Ed Sheeran Reveals Perks of Being Weird and Strange As Child

I was a weird kid,” Sheeran tells Fresh 102.7’s Karen Carson. “I was really strange. I didn’t have many friends in primary school.” Sheeran’s “strange” behavior shaped him as he grew older, manifesting itself in his early songwriting while in secondary school at Thomas Mills High School in Framlingham. As for the cool kids, they’re doing their own thing. Watch the full video above and for music news and album release info, visit radio.com

"I bought my security guard a watch... because he wanted one." He's so cute.

[@Amy-si8my]

When he says "weird kids grow up to be interesting adults" makes me have hope 😂😂👍

[@futuregirl3]

Amy Hearts The Janoskians "Blessed are the weird people: poets, misfits, writers, mystics, painters, troubadours. For they teach us to see the world through different eyes." Jacob Nordby "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music." Friedrich Nietzsche "Know thyself, and to thine own self be true". Be you. It's the only way to live. Believe in yourself and be proud of your unique individuality. There's a very good reason it's said, " No one's opinion of you is more important than your opinion of yourself". And remember: "The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before". Albert Einstein "Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Ralph Waldo Emerson

[@matzy2426]

[@LemonOperations]

I think I'D want a mini if I were him, too lol Particularly a Countryman. I just have a thing for small cars

[@Moeller0200]

I reckon you've heard him tell about the Jaguar he bought by now?

[@mariama.1538]

the way his face lit up when she said he looked fabulous and his response made my heart smile

[@emilyhehn282]

Good interview. He's so adorable.

[@emilyhehn282]

+Emily Hehn Saw him in concert in Orlando on 9/8/2015! Awesome show!!!!!!

[@jasminewaites9085]

+Emily Hehn I did too ! It was a great show, true talent.

[@aza4632]

Emily Hehn um...what I watched was awkward and so generic from her I guess Americans are use to being fake 🤔🙄🤣

[@stephanie2905]

I don't think he understands how hard it still is to get tickets to one of his concerts

[@joelonslow9626]

Yea I've been trying for 6 weeks nd still haven't got one yet

[@mastiffmom2592]

Please don’t tell me that. 😭 I’m dead set on seeing him in concert. My hope just plummeted 💔

[@anigachoco]

I do honestly think he is inspiring. He is such an honest and genuine person that he makes me want to do my best each and every day.

[@spadrine]

He is just too adorable.

[@DandamanV]

It's almost like this lady wants to be his mum, she's really quite proud of him.

[@alliahmiguel1119]

Can't believe people managed to hate him, he's so goofy and adorable, love him so much.

[@JuliaGulia_Creative]

i just want to be ed's friend so much...i love him

[@lexiefournier]

This lady is like about to jizz her pants.. I don't blame her tbh, he's so fucking cute.

[@dpmc28]

I feel fabulous!!! Loved that

[@gustafson2016]

"Fabolous" I love the way he says that word.

[@gracesichel3409]

Hi Ed, just to let you know your Fan base is getting older, I am 57! And waited 3.5 hours to get tickets for your Bordeaux concert 2019... can’t wait to go to your concert..

[@Rosierainbow17]

I have a friend who likes to call me weird, and I know I am, but next time she says it, I will just be like 'yeah well so is Ed'.

[@rishabhgolchha3447]

Rosierainbow95 she'll have to shutup then bahaha

[@vijant1395]

Rosierainbow95 I say that all the time. It's good to be a bit weird

[@HarryPotter-kg3ds]

He used to be weird... He is not at all weird now

[@MadonnaGrogan]

❤

[@AdinaIspas]

She's fangirling :D

[@alist5983]

He seemed more comfortable on The Breakfast club radio station. Bless him

[@MilkyWayToHeaven]

A list How much botox are you on?

[@alist5983]

milkywaytoheaven​ luckily I'm black. So none 😊

[@MilkyWayToHeaven]

A list so all black people use botox then

[@JamesNicks]

A list Ed likes people that are real and straight up with him. As much as Karen is nice, she's got a slightly over 'nicey nicey' feel to her communication.

[@doraaaa0613]

A list Slay, gurl.

[@livieegee]

the way he said ya'll in his regular accent was the cutest thing ever lol

[@girlpower13578]

As a girl from Tennessee the beginning of this interview made me smile awfully big

[@lorrainekatzberg4872]

Saw Ed in NJ 0n 5/30 with my 69 year old friend, won the tics on Fresh 102.7! It rocked and I can't wait for next one! I'm 58 years old, & his comment that "older" people don't sit & wait to hit button 4 tics prompted this. I do, & when I want a guaranteed tic I use my American Express card during pre-sale offers. I'm true to myself & different in many ways. My adult children think I'm "weird", eg. I talk to strangers. when they were young & told not to I explained that a stranger is just a friend you haven't met, but that until they matured or while alone not to. Recently, @ 26 & 31 they called it "weird" again, so I used modern terms & told them I was social networking..They don't question it anymore! My Dad's name was Eddie, he had a locksmith shop & I've been a licensed Locksmith since 1978, b4 "Women's Lib", I still stick out which surprises me, but it's my passion & I've earned respect in & out of the field. Dad's gone 35 years, so an added bonus is a spiritual connection to him. All Ed's are dear 2 me, but I've respected & followed Ed Sheerans' music, writing skills, and looping since I first saw him on TV. I tell everyone how amazing his multi-tasking skills are, and send the link of "Storytellers" to show who he is and what he does. He's a star on his musical talents and voice alone, but being multi-talented is what gets my respect. Ed, MJ holds a place in my heart that I doubt anyone can replace, but keep doing & being who you are, you just might get to that level, I might not live to see it or be willing to give up my loyalty to MJ, but just comparing Ed to MJ's genius is the ultimate compliment, & I don't often do it.

[@deejbyrd]

Foof is now officially my favorite word.

[@robincollis8580]

He is too cute! Love his music and his personality!

I have 6 grand children! But your music spoke to our hearts as we were teens when we married and this September 23 and that would have been 46 years of marriage. You are so wonderful, kind and the REAL DEAL! Refreshing and romantic! Come To Augusta, GA! We will keep it under cover and you can enjoy out southern charm. We can make sure you have some moonlight time by the river ! The beach is the way- for certain !
