Elsa Pataky takes barefoot twin sons back to school in Byron Bay as classes resume

Hollywood power couple Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky have struggled homeschooling their three children during the coronavirus pandemic.

And on Friday, Elsa appeared in good spirits as she took her twin boys back to school in Byron Bay.

The Spanish actress, 43, walked her barefoot children to the gate while slinging one of her son’s backpacks over her shoulder.

Chris and Elsa share daughter India, eight, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, six. 

From mid-May, as per New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s directives, students returned to school one day a week.

Students will head back to school full time from July under a plan to gradually return children to classrooms. 

Elsa, who starred in The Fast and Furious franchise, dressed down for the casual school run with her children.

The blonde bombshell left her hair down and appeared to embrace her natural beauty by stepping out without any makeup on.

She wore a striped jumper, loose-fit trackpants and sneakers.  

Last month, Australian actor Chris, 36, revealed he was struggling to get the their children to concentrate on their studies at home.

‘Home schooling them is an absolute challenge. It’s three hours of negotiation and maybe 20 minutes of actual work,’ he said in a promotional video for Netflix.

The star, who was self-isolating with his family in their $20million Byron Bay mansion, added: ‘[My children] just crave interaction with other kids so much, obviously, and that’s a challenge.’

Despite being Hollywood megastars, doting parents Elsa and Chris are very hands-on with their children and are regulars at the school gate.

The couple relocated to New South Wales from Los Angeles in 2014, and haven’t looked back since.

Elsa previously told Stellar in 2017 that she enjoyed the more laid-back lifestyle in Byron Bay and was happy to be treated more like ‘a local’ than a celebrity.
