Actor Chris Hemsworth made a somewhat shocking revelation during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday.
Hemsworth who appeared on the show to promote his new movie, ‘The Huntsman: Winter’s War,’ disclosed that his 4-year-old daughter says she wants a penis.
DeGeneres had asked Hemsworth about his daughter and 2-year-old twin boys and whether or not they get along.
Hemsworth said: “They get along. Absolutely.”“Well, at times…”“My daughter’s kind of envious of my boys at the moment,”
He revealed:
“She came to me like, ‘I want one of those things that Sasha and Tristan have.’ I’m like, ‘What do you mean?’” His daughter responded, “‘Like, the things in between their legs that you have.’”’Oh, um…Well, you see, girls…'”
Chris said he was caught off guard. He continued: “My brain’s like, ‘How do we handle this?’ I was like, ‘Girls have breasts.’ ‘I don’t want breasts!’ I was like, ‘OK. Um…’
She goes, ‘I really want one.’ I was like, ‘A penis?’ She was like, ‘I want a penis!'” he said. “I was like, ‘Oh, OK. Um…'” After some thought, he said he decided now wasn’t the best time to have that talk. “I was like, ‘You know what? You can be whatever you want to be.’ And she goes, ‘Thanks, dad!’ Runs off to the playground and that was it,” he said. “I’ll have to pick that conversation up in a few years time.”
Some twitter and other social media users think he shouldn’t have told her that she could be whatever she wanted to be, adding that at 4 years old, he should have sat her down told she is a girl hence doesn’t need an eggplant so as to avoid confusion in future.
While others said he did the right thing.
