Chris Hemsworth has opened up about his memorable experience of playing drums at an Ed Sheeran gig. During a Q&A session for his upcoming series, Limitless: Live Better Now, the Thor actor spoke candidly about learning to play the drums for the first episode of the show, titled Brain Power.
The episode culminated in a live performance with Ed Sheeran in front of 70,000 fans in Bucharest, Romania, on August 24, 2024. “It was very much a kind of out-of-body experience,” Hemsworth said, “and there’s something about being in unison and in time with, not just a band, but a mass group of people.”
The 41-year-old actor continued, “I imagine it was sort of like a universal prayer or whatever, where people get together, and this sort of intention to point towards something positive in the same direction that there would be some interconnected experience.” Hemsworth, who played drums for the song “Thinking Out Loud,” admitted, “And that’s what it felt like. I felt like it was kind of beyond me at that point. I was just floating along for the ride.”
Limitless: Live Better Now is scheduled for release on August 15, 2025.
