When Chris Hemsworth Joined Ed Sheeran For Surprise Drum Jam In Romania
Limitless: Live Better Now, directed by Kit Lynch‑Robinson, focuses on Chris Hemsworth's pursuits in strengthening his mind and body through extreme measures.
A Chris Hemsworth and Ed Sheeran collaboration was the last thing on fans' bingo cards in 2025. But the moment was as real as it could be. Hemsworth swapped his superhero cape (Thor) for a day to share the stage with the British musician and play drums in front of 70,000 people in Bucharest, Romania, last year. Although the performance, a part of Sheeran's +–=÷× Tour, was easy for the Shape of You singer, it was no ordinary task for the Hollywood star, who was doing it minus any prior experience.
The revelation of the unexpected cameo came forward after the trailer of Chris Hemsworth's upcoming docuseries Limitless: Live Better Now was released on July 17. The series, directed by Kit Lynch‑Robinson, focuses on Hemsworth's pursuits in strengthening his mind and body through extreme measures. It offers a peek into how much time and effort Hemsworth spent to get comfortable behind the drum set.
One particular scene captures Ed Sheeran walking in a field with Chris Hemsworth and urging the actor, 'You should learn the drums to play a song with me on my stadium tour." Soon, the clip cuts to another rehearsal footage of Hemsworth practising. He trains under the guidance of Ben Gordon, the coach of Australian metalcore band Parkway Drive. Despite Hemsworth admitting that he is 'struggling", he does not give up.
Noting Chris Hemsworth's progress, Ed Sheeran tells him, 'I think this actually might be the most difficult thing you do." After a tough battle with mastering the rhythm and coordination, Hemsworth delivers the live performance, drawing loud cheers from the concert-goers. To celebrate his milestone, Sheeran presents the Extraction film star a humorous 'Participation Award for Drumming Excellence' trophy.
Limitless, a three-part series, will find Chris Hemsworth undergoing Special Forces training in South Korea and ascending a 600-foot wall in the Swiss Alps. He also worked with cognitive scientists, doctors, and MMA fighters. The actor took these measures to challenge his mental resilience and improve brain health, focus and memory. 'The key to unlocking these benefits for all of us is finding the edge of our comfort zone," he explains in the trailer.
Limitless will start streaming on Disney+ and Hulu from August 15.

Lost In Views, Sachin Tendulkar Shares Pictures With 'Woolly New Friends'
The Master Blaster is enjoying a vacation with his wife Anjali and Sara and shared pictures from the scenic countryside with sheep, playfully offering them leaves. Despite knocking off a half-century two years back, Sachin Tendulkar continues to age like a fine wine. The maestro Indian batter, who retired from international cricket after a legendary career in 2013, has been spending time out with his family on various vacations. He is currently in the UK with his wife Anjali and daughter Sara and loving the scenic valleys and greenery in the countryside. On Tuesday, July 22, Tendulkar shared a series of beautiful pictures and videos, where the Master Blaster is enjoying the greenery around with sheep giving him company.

In a video, Tendulkar is seen giving leaves for the group of sheep to eat, soaking in the natural beauty of the place and its peaceful vibes. Tendulkar was recently in London for the third Test of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with Anjali and Sara, enjoying the thrilling contest between India and England. He rang the traditional bell for the start of the play. The two great rivals gave the maestro plenty to cheer about in a Test that went to the final session of the final afternoon before Ben Stokes' men came out triumphant by 22 runs. Tendulkar also took time out for Wimbledon, expressing his love affair for tennis by watching some of the finest tennis players in action at the iconic event. He met fellow legends Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg at the Royal Box and shared a picture with them. During his time in London, Tendulkar supported former teammate and 2011 World Cup champion Yuvraj Singh's gala organised to raise support for his cancer awareness programme and charity 'YouWeCan'. The gala was also attended by Tendulkar's successor and former India captain Virat Kohli, who joined hands with Yuvraj for the noble cause along with Kevin Pietersen, Brian Lara, Ravi Shastri and many other former and current cricketing stars. Even the travelling Indian team, led by Shubman Gill, stood behind the cancer awareness cause and posed for pictures with the greats at the charity gala. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 00:04 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
