Chris Hemsworth is the 35-year-old star of "Thor: Ragnarok," or you may know him as the brother of equally attractive actor Liam Hemsworth. But did you know he's also a father-of-three?

Well, he is. And it turns out, he's pretty much the coolest dad ever.

In a clip from a 2015 interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Hemsworth shared an interesting conversation he had with his 4-year-old daughter India.

“My daughter's kind of envious of my boys," Hemsworth told Ellen. “She came to me the other day, and she's like 'You know, Papa, I want one of those things that Sasha and Tristan have.' And I'm like, 'What do you mean?' She said, 'You know the things in between their legs that you have.'"

Surprise.

Hemsworth said he tried to explain the differences between male and female bodies, but his daughter wasn't having it.

“She goes, 'I really want one!' Hemsworth said. “I'm like, 'A penis?' And she's like, 'I want a penis!'

And then, Hemsworth had the best possible response. He recalls:

She's four and I'm like, 'You know what, you can be whatever you want to be.' And she goes, 'Thanks, Dad.' Runs off into the playground and that was it.

And then, I cannot confirm, but I'm pretty sure the Ellen audience did this:

father, daughter, parenting

Standing ovation.

Major kudos to Hemsworth for taking a potentially awkward parenting situation and turning it into a lesson about love and acceptance.

He had a panic attack on live TV. Now he's helping others face their own.

Nate Byrne, known for his role as the beloved meteorologist on ABC’s News Breakfast, faced an intense and personal challenge in 2022—one that unfolded live on national television. During a morning broadcast, Byrne suffered not one, but two panic attacks. Instead of keeping the experience to himself, he’s since opened up in hopes of helping others who may be silently battling anxiety.

The first panic attack came after Byrne rushed to the studio, arriving later than usual. "As I stood there under the studio lights, talking to people having their morning coffee and wiping sleep from their eyes, my heart was racing, I was gasping for breath and sweat was pouring out of every pore as my brain screamed 'RUN!'" he later shared.

A teen was humiliated over a $5 lunch debt. His mom’s response fed 18 more kids.

It’s the kind of story that sparks headlines, shares, and maybe even a few tears—but beneath it all is a bitter truth: no child should have to be humiliated to get a meal.

Sixteen-year-old Dominic Gant was looking forward to lunch like any other student at Dowagiac Union High School in Michigan. But when he reached the cafeteria line, he was stopped cold. He had a $5 overdue balance on his account, and cafeteria staff refused to let him eat. He offered the $2 he had, promising to bring the rest later, but they weren’t interested. Instead, they took the lunch tray right out of his hands and tossed it in the trash.
