The Real Reason Elsa Pataky Didn't Take Chris Hemsworth's Last Name

In an interview with "The Kyle and Jackie O Show," Chris Hemsworth filled us in on why Elsa Pataky has yet to become Mrs. Hemsworth. According to the "Spiderhead" actor, changing names is not easy, especially since they had a complicated living situation early in their marriage.

"I think that she wanted to, I think she still may," he said at the time. "I think it was when we were coming back from America. We were living in Europe and deciding where to go. It was a complication of passports and so on." But Hemsworth said that "she might still do it" in the future.

Pataky, who was born in Spain, previously opened up about having a complicated name. She said that per Spanish conventions, she technically has two surnames. She also revealed that "Pataky" is her grandmother's surname which she uses as an actor, but her actual name is Elsa Lafuente Medianu. "That's my Spanish name. We actually have two surnames as one, which is weird; your mom's and your dad's," she explained, per Parade.
