Chris Hemsworth has always preferred the limits of his physical fitness to play the Asgardian god of thunder, but the screen muscles were by no means his only goal.
In 2022, the Australian actor published six episodes of National Geographic's Unlimited with Chris Hemsworth. The endeavor should challenge him physically and mentally in the name of longevity, and so Hemsworth went to a 100-foot rope that dangled in the middle of a thousand meter canyon on a rope car. On the way he found that he had an increased risk for Alzheimer's, and so the Disney+/Hulu-Streaming series became even more meaningful for him. (Before the next second episode, the series was delivered by the series Unlimited with Chris Hemsworth To Borderless: Now they live better nowThe question arises as to whether other people who are not called Hemsworth join the fold to cross their own limits.)
Borderless: Now they live better now Returns on August 15 with three new episodes, of which the first “Brain Power” Hemsworth gives the not enviable task to learn the drums in just two months so that he can perform 70,000 people live with Ed Sheeran. The second episode, “Pain”, has confronted the root of his chronic back pain through training with special units in South Korea. And the three-part capper, “risk”, finds Hemsworth, who climbed a 600-foot dam into the Swiss Alps, which took the place of another exploit in which he surfed a 40-foot wave. Understandably, Disney and Marvel Brass put the Kibosh on his attempt to output themselves as Patrick Swayze Point break Character, Bodhi.
“I wanted to try to surf a 40-foot wave and train with large wave specialists, but we couldn't bring them through the ranks. The risk assessment was basically too far away, so I rose to a 200-meter DAM wall,” says Hemsworth The Hollywood reporter In the middle of the sound. “They both have an appropriate risk that is bound to them, but [the dam climb] I passed the risk assessment team. So there was definitely definitely [concern from above]: No, we need him to shoot Thor next. We cannot let him drown while we film a large waves. '”
Speaking of Thor, Hemsworth published a YouTube video With the title “Thank you! The legacy of Thor” a few months after his casting at the end of March notice In the Russo brothers' Avengers: Doomsday. Of course, the two-minute video caused an online frenzy when the fans quickly speculated that Hemsworth said goodbye as a Thor before his last round. Theories soon followed, and many wondered whether Thor has a fateful encounter with Robert Downey Jr.s Doctor Doom à la, whom his brother Loki had with Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War.
Hemsworth now makes it clear that the above reading was not what he and his social media team intended.
“I got a few people about it, and someone in my team said:” Ugh, we had the wrong impression here. “We didn't do any [damage control]; No damage control was required. But a little was read a little, ”says Hemsworth.“ I was [already] Without another chapter of this figure, and this trip was most of my career. So [the video] Was a moment of gratitude and it was nothing else. But it was definitely wrongly interpreted and perceived in a different way. ”
As for his other action franchise, Hemsworth and his creative partners are still in the process of finding out what the next step for Black Ops Mercenary Tyler Rake is.
“[Tyler Rake is] become restless. We, the creative team, put together some different ideas and creative differences where we can take the whole place and the [third] Film, “says Hemsworth.” But the intention is certainly to make someone else. I don't know exactly when, but yes, it will come. “
Below during a recent conversation with Th.Hemsworth also discusses the most important differences between every season of LimitlessAs well as the time he felt when he learned to drum in record time.

Now that they are nine chapters in them LimitlessWhat was the most important eye opener on the way?
In the first season I was much more a guinea pig. I was kept in the dark by design and in these experiences and these challenges with little or no knowledge of what they were, thrown into these experiences. So I learned when I went, and this time it was more experience journalism. I was able to create the show with the production team and see various modalities and science that were available in terms of longevity, health and well -being. I looked at what impressed a kind of curiosity in myself and what was personal for me and how I could refer to it. So there was more an introspective journey than in the first season.
I am at another point in my life. I am 42 this year and this show forced me again and again to ask deeper questions. It enabled me to observe or examine or examine different parts of my personality or my genetic make -up or my physical, emotional and spiritual skills. I was either thrown into rooms that I had [no] Awareness of or spaces that made me very uncomfortable. Therefore, I am very grateful for it and that I have a better understanding of the ebb and the flow of things.
The biggest thing I learned from this season was to surrender to what is right in front of me and to continue anyway. I was immersed in the experience and I let this trip come from a deeper place to check or collect the boxes and to collect parts and put together a kind of puzzle. So that became much more personal.

