Chris Hemsworth is dishing on what it was like drumming for Ed Sheeran!
If you recall, the 42-year-old actor hit the stage with the musician in a surprise appearance a year ago, and it was all filmed for his National Geographic series Limitless: Live Better Now.
In the first episode, “Brain Power,” Chris had just a few months to “master the instrument and conquer his nerves to perform in front of 70,000 fans. It’s a challenge that pushes him beyond his limits.”
While promoting the second season, which just premiered on Disney+ and Hulu on Friday (August 15), Chris shared that it was his hardest challenge yet!

“I’d say playing drums in front of 70,000 people with Ed Sheeran in Bucharest was probably the toughest, although I never want to get pepper sprayed again,” he told Screen Rant. “I can do intense training, extreme cold, fasting, all of that, but learning to play the drums was way out of my comfort zone.”
He also noted that overcoming stage fright and trusting his preparation was quite the test.
“It didn’t come naturally to me, so I had to dig deep, embrace my fear and trust that all of the practicing I had done would pay off,” the actor said.
If you missed it, Chris is returning as Thor in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, and he’s also set to star in a thriller with Lily James!
