Ed Sheeran collects movie props, he shared on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast this week.
The "Bad Habits" singer said he owns "Hook" costumes, C-3PO from "Star Wars," and a Batgirl suit.
Sheeran said he wanted George Clooney's "Batman & Robin" costume — and would pay six figures for it.
Even the world's biggest pop stars have nerdy hobbies, Ed Sheeran revealed on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast this week.
When he's not penning record-breaking songs or performing them to sold-out stadiums, the "Shivers" and "Shape of You" singer enjoys browsing online auctions and scooping up movie props.
"I'm a huge 'Hook' fan, so I bought Robin Williams' Pan costume and Rufio's sword and then Julia Roberts' Tinkerbell costume," Sheeran said. Actor Dante Brasco plays Rufio, the leader of the Lost Boys, in the Peter Pan sequel.
The British singer-songwriter said those items cost less than six figures each, but he's spent that kind of money on props in the past.
"I bought C-3PO. That was … not cheap," he said. Other props from the original "Star Wars: A New Hope" movie have sold for huge amounts in recent years, including two X-Wing starfighters that fetched about $2.4 million and $3.1 million each.
Podcast host Alex Cooper asked Sheeran if he regretted spending so much. He replied emphatically that he did not.
"I just buy one prop a year for my birthday," Sheeran said, adding that he looked forward to his annual purchase and thought all year about what he'd buy next.
"I'm trying to get the George Clooney 'Batman costume," he said, noting "Batman & Robin" has a special draw for him as it's the first movie in the franchise he watched.
Sheeran said he already owned the Batgirl costume worn by Alicia Silverstone in the movie, and he wanted a matching set.
Cooper asked Sheeran how much he'd be willing to shell out for the Batman costume. "I would go up to six figures for it, I think … that's like history though, it's history."
The costume in question appears to have sold at auction for $63,000 on March 26, an online listing shows. Sheeran didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
Cooper also queried his eBay habit. Sheeran said he spent "a lot of time in hotel rooms," and music and movies were his "two passions."
During their conversation, the former busker revealed that he'd purchased an old pub counter on eBay. He used it to convert a run-down barn on his property into a pub where he keeps his movie props and memorabilia such as signed footballs.
Sheeran added that there's a tunnel connecting to the pub and he's built a cinema and listening room in it, so it's less of a ""man cave" than a "man catacombs."
