Written by djfrosty on August 24, 2024
Ed Sheeran was joined by surprise guest Chris Hemsworth playing drums on “Thinking Out Loud” Saturday night (Aug. 24) in Bucharest, Romania.
As The Hollywood Reporter notes, the moment — surely an unforgettable one for Hemsworth and the concert audience — was filmed for an upcoming episode of the second season of Limitless With Chris Hemsworth, the actor’s National Geographic and Disney+ original series. The episode is expected to air in 2025.
“Got Chris Hemsworth to learn to play drums for my stadium show,” Sheeran wrote in a caption on Instagram, where a clip from the concert was posted when Saturday night’s concert wrapped.
In the video, Sheeran said the actor emailed him in December about learning an instrument for his series, came to visit him, and was now making his live debut in front of 70,000 people.

Hemsworth commented, “I’ve been thinking about it … a lot. It’d be nice to put this one to bed.”
Sheeran gave Hemsworth a participation award for his efforts post-show.
Hemsworth’s Limitless series has the actor, with the help of experts, mentors and spiritual leaders, pushing himself physically and mentally to master new challenges as a way to keep himself sharp and to “live better for longer.” Season one is currently streaming on Disney+.
