Ed Sheeran fans are seeing double again. Fourteen years after Rupert Grint played his confused superfan in the "Lego House" video, the pair are back with a brand new music video for Sheeran’s upcoming song "A Little More."
In a teaser clip shared by Sheeran on Monday, August 4, the Harry Potter star is seen walking out of prison, looking a little dazed. The scene then flashes back to clips from the Lego House video, where Grint was tackled by security after sneaking into a venue and pretending to be Sheeran.
“14 years later me and @rupertgrint are reunited,” Sheeran wrote in the caption. “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.”
Still Playing the Lookalike Game
This is far from the first time Sheeran and Grint have leaned into their similar red-haired, soft-spoken charm. After the original "Lego House" video went viral in 2011, Grint kept the joke alive with a fake interview sketch on MTV News, where he claimed that Ed Sheeran wasn’t real.
“After Potter, all I wanted to do was stretch myself, create some real magic, so I created a character,” Grint says 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.”
The new song "A Little More" will appear on Sheeran’s upcoming album Play, which is set for release in September. Sheeran believes the track might be a fan favorite, saying he thinks it will be “a lot of people’s fav song” on the album.
Before the official announcement, Sheeran also shared a lighthearted video of him and Grint singing along to the lyrics, proving that the duo still enjoys keeping things weird in the best possible way.
