Why does Ed Sheeran always look like some guy trying to cosplay Ed Sheeran

[@187mrsmith]

Seriously I was like that's Ed that don't look like ed lmao

[@maru_90]

Ed Sheeran is not real that's why.

[@Mewwolf]

This description is so very accurate

[@dieterdohlen6386]

He's got longer hair than usual in this one. tho.

[@user-py6ws2kq3e]

He really doesn't look like one of the most famous singers ever he looks like he stays at the pub saying he could do better then the local team

[@bazza1024]

You could see the enjoyment in Kev’s face when Ed said “we’re bestfriends” 😊

Kev and his mates

[@abhisheksharath1663]

Bro actually came through with 10 things he can’t live without and not flexed on us. Respect!

[@iamsheep]

He's wearing a white ceramic piece unique AP perpetual calendar on his wrist. A normal one can fetch for $700,000 so his would probably auction for millions.Oh he's flexing. You just didn't realise it.

[@RaulRodriguez-vv8zb]

He flexed without saying what the watch was but to be honest he wears it like it was just a normal watch. Have to respect that!

[@adityashandilya2789]

​@@RaulRodriguez-vv8zbHow do you wear a watch abnormally tho?

[@yurischYT]

@@iamsheep theres a difference between owning and sharing why you love what you own (which is what Ed did) and actual flexing. he wasnt flexing at all.

[@Rell522]

Ed is 9 figures rich and seems like the most approachable, chill artist in the world. Love the guy

[@x_pure]

Well minus kev. You definitely couldn’t approach randomly with kev around.

[@DanielleRBelland]

He’s def a guy you can have a beer with in a random pub.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Money doesn't change you. It just makes you more of who you already were. He was a nice guy before -- and he's nice now.

[@lxshooter]

We have to remember Ed has also written many Songs for artists that we love to hear on a regular. Pure Gem

[@DarrenBates]

Wouldn't be my style personally, but I respect him as a gentleman and a watch collector.

[@windmacher]

Yeah this collective "we" isn't doing it for me. But he's cool.

[@balazs7235]

Can you name a couple of big ones? I enjoy finding out that a huge song by a huge name was written by some other big artist. Often ones that are polar opposites of each other.

More or less all his necessities a normal person could afford. Shows his humility, what a guy

[@Greg-WBM]

Yes, except for his $300,000 (approx…it’s a piece unique, which would likely be way higher) AP as a stage watch

[@quinton3689]

[@x_pure]

⁠@@Daniel-qz8bpluckily he said more or less. Thus distinguishing he understood there were some things there normal folks couldn’t afford but the majority of things could be.

[@astral_plane_crash]

Ed's a class act, not a big fan of his music but he always seemed like a down to earth guy. Fame didn't get to his head at all.

[@mrhappyartworks]

Sure did, he’s addressed the matter a few times.

Great Product placement to be fair..❤

[@dieterdohlen6386]

He didn't do it cause he needs that money lol, sauces, especially Heinz, have been a recurring theme with Ed ever since he got famous. He just got big enough to ask his favorite brand to make his favorite sauce for him. You think he lied when he said he puts that on everything?

[@bkm2797]

Kristopher, Maybe now that you put it out there you will, I could easily see it happening.

[@sazi07]

A chill guy, just like a regular buddy one could have. No airs around him, even though he's a superstar. His essentials are also very practical and unpretentious.

[@Xhonest03]

He just genuinly seems like such a nice amd humble guy.

[@user-jh5uc2ss1l]

Not a huge fan of his music, but this dude is down to earth and nice. Zero ego, I like him.

[@BaNeArroW]

That's how I used to be too...but there's no denying the guy is mega talented. After seeing a couple of his live performances and really lyrically listening to his songs, he's become one of my favorite contemporary artists. His songwriting skills are on another level!

[@marylenehall405]

I love how he brought out his bodyguard Ed is so genuine.Cause we all know celebrities need their body guard and nobody ever brought out their main body guard that’s why I love Ed he is so humble and sweet.

I never realized he had so many tattoos as of recent that's what's up Ed's always been a cool humble guy never involved in drama or controversy i can respect that cus its rare with this generation!

[@NayOnFrames]

NEVER involved in drama? What about Ellie Goulding? I think he should have forgiven her instead of writing a song about her. That said IF there's a thing to be forgiven, because people are born to be FREE, and I don't think she hooking up with someone else is cheating!
