UPDATE: Chris Hemsworth has taken an exciting leap into music, enlisting Ben Gordon, drummer of the renowned Australian metalcore band Parkway Drive, for drum lessons ahead of a live performance with Ed Sheeran. This thrilling collaboration will be featured in the next episode of Hemsworth’s NatGeo/Disney+ series, Limitless: Live Better Now, premiering on August 15, 2025.
Hemsworth’s journey takes a significant turn as he prepares to perform in front of a staggering 70,000 fans in Bucharest. This episode not only showcases his attempt to master the drums but also highlights his commitment to personal growth and challenges. Gordon, who has been friends with Hemsworth for approximately seven to eight years, shared with Australia’s Today Extra the amusing yet supportive nature of their collaboration.
“It was good fun, actually,” Gordon explained, revealing that he was the go-to choice for Hemsworth’s musical endeavor due to their long-standing friendship. Initially expecting to remain off-camera, Gordon found his role pivotal as Hemsworth faced the daunting task of learning an entirely new skill.
Reflecting on Hemsworth’s early drumming abilities, Gordon candidly admitted, “When he first came to me, he was really bad.” However, he praised the actor for embracing the challenge of tackling something outside his comfort zone. “No one in the world is good at everything, even Chris Hemsworth,” Gordon noted. “He was a complete novice. He had no idea about it. He had no rhythm.”
After months of intensive practice, Hemsworth’s determination culminated in a live performance alongside Sheeran, showcasing not just his hard work but also the fun and spirit of the challenge. This episode, airing on both Disney+ and Hulu, promises to deliver an entertaining look at Hemsworth’s journey, emphasizing the importance of stepping outside one’s comfort zone.
