Ed Sheeran and Chris Hemsworth transformed a fan attention into a face-off reality as the actor-singer duo sent fans into a frenzy with arm wrestling collaboration.

On February 26, the 42-year-old posted an Instagram video of the two playing jokes on each other before tying hands together to play a friendly game. 

In order to promote his Loop Tour, in Australia Ed Sheeran arm-wrestled Chris Hemsworth at the Melbourne Marvel stadium. 

Sheeran out shocks himself in the initial round, laughing and taunting, “Do it properly. Go on, go on. He can’t.” and narrows himself to win. 

However, the sequel reverses the roles and Hemsworth trumps him with Sheeran in his seat struggling to put up a fight.

The mischievous clash was based on the brainchild of comic artist Wayne Nichols, who designed a poster in which Sheeran was fighting the Marvel superhero.

This marked Thor, who is the master of the hammer as opposed to the master of the guitar (Sheeran). 

The poster will be placed at the Marvel stadium when Sheeran is having a run during his tour in Melbourne.

In addition to the fun, Sheeran has recently highlighted how touring currently is family-friendly with wife Cherry Seaborn and daughters. 

In an interview on Mythical Kitchen, Last Meals, with host Joshua Scherer, he claimed that he enjoys performing.

However,now prefers schedules that encompass more balance, such as playing a weekend or two maximum shows.
