Chris Hemsworths Unromantic Proposal to Elsa Pataky

They may be an A-list couple, but and score a D minus when it comes to the story behind their engagement.

Speaking to Nova's Fitzy, Wippa & Kate on Monday afternoon, the Chris, 42, revealed that proposing to Elsa, 49, was more like a casual agreement rather than a dramatic symbol of love. 

'We talked about getting married, before I even asked her to get married, and it was like, 'Yeah, why not, why not?' he sheepishly admitted, adding: 'So that kind of takes the air of the build up.'

'It felt like a, 'Why not? I've got nothing better at the moment, we'll see how it goes', type of energy,' the former actor laughed. 

Chris, who shares three children with Elsa, even hinted that Elsa still hasn't let him forget about the low-key proposal, adding: 'I think she's still thinking about it.' 

The star went on to cringe over how he actually proposed to Elsa despite her knowing it was coming, revealing that he hid the ring inside a box of chocolates. 

'I had it in my hand, in my pocket, and I thought, I've got to do something cool with it. This is about as creative as I got, I put it in a chocolate box,' he explained. 

Chris and Elsa began dating in early 2010 after being introduced by a talent agent. 

Their relationship progressed quickly, with the couple marrying in December that same year. 

The couple relocated from the US in 2015 and now live in a $50m mansion in Byron Bay with their three children, India Rose, 13, and 11-year-old twin sons Sasha and Tristan.
