The incredible moment Chris Hemsworth plays drums for Ed Sheeran in front of 70k fans

Imagine you’re rocking out at an Ed Sheeran concert and you find out that Thor has been on the drums the whole time… So it was for attendees at an Ed Sheeran concert in Bucharest, Romania recently - when Chris Hemsworth made his drumming debut in front of thousands of fans.

The magical moment went down after Chris tasked himself to learn the drums completely from scratch for the second season of his show Limitless with Chris Hemsworth, and Ed shared a sneak peek on his Instagram along with the hashtags #thorfortheencore #iwasworthy” See it below:

He explains in the video: “Basically what happened is Chris emailled 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 he has learned drums and he’s coming on stage with me in front of 70 thousand.”

“I’ve been thinking about it a lot,” says Chris as he mimes drumming. “It’ll be nice to put this one to bed.

Chris looks visibly nervous as he gears up for his starring moment before the show, but he’s shown drumming away to perfection in the clip before Ed reveals his famous bandmate - much to the delight of the crowd, who react with deafening cheers.

Ed then presents Chris with a trophy for “drumming excellence” after the show - seems he was a smash hit. We’ll have to wait until 2025, when the Disney+ Original series from National Geographic show airs, however, to see the full episode.
