The actor previously shared that his three kids showed enthusiasm for their dad’s stunts in his film ‘Extraction 2’ and even wanted to try out some of them

Chris Hemsworth is passing on his stunts to the next generation!
On Saturday, Nov. 23, the Transformers One actor, 41, showed a glimpse of his mentoring skills as he taught one of his twin sons how to do a backflip.
In a clip shared on his Instagram, Hemsworth could be seen demonstrating how to kick off the stunt while inside what appeared to be a gym. “Straight up. Off you go. Just like I showed you,” he told the 10-year-old boy before stepping aside and letting him try to do it himself.
Hemsworth’s son swayed his arms back before lifting off and completing the backflip, though his head almost touched the ground midway through. “Sick,” the proud dad commented, before showing the boy a technique to get more height.
“One adjustment, right? You want to do this,” Hemsworth said before the clip cut to the star — in a different set of clothes — doing a perfect backflip. “See, like that. That’s what you want to do, okay?”
He captioned the video, “Just teaching my young bloke the true technique on how to backflip. Kinda like yoda/skywalker #haterswillsayitsfake.”
Hemsworth’s three children — daughter India Rose, 12, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, whom he shares with wife Elsa Pataky — have previously shown an enthusiasm for their dad’s stuntwork.

Last year, the Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star revealed to PEOPLE that his kids were fans of the stunts he did in the film. “My kids love it, my kids love it,” he said while attending the Extraction 2 premiere in New York City.
“My kids were there on set a lot to see this stuff,” he added. “And they wanted to jump in front of the camera and participate.”
Hemsworth’s daughter and one of his sons have also dipped their toes into the movie world, making cameos in his 2022 film Thor: Love and Thunder. His kids also gave their famous dad some advice when it came to Transformers One.
At San Diego Comic Con back in July, the proud dad told PEOPLE that when he was offered the role of Orion Pax (aka Optimus Prime) in the film, he consulted his kids. “I said, ‘What do you think?’ And they said, ‘You have to do it,’ ” he recalled.
Hemsworth said his three kids “played a big part” in helping him decide to join the prequel and even gave him advice in the voiceover booth. “They were in the background as I was recording a lot of these lines. They were kind of yelling suggestions or trying to distract me,” he told PEOPLE. “It was cool.”
