Chris Hemsworth's baby daughter is "the cutest thing ever".

The 'Snow White and the Huntsman' actor's wife Elsa Pataky gave birth to their little girl India Rose three weeks ago and the Australian star is loving every minute of being a father.

He said: "It's great. We're having a great time.

"She's sleeping and she's just the cutest thing ever. It's awesome."

Although she isn't even a month old yet, Chris insists India is already energetic.

He added to 'Access Hollywood': "She's fantastic. She's an active little kid, you know? It's great."

Elsa previously revealed she was very confident her husband would be a good dad.

She said: "He's the person I feel closest to and we understand each other very well. And then I see him as a great dad - it's important to know if the person you're with will be good at parenthood.

"Chris is very good with kids. His older brother has two little girls and a third on the way. We always spend our holidays together and it's lovely to watch him with his nieces. I was mesmerised by it. He's going to make a great dad. He's very excited."
