Chris Hemsworth recently stunned fans with a surprise appearance as a drummer at an Ed Sheeran concert.
In a teaser for the second season of his National Geographic series, Limitless with Chris Hemsworth, released on social media over the weekend, the Thor actor showcased his newly acquired drumming skills.
In the teaser, Ed Sheeran mentions that Chris would be playing drums in front of a crowd of 70,000 people, though he did not specify the date or location of the performance.
“Chris emailed me last December, saying he was doing a documentary on cognitive health and the benefits of learning an instrument. He came to visit me and has learned drums since,” explained the singer-songwriter. Chris added, “I’ve been thinking about it a lot. It’ll be nice to put this one to bed.”
The clip then shows Ed introducing Chris to the massive audience at the concert before they launch into Sheeran’s 2014 hit, Thinking Out Loud, featuring a snippet of the Australian actor on drums.
Backstage, Ed gives Chris a hug and tells him, “You did really well,” before presenting him with a “participation award” for “drumming excellence.”
The second season of Limitless with Chris Hemsworth is set to stream on Disney+ next year.
The first season followed the Extraction actor as he pushed the boundaries of his body and mind after discovering through extensive bloodwork that he is at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Producers have promised that the follow-up season will take Chris on a global journey through Nepal, Italy, Australia, and the U.K., as he seeks to understand “how to live not just longer, but better.”
“Working on Limitless was an eye-opening experience that allowed me to reflect on my strengths, vulnerabilities, and all the ways in which we, as humans, can plan for longevity,” the 41-year-old actor shared in a press release. “For this next season, we are attempting to raise the bar and go even deeper in this exploration alongside health and wellness experts from around the world.”
