Overview

  • Safety concerns led to the cancellation of his planned 40-foot wave surf stunt, so Hemsworth instead scaled a 200-meter Swiss dam wall.
  • Hemsworth learned to play drums in just weeks and suffered blistered hands before joining Ed Sheeran on stage in front of 70,000 fans.
  • During South Korea’s “pain valley” gauntlet, he relied on controlled breathing and camaraderie to navigate freezing ice-water challenges.
  • Limitless: Live Better Now is now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu with a National Geographic broadcast scheduled for August 25.
  • Driven by his genetic risk for Alzheimer’s, Hemsworth uses each extreme challenge to educate viewers on resilience and longevity.
