He recently took up drumming, and now Chris Hemsworth performed in front of 70,000 listeners at an Ed Sheeran concert.
Fans of British pop star Ed Sheeran (33) were amazed when Marvel star Chris Hemsworth (41) appeared on stage in front of them on Saturday evening (August 24). At Sheeran’s concert in the National Stadium in Bucharest, Romania, the Thor actor played the drums – even though he had only recently started learning the instrument.
“You need Mjolnir drumsticks!”
Sheeran shared a video of the performance on Instagram on the evening of the acclaimed performance. In the clip, the 33-year-old says: “We’re here in Bucharest. Chris sent me an email last December saying he was making a documentary about cognitive health and the benefits of learning an instrument. He came to visit me, learned to play the drums and now he’s coming on stage in front of 70,000 people.”
Sheeran then introduced his famous drummer to the fans present at his concert, which was met with frenzied cheering. After the show, Sheeran presented Hemsworth with a homemade award backstage, which he will always remember his performance.
Fans and followers on Instagram were thrilled by the Marvel star’s performance. “Imagine being at an Ed Sheeran concert and having the best time and then finding out that Thor was playing drums the whole time?” wrote one user. “That’s fantastic! You definitely need custom Mjölnir drumsticks though!” said another person, referring to Thor’s hammer Mjölnir, which Hemsworth wields in his iconic role in the Marvel universe.
