However, many people didn't understand that it wasn't an Alzheimer's diagnosis, Hemsworth told Vanity Fair.
Dementia is an umbrella term to describe serious memory and thinking problems, while Alzheimer's is a specific disease that can progress into dementia.
Hemsworth previously told Men's Health that he's started doing more cardio, taking more alone time, being more mindful, and prioritizing sleep.
"I think for the first time in my career, I've started thinking, 'Shit, how many years do I have left that I can do this?'"
"I know my dad is going through a transition of acceptance around 'I'm not this big, strong man with all the answers who everybody looks to for guidance now,'" Hemsworth told the publication.
