Fans who went to a recent Ed Sheeran concert in Brisbane, Australia, got a huge surprise when Chris Hemsworth joined him on stage. Best known to the world for playing Thor in Marvel movies, Chris showed another, important side of his capabilities-taking center stage with a pair of drums.
Well, magic happened when Sheeran went on stage in Suncorp Stadium-literal thousands strong-and the crowd erupted in cheers as the actor was being introduced onto the stage. Normally seen toting Thor’s mighty hammer, Hemsworth traded that iconic accessory for a pair of drumsticks, his trademark energy in tow. The chemistry was palpable between Hemsworth and Sheeran as he slid into the band playing one of the popular hits by Sheeran.
That was captured on social media, turning viral in the blink of a second, with frenzied fans responding to such a surreal moment of two favorite stars together in that entertainingly unexpected manner. Hemsworth-athletic, versatile-didn’t look one bit out of place, kept time with the rhythm, added a dynamic layer to the performance.
That spontaneity of the moment testified not only to multi-faceted Hemsworth but also to how Sheeran made any moment special for his audiences. Fans streaming out of the concert venue were abuzz with how Sheeran’s soulful voice and Hemsworth’s great drumming prowess made the night worth remembering.
That just further solidified Hemsworth’s status as not only an action hero but a performer with great range who can surprise fans next.
