Nearly 70,000 fans inside Bucharest, Romania’s National Arena, got the surprise of a lifetime during a stop on Ed Sheeran‘s The +–=÷× Tour (aka The Mathematics Tour) on Saturday night. Yes, that was Chris Hemsworth playing the drums on the track “Thinking Out Loud.”
The unique moment, a first for Hemsworth, was captured for an upcoming episode on the second season of the actor’s National Geographic’s Disney+ original series Limitless With Chris Hemsworth. Though the episode has no premiere date yet, it’s expected in 2025. “Got Chris Hemsworth to learn to play drums for my stadium show,” Sheeran shared on Instagram on Saturday, moments after the show.
