Elsa Pataky, 44, poses topless in steamy photoshoot for Spanish magazine Elle

Elsa Pataky turned the temperatures up as she stripped naked for a scorching cover shoot with Elle Spain.

The 44-year-old actress, from Madrid, has only posed topless in bikini bottoms while on the cover of the fashion magazine.

Chris Hemsworth’s glamorous wife had her long brunette locks tied as she smiled for the camera.

In another photo, Elsa showed off her amazing figure in a strapless brown swimsuit as she leaned against a tree.

She then transformed into a sleek white piece and a brown coat for a third image.

Elsa and her Thor’s star husband, 37, swapped the lights of Hollywood for a more relaxed life in Australia seven years ago.

The Hollywood couple, married for ten years, have made their home in Byron Bay since 2014.

They have a $ 30 million mega-mansion in Broken Head.

Elsa, who previously lived in Los Angeles with Chris and their three children, said she enjoys the more laid-back Down Under lifestyle.

“ We made the move three years ago and I’m so happy about it, ” she revealed to Women’s Health magazine in April 2017.

In August, she revealed the secret to her successful marriage to Chris.

“It’s funny that people think of us as a perfect couple. No way, ‘her body + soul.

“ It’s been ups and downs, and we continue to work on the relationship, ” she added.

Elsa admitted that after nearly a decade of marriage to the Avengers star, things aren’t always ‘easy’, but the secret to their lasting love is ‘work’.

“I think a relationship is constant work. It’s not easy, she said.
