Then he gets much, much bigger than me through doing stuff. Yeah, it&#8217;s very clever,&#8221; Sheeran said in an interview this week. &#8220;I got to actually kind of learn how to act. &#8230; With the &#8216;Game of Thrones&#8217; thing, that was literally me popping in for a day and making a cameo. Or &#8216;Bastard Executioner&#8217; was me popping in for a day. But this was like full days on set, like full 12-hour days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sheeran completed his part of production earlier this year, in the middle of his latest tour. The as-yet-untitled movie is set for release in September 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;They shot it around loads of my gigs. So it was a very intense two months. Because I would have four days of gigging and then three days of shooting a film,&#8221; Sheeran said. &#8220;I was playing myself, so I don&#8217;t think I was that bad. There wasn&#8217;t much to (mess) up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 27-year-old British pop star says his long-term goal in Hollywood is to make a movie musical in the vein of the 2007 Irish romance &#8220;Once.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;I want to make something like that. Something like that where songs dictate the film in a way,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I can&#8217;t see myself playing an Avenger, you know? I don&#8217;t really want to be actor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sheeran was promoting a new Apple Music documentary &#8220;Songwriter,&#8221; focused on the creation of his last album.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Directed by his cousin Murray Cummings, it includes a scene featuring Sheeran&#8217;s fiancee Cherry Seaborn but doesn&#8217;t delve into his personal life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;I give so much of myself in my songs and in just me.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy vibramycin online <a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsclinicamarillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/vibramycin.html\">https:\/\/doctorsclinicamarillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/vibramycin.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p> And there are just certain choices that I can make, that I can keep certain things private, basically,&#8221; Sheeran said. &#8220;And I think my home and my family and my partner &#8211; I think those are things that they are very private, and they are the best things in my life. So I don&#8217;t want to ruin them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Sheeran declined to answer any questions about lawsuits alleging he improperly copied other artists&#8217; work in his hit &#8220;Thinking Out Loud&#8221; and in a song he wrote for Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;I really can&#8217;t talk about that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;After they&#8217;re done, I will talk about it.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy colchicine online <a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsclinicamarillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/colchicine.html\">https:\/\/doctorsclinicamarillo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/colchicine.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p>&#8220;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES \u2014 Ed Sheeran plays himself in Danny Boyle&#8217;s next film, his first significant role on the big screen. &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":179400,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,106],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-179399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","category-hollywood","mauthors-ryan-pearson","mauthors-the-associated-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=179399"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":284935,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/179399\/revisions\/284935"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=179399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=179399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=179399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
