“Thor” actor Chris Hemsworth and his family were refused permission to board an international flight. It wasn’t a political or immigration issue, but a passport mix-up, according to the star. He and his model wife, Elsa Pataky, said that Hemsworth tried to use the passport for his daughter-from-another-marriage, 14-year-old India Rose, for one of his twin sons (12-year-old Sasha and Tristan) with Pataky as his family headed overseas. He happened to have his daughter’s passport with him, but had forgotten one of his son’s passports. He thought the ruse might work because the two look alike, he told Harper’s Bazaar Arabia. (Yes, he admitted, he lied.) “They kind of look the same,” he noted, but his wife chimed in: “They don’t.” Hemsworth blew it anyway because he told the security officer: “This is her,” as he pulled out his daughter’s passport. “That’s a boy,” the officer fired back, pointing at one of the twins.