The premiere of the second season, “brain performance”, gave me great fear. Her buddy from Parkway Drive, drummer Ben Gordon, really knew how to sell the high operations from Drumming live for Ed Sheeran After only two months of training.
((Laughs.))
When they said they had to cancel everything else in their lives at a certain point, what does that mean exactly?
Well, the truth is that I didn't. I should have canceled a lot more. At that time I was in and out of a press tour. I had other labor obligations. I have three children and couldn't cancel them, so they were still there. ((Laughs.) I would have loved to send them somewhere else for a few weeks and applied my complete focus on it, but I couldn't. So it was rather my focus and the understanding of what was in front of me and separate from the other things, places and various directions that I was drawn in. It took two weeks when it really came home. I had about six to eight weeks to learn and kept putting it. And about two weeks I realized that I didn't know the song. I was in space without return. Basically it was too late.
So I went home and started drumming and I literally led my fingers up this week. When I made the show, I had my fingers everywhere. So I thought nothing else and although it is not the best way to work, I sometimes work a little better in this room. Fear can be a pretty good motivator until he breathes down his neck. Sometimes reality is not so alive. So I was certainly afraid, but the experience and the enthusiasm and the somewhat unkindle feeling that I was recorded while playing-and after that, the kick of the endorphine and other was anything else I have ever experienced.
It was not just the side by side, possibly to switch from fear or failure to success. It was part of something that is far larger than me. 70,000 people sing along in unison and moved to this beat, this track, this song, this artistic creation that Ed gathered, and I was a piece of this puzzle. It felt like universal prayer or meditation or something could feel on a large global scale. And as stupid and orchestrated in what way it was, there was something I got a look at it, and it was something very special. I am very grateful for that.
During her ascent of a 600-foot dam, I kept thinking of all of your producers and studio heads that will be hyperventilizing when you see this film material. Did you have to include many of these heroic deeds between film contracts?
Somehow, yes. But this was National Geographic, the Disney+is what Marvel is. So they had an eye on it, and there was initially a large wave episode. I wanted to try to surf a 40-foot wave and train with large wave specialists, but we couldn't bring it through the ranks. The risk assessment was basically too far away, so I climbed a 200-meter DAM wall. ((Laughs.) Both have an appropriate risk that is associated with them, but it exceeded the risk assessment team. So there was definitely definitely [concern from above]: “No, we need him to shoot Thor next. We cannot let him drown while we film a large wave episode.” ((Laughs.) That came up.

You posted a YouTube a few months ago video About Thor's legacy and the Internet overreacted as if they were able to say goodbye to the figure in the near future. Was that not The intention?
((Laughs.) It was certainly not the intention. To be honest, my social media team put together some film materials and said: “Oh, that could be cool. We will put up a few things and thank the fans.” And I said: “Yes, cool. It was great.” So we wrote it together and I went to do something else. But then I got a few people about it, and someone in my team said: “Ugh, we had the wrong impression here.” ((Laughs.) We didn't do any [damage control]; No damage control was required. But a little was read. I was [already] Without another chapter of this figure, and this trip was most of my career. So [the video] Was a moment of gratitude and it was nothing else. But it was definitely wrongly interpreted and perceived in a different way.
Finally they have checked in extraction'S Tyler Rake lately? Will he be restless?
He gets restless. He is. My inner Tyler -Rake feels a certain level of protest and must certainly be released. This is something we are working on, yes. We, the creative team, put together some different ideas and creative differences where we can take the whole place and the [third] Film. But the intention is to make someone else. I don't know exactly when, but yes, it will come.
