Harry Potter Star Rupert Grint, Ed Sheeran Rekindle Their Chemistry After 14 Years
Last Updated: The music video picks up after Rupert Grint's character gets out of prison for sneaking into Ed Sheeran's concert and impersonating him on stage. On Thursday, August 7, Ed Sheeran dropped the much-awaited music video for his latest single, A Little More, featuring none other than Harry Potter star Rupert Grint. The music video marks the reunion of Ed Sheeran and Rupert Grint, as the Harry Potter star reprised his role as Sheeran's stalker from 2011's Lego House. Known for playing Harry's best friend, Ron Weasley, in the popular fantasy franchise, Grint reunites with Ed for the much-awaited music video, heightening the excitement among the fans. A Little More marks the collaboration between the two stars after 14 years since the release of Lego House. The music video picks up after the actor's character gets out of prison for sneaking into Sheeran's concert and impersonating him on stage. The video then goes on to show Grint's character starting afresh but getting haunted by his past, as he cannot get the singer's memories out of his mind and keeps getting bothered by them wherever he goes. 'I used to love you/ Now every day I hate you just a little more," Sheeran sings, explaining Grint's insufferable condition, where he sees the singer everywhere – be it on the streets, on television, or billboards. Things take a turn for the better when Grint meets a woman (played by Natalie Emmanuel) and decides to get married. But his guilt has not yet gone, as he keeps seeing all the wedding guests turn into Sheeran, leading him to frown. Grint ultimately turns a blind eye to the unbelievable turn of events and chooses to take off the bride's veil, only to discover that she has morphed into Sheeran wearing a wedding gown. The playful music video refreshes the duo's bond, making fans excited and nostalgic at the same time. Ed Sheeran's Note For Rupert Grint Sharing a clip from the music video, Ed Sheeran penned a heartfelt note, talking about his experience of working with Rupert Grint after 14 years. 'I hadn't worked with @rupertgrint in 14 years since Lego House, so I didn't know if he'd say yes to this idea. But I'm so glad he did. It's such a fun, bonkers video. It was the longest video shoot I had ever done at that time, and the most costume changes. Shout out to @emilnava for always bringing my mad ideas to life. And @nathalieemmanuel too for being amazing. Rupert, my brother from another mother, thank you for throwing yourself into this; it wouldn't exist had you said no," Sheeran wrote.
