Ed Sheeran Challenges Chris Hemsworth to Play Drums in Front of 70K People in ‘Limitless' Trailer
Ed Sheeran might make it look easy, but performing in front of 70,000 people is no easy task. Just ask Chris Hemsworth, who played drums alongside the British pop star despite having no prior experience at a concert in in Bucharest, Romania, last year. The unexpected cameo from the God of Thunder turned out to be part of Hemsworth's Limitless series with National Geographic, which finds him pursuing ways to strengthen his mind and body through extreme measures. And in a trailer for the show's new season — titled Limitless: Live Better Now — that dropped Thursday (July 17), fans get a preview of just how much time and effort it took for Hemsworth to get comfortable behind the drum set.

The video then cuts to footage of Hemsworth hammering away at his kit, at one point admitting that he's 'struggling.' When Sheeran comes in to observe his progress, the Grammy winner says frankly, 'I think this actually might be the most difficult thing you do.' Indeed, learning to play drums is one of the trickiest tests of rhythm and coordination, but Hemsworth ultimately pulled it off. In more shots from the Limitless trailer, he greets the roaring crowd from the stage at National Arena in Bucharest and successfully keeps time while Sheeran performs his 2014 hit 'Thinking Out Loud.' With episodes premiering Aug. 15 on Disney+ and Hulu, Limitless: Live Better Now is a three-part series that will also find the Extraction star climbing a 600-foot wall in the Swiss Alps and going through Special Forces training in South Korea to uncover new possibilities for mental and physical wellness. As Hemsworth explains in the trailer, 'The key to unlocking these benefits for all of us is finding the edge of our comfort zone.' In addition to being one-time bandmates, Sheeran and Hemsworth are longtime friends. When the former was named one of TIME's most influential people of 2025, the latter paid tribute to his pal in a blurb for the magazine. 'Ed Sheeran has an almost supernatural ability to connect,' Hemsworth wrote at the time. 'His songs, his voice, his words — they belong to all of us. Whether you're at home with your headphones on, driving through the countryside or in a stadium packed with 70,000 people singing at the top of their lungs, his music feels personal.'

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace has seen ratings plunge since Trump prevailed on Election Day
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who generated headlines this week for widely criticized comments about a 13-year-old cancer survivor featured in President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress, has seen her ratings suffer since Democrats lost power. Wallace's MSNBC program, "Deadline: White House," averaged 1.6 million total viewers from the start of 2024 until Election Day, then saw a dramatic 35% drop once Trump prevailed. "Deadline: White House" averaged just over one million viewers for the remainder of 2024 as its liberal audience largely tuned out the news on the heels of Trump's victory. "Deadline: White House" saw a similar decline in the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, averaging 144,000 demo viewers in 2024 before the election but shedding 35% to settle for an average demo audience of 93,000 following the devastating loss for Democrats. Msnbc Hosts Call Trump's Comments On 13-Year-old Cancer Survivor In Speech 'Disgusting' Political Move So far in 2025, Wallace's program has averaged 1.1 million viewers for a 25% decline compared to the same time period in 2024. Fox News Channel programming that airs during Wallace's 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. timeslot has averaged 3.6 million viewers this year, more than triple the viewership of "Deadline: White House." In the key demo, Wallace has averaged 108,000 viewers this year, trailing cable offerings such as "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives" on the Food Network and BET's "Tyler Perry's Sistas." Read On The Fox News App But Wallace has remained firmly in the zeitgeist, drumming up negative attention with controversial remarks. One of the most memorable moments from Trump's address on Tuesday was when he put a spotlight on teenager DJ Daniel, an aspiring police officer who was told by doctors six years ago he had five months to live when he was first diagnosed with brain cancer. "Tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the biggest honor of them all," Trump said. "I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Curran, to officially make you an agent of the United States." 13-Year-old Cancer Survivor Earns Standing Ovation As He Becomes Secret Service Agent During Trump Speech When Wallace appeared on MSNBC's post-address coverage, she linked the young boy to Jan. 6 and the suicide of Capitol Police officers. "I let myself feel joy about DJ, and I hope he's alive for another, you know, 95 years, and I hope he lives the life he wants to live. He wants to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do, and maybe when you have childhood cancer, that crystallizes for you," Wallace told viewers before taking a dark turn. "I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer," Wallace continued. "But I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump's supporters, and if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide, and I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people." Karoline Leavitt Calls Out Nicolle Wallace Over Comment On 13-Year-old Cancer Survivor, Trump 'Hatred' The comments ignited sharp condemnation, even making their way to the White House. "Frankly, what Nicolle Wallace said- I've never been a fan of hers, and she's not very talented, but I will tell you what she said the other day about the young man is disgraceful. She should be forced to resign," Trump said on Thursday. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also put Wallace on blast during Wednesday's press briefing. Wallace was heavily scolded on social media and generated a plethora of negative headlines. The New York Post, Newsweek, TheWrap, Daily Mail and The Baltimore Sun were among the outlets to put a spotlight on backlash over her linking Daniel to Jan. 6 and the suicide of Capitol Police officers.
