Chris Hemsworth has shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to his wife Elsa Pataky to mark her 50th birthday on Saturday.

The Marvel action star, 42, commemorated the milestone occasion by posting a sweet gallery of photos capturing him and his Spanish-born wife celebrating some amazing times together.

One sweet picture showed Chris and Elsa beaming as they posed for the camera and another captured them in swimwear flexing their muscles under a waterfall, as she cheekily pushed him into the water.

The photos captured the strong bond shared by the power couple, who married in 2010 and have three children together.

Chris captioned the pictures with some heartfelt words: 'Happy birthday to the forever adventurous, fun-loving, good-times-a-rollin', gorgeous @elsapataky.'

Many of Chris and Elsa's celebrity friends took to the comments section to congratulate her on the big day.

'Happy Birthday!' gushed Elsa's Fast and Furious co-star Vin Diesel.

'Cancerians rock,' Catriona Rowntree wrote.

Aside from her glittering Hollywood career, Elsa is widely admired for her healthy and balanced lifestyle. 

The Spanish actress continues to look incredibly youthful as she celebrates her 50th birthday.

She's not shy when it comes to flaunting her envy-inducing physique to her 6.1million followers - nor is she one for keeping her diet and fitness hacks a secret. 

As the wife of Thor icon Chris, Elsa has adopted a heavily gym-focused lifestyle to maintain her appearance.

The couple married in 2010 and share three children together: daughter India, 14, and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, 12.

While they both share an equal passion for health and fitness, the pair are always working out solo.

Elsa often documents her workouts and bikini snaps on her Instagram, as well as sharing her tips and tricks to stay trim.

The model follows a primarily plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins to fuel her body. 

Her go-to lunch is a hearty, leafy salad enriched with avocado, nuts and seeds, drizzled in olive oil.

While she tries to avoid processed foods and sugar, Elsa allows herself a few 'cheat' days now and then. 

'I make sure I eat as balanced and healthy as I can. Although of course I have my cheating days', she told Harper's Bazaar. 'I do love cooking fresh fish in the oven or the grill, although my favourite moments are to cook and bake with my children.'

Mental fitness is her main focus when it comes to looking after her health and wellbeing.

After she puts her children to sleep, Elsa says she tries to meditate for 10 to 15 minutes a day to 'unwind'.

When Elsa isn't working out in the gym, she is often seen horse riding with her children in Australia, where she resides.

Elsa has had a long-standing passion for horseback riding since childhood.
