The actor spoke to Vanity Fair and revealed that he received the bad news while he was working on the Limitless docuseries for Disney+.

Hemsworth underwent a few genetic tests and was told by a doctor that he was genetically predispositioned for Alzheimer’s disease.

His genes include two copies of the APOE4 gene, with each coming from his parents, and these genes have been linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, which is a form of dementia that affects a person’s memory, behaviour and thinking.

Hemsworth’s double APOE4 genes make him 8 to 10 times more likely to develop the disease, and he shared that his grandfather also suffered from the disease.
