophy.
