Chris Hemsworth, an actor, talks about his “out of body” experience playing drums at an Ed Sheeran performance
The Thor actor took the stage alongside the Bad Habits hitmaker at a concert in Bucharest, Romania, performing in front of 70,000 fans. He had recently learned to play the drums for his National Geographic series Limitless: Live Better Now and shared that he felt as if he was “floating” during the performance.
During a Q+A for the show, Chris expressed: “(It was) very much a kind of out of body experience and there’s something about being in unison and in time with, not just a band, but a mass group of people.”
“I envision it as a collective prayer, where individuals unite with a shared intention, aiming towards something uplifting, fostering a sense of interconnectedness among all.”
“That was the sensation it evoked.” It seemed to be somewhat beyond my grasp at that moment. I was simply going with the flow.
Hemsworth acknowledges the difficulty he faced in generating ideas for the new series, having been “killed emotionally and physically” by the original programme Limitless with Chris Hemsworth in 2022.
The 41-year-old star remarked, “The first series nearly took a toll on me, both emotionally and physically.” That was intentional.
“We talked about what we could address if we decide to do a second season.” What recent advancements in science are available? What areas could we elaborate on?
During the production of Limitless, Chris learned that his genetics significantly increased his risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. However, he is ready to “embrace death,” believing it cannot be avoided.
The Rush star shared with the BBC: “Suffering arises from the denial of our inevitable death – we all have an expiration date.”
“Being assured of 200 years would likely lead to increased complacency and recklessness.” The notion that life can be snatched away in an instant serves as a poignant reminder to cherish each moment.
Hemsworth aims to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s after discovering his significant risk for the disease, which takes away the memories of those affected.
He remarked, “That warning sign served as additional motivation to prioritize my well-being.”
“It seemed like an excellent chance to provide education and enhance understanding for those dealing with it, as Alzheimer’s is an issue many encounter.”
