Back in 2014, the then-31-year-old-actor thought it was “pretty funny” when he first heard the news that he was chosen to be Sexiest Man Alive – as did his wife, Spanish model Elsa Pataky, 38, whom he wed in 2010.

“I think you’ve bought me a couple of weeks of bragging rights around the house,” he told PEOPLE at the time. “I can just say to her, ‘Now remember, this is what the people think, so I don’t need to do the dishes anymore, I don’t need to change nappies. I’m above that. I’ve made it now.’ ”

The Australian Hemsworth also revealed that he prefers to sleep sans pajamas, has a signature dance move (with a spin!) and would rather be home in Australia, where he and Pataky live with their three kids – daughter India and twin sons Sasha and Tristan – than anywhere else.

“We just had a big beach day with the kids, swimming and kicking the ball around,” he said in PEOPLE's 2014 cover story. “That was the first time in a long time we’ve done that. That’s what it’s all about.”
