Chris Hemsworth and his wife are expecting twins.

The Thor: The Dark World hunk's Spanish spouse Elsa Pataky has confirmed the couple - who already have a 20-month-old daughter, India Rose - will welcome not one, but two babies when she gives birth in the early spring.

Fast & Furious actress Elsa revealed the news to Spain's HOLA! magazine, to whom she first announced her pregnancy last year. A heavily pregnant Elsa, 37, accompanied her Australian husband to the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles, California, on Sunday, marking her first public appearance since confirming her pregnancy.

Proud father Chris has previously gushed about family life, saying he is never happier than when he is with his wife and little India Rose: "Being a father is certainly a task. But the best one that I could ever ask for. Being home, being with the family, that's what it's about... It makes me much more relaxed with work, because I have something that is far more important to me now."
