Chris Hemsworth Joins Ed Sheeran’s Drummer in ‘Limitless’ Trailer

## Ed Sheeran’s Concert Surprise

During a memorable concert in Bucharest, Romania, Ed Sheeran’s drummer took a well-deserved break. To fill in, actor Chris Hemsworth took a seat at the drum kit, despite having no previous drumming experience just months earlier. In a compelling moment captured for the series Limitless: Live Better Now by National Geographic, Hemsworth prepared to entertain a live audience of 70,000.

### The Excitement of Performance

As the first notes of “Thinking Out Loud” resonated, Hemsworth entered a focused state. “When the bass starts, the piano, the guitar, everything hits at the same time,” Hemsworth shared in the episode preview titled “Brain Power,” which is set to air on Disney+ and Hulu. “And if I’m off, it’s all off.”

With Sheeran nodding for encouragement, Hemsworth felt a mix of excitement and nerves. “I’m encouraging and welcoming the adrenaline at this point,” he noted, pushing aside any anxiety as he approached the pre-chorus.

### A Unique Learning Journey

The journey began with an email from Hemsworth to Sheeran last December. The actor was working on a documentary about cognitive health and the benefits of learning an instrument. “He came to visit me, and he had learned drums,” Sheeran explained in a backstage video before the concert.

With enthusiasm and determination, Hemsworth took on the challenge of performing in front of a massive crowd.

### Exploring Beyond Music

In addition to his drumming debut, Hemsworth also ventured into the Swiss Alps and trained with special forces during the series. “Working on LIMITLESS was an eye-opening experience,” he stated in a press release. “It allowed me to reflect on my strengths, vulnerabilities, and the ways we can plan for longevity.”

For the upcoming season, Hemsworth aims to deepen this exploration alongside health and wellness experts from around the world.
