Ed Sheeran & Chris Hemsworth Wield Thor’s Hammer in Singer’s End of Year Photo Recap

2023 is over, and Ed Sheeran showed fans some of his standout memories of the year...including his run-in with an Avenger. On Sunday (December 31), the British pop sensation shared a photo gallery on Instagram with numerous throwbacks of the past year. One of the pics was of him and Thor star Chris Hemsworth posing with the superhero’s hammer, Mjölnir.

"2023 dump,” Sheeran captioned the carousel. “See ya in 2024 have a good one yeah nice one love you.”

Earlier this year, the “Shape of You” singer gave Hemsworth a guitar in exchange for the God of Thunder’s famous weapon. The Australian actor documented the trade in a video on Instagram.

“Just an instrumental trade off between two blokes,” Hemsworth captioned the clip in February. “Ed Sheeran I’ll make this guitar sing like no other and you swing that hammer with all your soul.”

The photo dump also included a courtroom sketch of Sheeran’s guitar-wielding testimony during his copyright dispute over Marvin Gaye’s classic “Let’s Get it On.” In May, a Manhattan federal jury cleared him and his song "Thinking Out Loud" of the allegations, allowing the star to avoid millions in potential damages. Other reflective snapshots included Sheeran performing on the Today show, the time he crashed a couple’s Little White Chapel wedding in Las Vegas, and numerous behind-the-scenes recording studio images.

Sheeran's latest album is Autumn Variations, which he dropped in late September. He also released Subtract - his last mathematical-themed record - in early 2023. In the new year, Sheeran is gearing up for the Asia leg of his tour, which will lanch this month (January 2024).
