Actor Chris Hemsworth is a wildly famous A-lister, whose star power grew considerably thanks to his ongoing role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In addition to being the first MCU hero to get a fourth solo movie, he’s also been keeping busy with other projects like "Extraction" and the Disney+ docuseries "Limitless." And it sounds like the 39-year-old actor might be the next major name to retire from Hollywood. At least, if the latest reports are true.

While it’s a dream for many to become a famous movie star, it’s not a career that some people can/want to stay in forever. Moviegoers have seen a few high-profile retirements lately including Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, and Bruce Willis– with the latter ending his career due to dementia issues. And per a new report by Page Six, the "Thor" actor might be considering an early retirement. Namely, because he recently found out that he’s at very high risk for Alzheimer’s disease later in life.
