Who is the Hollywood actor whose tests reveal the presence of the Alzheimer’s gene?
Chris Hemsworth had recently dedicated himself to a brand new project for him, which unfortunately revealed some bad news regarding his health. The Australian actor decided to participate in the production of National Geographic Limitless, which worked for several years to arrive at the final product, now available on the Disney+ platform.
Chris underwent six extreme tests to check his health. As the actor himself explained to Vanity Fair, everything should have happened in front of the cameras.

How He Discovered Trouble: The Chris Hemsworth Drama
The Hollywood actor remembers that when the doctor called him, he had his parents by his side. The conversation was rather short: DNA analysis revealed two copies of the APOE4 gene, commonly associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease. The doctor, after explaining his problem to him, started asking him a lot of questions.
The late actor explained that he too was beginning to ask many questions, but unfortunately no one would really be able to answer him. Chris Hemsworth has therefore decided to take some time to dedicate himself and his family to decide what to do. He stressed that he did not want to make his medical situation spectacular.
