'The Huntsman: Winter's War' actor - who is married to Elsa Pataky - admitted his three year old daughter is "envious" of her little brothers and feels left out because her body is different to theirs.

Speaking on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', he said: "My daughter is kind of envious of the boys at the moment. She came to me the other day and she was like, 'Ya know, Papa, I want one of those things Sasha and Tristan have.' I'm like, 'What do you mean?' She was like, 'Ya know, the things in between the legs that you have.'"

Though Chris, 32, admits he was initially taken off guard, the quick-thinking father came up with a fair compromise.

He explained: "I was like 'Oh, um, well you see...Girls...' and then my brain's like, how do we handle this?! Girls have breasts.' 'I don't want breasts!' I was like, 'Ok. Um...' She was like, 'I really want one.' I was like, 'A penis?' And she was like, 'I want a penis!' "

Despite being taken off guard, the 'Thor' star isn't too concerned and just reassured his daughter - who turns four next month - she could be "whatever" she wants to be in the future.

He added: "I was like, she's four.' Ya know what, you can be whatever you want to be.' And she goes, 'Thanks dad!' Runs off to the playground and that was it. I'll have to pick up that conversation in a few years' time."
