WATCH: Shock moment Chris Hemsworth nearly lost his daughter

Terrifying moment relived - by Penelope Kilby
  • 10 Apr 2019

Chris Hemsworth made a very surprising confession on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this week. 

WATCH: CHRIS HEMSWORTH RECALLS MOMENT OF TERROR

The 35-year-old recalled his own real-life superhero moment at Disneyland, while promoting his new flick, Avengers: Endgame - and it involves his daughter now-six-year-old daughter India.

 

"I took my kid, a couple of years ago, it was previously called the Tower of Terror or something and she wasn't tall enough and she was really upset and I thought, 'No forget this come here,'" he began.

"So we grabbed a couple of Snickers bars and slammed them in the back of her shoe so I propped her up, walked up and was like, 'What about now?' and they were like, 'OK in you come.'"

But his playful decision almost cost India her life.

He continued, "So, we're sitting in the chair and this thing is, I dunno, hundreds of feet high and whatever. 

"We're at the top and I'm looking at her and she's strapped in and the seat it's massive on her and I'm like 'We beat the system, honey, well done' and it drops and she [flies up] and I grab on to her and she's screaming the whole way down. 

"So maybe there's a reason that there's a height size. So, don't do that. She's fine, she's well. I'm her hero."
