Chris Hemsworth surprised fans with an unexpected appearance at Ed Sheeran’s concert at the National Arena in Bucharest, Romania, on August 24.
The Marvel star took the stage to learn and perform the drums in front of a massive audience of 70,000, marking a memorable moment in both his career and the crowd’s experience.
This unique collaboration was part of the filming for the second season of Hemsworth’s Disney+ and National Geographic series, Limitless with Chris Hemsworth, set to premiere in 2025. The show, known for pushing Hemsworth’s physical and mental limits, will feature this drumming challenge as part of its upcoming episodes.
During the concert, Hemsworth and Sheeran performed the hit song “Thinking Out Loud,” with the actor impressively showcasing his newly acquired drumming skills.
The moment, captured on camera, will be featured in the highly anticipated series, offering fans a behind-the-scenes look at Hemsworth’s journey to master the drums.
Ed Sheeran shared a clip of the performance on Instagram, revealing that Hemsworth had first reached out to him in December with the idea of learning an instrument for his show. The clip quickly gained traction, with fans praising Hemsworth’s dedication and Sheeran’s support.
After the performance, Hemsworth humorously commented, “I’ve been thinking about it… a lot. It’d be nice to put this one to bed,” reflecting on the intensity of the experience. Sheeran playfully presented Hemsworth with a participation award, adding a lighthearted touch to the event.
Limitless follows Hemsworth as he tackles various physical and mental challenges, all aimed at improving longevity and quality of life. Season one, currently available on Disney+, has been well-received, and the upcoming season promises to delve into topics such as pain, fear, cognitive impairment, and social connection.
Fans can look forward to seeing more of Hemsworth’s adventures when the new season premieres in 2025.
