Chris Hemsworth plans on taking more time off from the entertainment industry after learning he has a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease.

The "Avengers" star, 39, discovered in an episode of his new Disney+ docuseries "Limitless" that his DNA contains two copies of the APOE4 gene, making his chance of developing the progressive neurologic disorder eight to 10 times higher than the average person's.

Hemsworth told Vanity Fair in an article published Thursday that the information made him want to take more time off from work to be present with his family.
