Ed Sheeran fans are seeing double once again. Fourteen years after the pop star first tapped Rupert Grint to play his stalker/doppelgänger in the “Lego House” music video, the two ginger gents have teamed up once again for a new music video, coming soon.
Arriving Thursday alongside a new song titled “A Little More,” the video will feature the Harry Potter star seemingly reprising his role from the 2011 “Lego House” visual. In a clip posted by Sheeran on Monday (Aug. 4), Grint steps out of a prison — where he appears to have spent the past decade and a half in custody — and starts walking as the memories of his past crimes flash through his mind. The montage that plays features clips from “Lego House,” showing Grint getting tackled after he sneaks into a concert venue and pretends to be the Grammy winner onstage.
“14 years later me and @rupertgrint are reunited,” Sheeran captioned the clip. “I had this wild idea after writing the song, and thankfully rupert was up for it. It’s an utterly bonkers video for a very upbeat, fun, but angry song.”
The musician also confirmed that “A Little More” will appear on his upcoming album Play, noting that he thinks it’ll be “a lot of people’s fav song” on the September-slated project. Shortly prior to the official song announcement, Sheeran posted a funny clip of himself and Grint singing along to the lyrics.
The two men have been poking fun at their similarities as fellow red-headed English stars for years. After Grint played Sheeran’s obsessive fan in “Lego House,” the Knock at the Cabin actor joked on an MTV News comedy skit that Sheeran was never a real person, but instead a character he made up.
“After Potter, all I wanted to do was stretch myself, create some real magic, so I created a character,” he said in the sketch. “He’d have the voice of an angel, impossibly wispy facial hair. So I bought a guitar and a bunch of flannel, and I called him Ed — Ed Sheeran.”
