Wednesday 23 November 2022 11:11 PM Chris Hemsworth takes ice bath as part of Limitless with Centre challenge as he ... trends now

Chris Hemsworth took an ice bath as part of the Limitless with Centre challenge he posted on Wednesday. 

The 39-year-old actor posted a social media clip where he took the plunge in an icy tub of water. 

'If you want to join me, find yourself an ice bath and try to stay in it for three minutes,' the Thor actor told his more than 56 million followers. 

He then hopped into the bath, almost instantly saying he needed to go to his 'happy place' to get through the harrowing experience. 

Hemsworth then cracked several jokes before relaying an experience he had in Norway when he swam in icy cold water on a frigid day. 

He swam in freezing arctic waters earlier this month to increase his health and longevity. He went a full 250 yards for his new television show, Limitless, now streaming on Disney+. 

Hemsworth joked in the clip that he could stay in the water for 30 minutes and even invited his friend running the timer to jump in the bath with him. 

'One of the biggest benefits from an ice bath is mood elevation,' The Avengers star said. 'I think it's because, when you're in here, you feel like you're dying and when you get out you feel like you're alive again.' 

Though he was joking earlier in the video about a friend joining him, the friend did hop into the bath with 30 seconds remaining to finish out the challenge with Chris.
