EXCLUSIVE: Elsa Pataky Talks About Possibility of Husband Chris Hemsworth Joining 'Fast and Furious' Franchise

The actress also joked with ET about kicking her husband's butt at the gym.

Elsa Pataky thinks husband Chris Hemsworth has what it takes to join the Fast and Furious family.

ET's Kevin Frazier spoke with the 40-year-old actress at the premiere of The Fate of the Furious in New York City on Friday, and asked what she would think if Hemsworth joined the beloved film franchise. "Of course. He's in an amazing franchise and action movies. He loves it," she said, referring to Hemsworth's role as Thor in the Avengers movies. "It's actually two big franchises that we are a part of. It's good to make comments between both of us."

Pataky -- who rocked a strapless orange dress at the premiere -- also commented on her and husband's love for fitness, and joked that she she kicks his butt in the gym. "Come on now, I'm a woman," the mother of three quipped. "More mentally than physically [at the gym], but I do!"

As for that Instagram video of Hemsworth sinking a basketball shot from across the court, Pataky confirmed that he "legit" did that. "I couldn't tell you if that was the first one he did, but he tried just a few times. I couldn't believe it," she exclaimed. "But he's so focused when he wants something that I knew he'd do it. I was like, 'You're going to do it.' He's really focused on what he wants."

Hemsworth wasn't able to join his wife at the premiere as he was at home with their children, so ET had Pataky record him a sweet message. "Hey love, I hope you're doing good with the kids, being a good dad. See you soon!" she said before blowing a kiss to the camera.
