Just thought I'd pop Bridget Jones's Baby on, and oh look its Ed Sheeran again, playing himself and no one knows who he is...

It might just be me, but why?!?!

Is it just me or has he gone away a bit now? God I hope so!

I cannot stand that weird posh-boy “rapping” he does on all of his songs, it’s SO cringe.

He took a break because he had a baby. He has a new single out now.

I expect he will appear in the documentary in a couple of years time about his sponsorship of Ipswich Town football club. Which many supporters of Norwich City football club hope will be about Ipswich Town failing to win promotion yet again.!!

He comes across as a sweet guy in interviews but he really, really cannot act. It is embarrassing. I think even as a kind of cameo you should be able to act otherwise it spoils the programme. I am remembering GoT Hmm.

FionnulaTheCooler · 02/07/2021 17:12

To be fair, if I was him I'd be making the most of my 15 minutes of fame too, it won't last forever.

Ponoka7 · 02/07/2021 17:12

He's turning himself into a clean cut British icon. Basically doing a McCartney. He'll be playing every royal event. He hangs around with Beckham, who'd be an ideal teacher.

Oh dear, bad news I’m afraid, he’s back. As of now.

Wait until you watch Yesterday…

In fact, just don’t put yourself through it.

Oh dear lord - hopefully he’s brushed upon his rapping skills whilst on paternity leave!

SmidgenofaPigeon · 02/07/2021 17:17

The Game ofThrones cameo was appalling. He had his guitar out round a campfire with other men from King’s Landing (who in previous seasons were happy going round raping and pillaging, not having a jolly fireside sing-along)

He actually said ‘here’s a new one’ and started playing 😂😂

MaMelon · 02/07/2021 17:17

Yesterday was brilliant - spoiled only by Ed Sheeran and Lily James. 2 people who can’t act to save themselves.

Bluntness100 · 02/07/2021 17:28

Ah I like him. I also like his rapping. I find it quite amusing when he pops up as himself in movies

And such a stupid ending, oh give up your international stardom and all the money that comes with it, because I'm too emotionally insecure

Fk off!

He's very clever, in that he changes his music style to reflect whatever is currently popular. Maximum monetary gains!

Tinysalmonswimminginastream · 02/07/2021 18:00

He is back with a new single and upcoming album so expect to see and hear him everywhere for the next few months again!

TurdCrapley · 02/07/2021 18:04

I love his music, think he's brilliant. His acting is dire though. The PP who said his 15 minutes of fame will be over soon made me laugh, he's one of the biggest artists in the world! He's not going anywhere anytime soon thankfully!👍🥳

Yeah, but c’mon - he’s gorgeous! I can forgive Himesh Patel on this occasion (not marrying LJ though - I can’t forgive that).

What was the John Lennon thing though? I didn’t understand that but at the end Confused

bonfireheart · 02/07/2021 18:08

His new song went straight to number 1 a few days after release, think he's doing OK.

ChocolateCakeYum · 02/07/2021 18:10

Can’t stand him.

His tattoos are shit too.

Pikachusbutt · 02/07/2021 18:10

He also writes pretty much every song for everyone else too. So he's not shy of a Bob or two.

MaMelon · 02/07/2021 18:12

Oh he’s incredibly talented, don’t think anyone can really deny that - he’s just become a bit ubiquitous.

I've never thought of him as a 'posh boy' at all, he seems remarkably ordinary.

I saw him in a film where he came over as extremely pleasant and relaxed but though his role was significant, he was not the star of the film. It was called 'Yesterday' and was hilarious, I recommend it.

Macncheeseballs · 02/07/2021 18:16

I love that a not particularly good looking ginger kid can make it in the music industry based on his talent, he's probably really sad about all the hate he gets when he sitting in his massive country estate

Oh it was just awful wasn’t it, huge cringe!!

And it ruined the whole ‘world’ of GoT for me, I could get totally lost in the dragons & magic and bizarre goings in but ffs Ed Sheran just being himself?? I don’t know what on earth the producers were thinking!
