Ed Sheeran fans are in for a treat as the singer has teamed up with Harry Potter star Rupert Grint once again. Fourteen years after Grint played Sheeran’s look-alike in the “Lego House” music video, the two are reuniting for Sheeran’s new video, “A Little More.”
The video, which is set to premiere on August 7, revives Grint’s role from the 2011 hit. A teaser clip shared by Sheeran shows the actor walking out of a prison, suggesting his character has been in custody for over a decade. As he walks, nostalgic clips from “Lego House” flash before his eyes, showing memories of his character’s past antics, including impersonating Sheeran and being tackled onstage.
Sheeran confirmed that “A Little More” will be featured on his upcoming album, Play, which is due out in September. In a post teasing the new track on Instagram, Sheeran wrote that he thinks it will be “a lot of people’s fav song.”
Before the official announcement, fans got a preview of the duo’s long-running friendship through a humorous video of Sheeran and Grint singing along to the new tune. After his appearance in “Lego House,” Grint famously joked in an MTV News skit that Ed Sheeran was a fictional persona he had invented. “After Potter, all I wanted to do was stretch myself, create some real magic, so I created a character,” Grint quipped. “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.”
