How did Chris Hemsworth react to media coverage about his chances of getting Alzheimer’s?

In a recent interview with the media portal, Hemsworth revealed that there are 8 out of 10 chances that he might be attacked with Alzheimer’s, considering his genes. However, the media reports took it otherwise and translated the news to Hemsworth not keeping well.

Addressing the issue, the Marvel star shared, "It really kind of pissed me off because it felt like I had been vulnerable with something personal and shared this. No matter how much I said, 'This is not a death sentence,' the story became that I have dementia and I’m reconsidering life, retiring, and so on." 

Hemsworth also clarified, "It all got a little sort of blown out of proportion. I wanted to take time off because I've been working for 10 years, and I've got three kids that I want to spend more time with. The information about the predisposition... allowed me to make a whole bunch of other changes... from nutrition to my training to my mental fitness."
