Ed Sheeran’s New ‘A Little More’ Video: A Fan’s Stalker Fantasy!
Ed Sheeran’s New Video: A Blast from the Past
Ed Sheeran recently unveiled the music video for his latest single, “A Little More.” This release reintroduces fans to a character from the beloved “Lego House” video, creating a fascinating connection to the past.
Revisiting a Familiar Face
In the original video, Rupert Grint, famously known as Ron Weasley from Harry Potter, portrayed an obsessed Sheeran fan. His character took fandom to an extreme level, sneaking onto the stage during concerts and even getting ahold of Sheeran’s used gum.
A Journey of Recovery
The new video, directed by Emil Nava, centers on Grint’s character as he returns to his childhood home after serving time for his stalking behavior. His room remains filled with Sheeran merchandise, a reminder of his past obsession. Throughout the video, he attends “Stalkers Anonymous” meetings, catches up on past interviews of Sheeran, and slowly attempts to reintegrate into everyday life.
A New Beginning
While trying to move on, Grint’s character unexpectedly encounters Sheeran at a gym. Before he can fall back into old habits, he meets a girl, falls in love, proposes, and begins to forge a new life. However, remnants of his obsession linger, as he continues to see Sheeran’s visage in the faces of those around him.
The Lyrics Tell a Story
The song captures this emotional struggle, with lyrics like, “Cause I used to love you / Now every day I hate you just a little more.” Throughout the video, Sheeran reflects on how life has improved since letting go of his past relationship, even as he grapples with lingering feelings.
A Hilarious Wedding Twist
In a comedic twist towards the end of the video, Grint’s character walks down the aisle with his partner. Yet, he humorously envisions Sheeran’s face on attendees, even under her wedding veil. The video concludes with a memorable post-credits scene featuring Sheeran in a wedding dress, fully committed to the choreography of a waltz, teasing fans with hints of a new track from his upcoming album.
What’s Next for Ed Sheeran?
“A Little More” follows earlier singles, including “Sapphire,” where Sheeran collaborates with Arijit Singh, and “Azizam.” To further engage fans, Sheeran has updated his Spotify profile to feature a photo of Grint, enhancing the whimsical stalker narrative. This single sets the stage for his album Play, which will release on September 12 and marks his first LP without the signature math symbols.
