Rupert Grint doesn’t even look that much like Ed Sheeran, really
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 8 March 2017
Brains are funny old things, aren’t they? The amount of stuff they can do is amazing, and yet they still manage to be utterly shit at a lot of it.
Recognising people, for example. Half the time when you see someone famous your brain will decide you probably went to school with them. On other occasions, it just picks a couple of characteristics and selects the last person you thought of who fits that description.
Say, for example, you saw Rupert Grint walking down the street, your brain probably wouldn’t search long enough to realise that it’s Rupert Grint. It’d just think: ‘Mid-20s, ginger hair: Ed Sheeran’.
“It’s kind of 50/50 now”, Grint told James Cordon on ‘The Late Late Show’ yesterday. “If someone stops me, it could go either way, I could be Ed or I could be me. Leo Sayer came up to me and said he loved my music, of course thinking I was Ed. I just play along”.
The actor did somewhat bring it on himself though, having once starred in an Ed Sheeran music video. Still, for future reference, print out these pictures. This is Ed Sheeran and this is Rupert Grint.
