Ed Sheeran Would Do A Movie Musical If The Right Story Came Along
Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has long been fascinated by the idea of turning his life into a film or musical, but he says it's not something that would be an interesting story just yet. While he admires movies about artists' lives, such as Eminem's 8 Mile, which weaved music around the rapper's life, Sheeran believes there isn't enough to make a compelling narrative out of his own experiences.
However, when the right story comes along, Sheeran is open to exploring it in a movie musical format. He reveals that he thinks this would be an exciting way to bring his music and life together, with two separate art forms complementing each other perfectly – just as watching an amazing movie like Once could inspire a stage musical.
Despite having dabbled in film and television as a singer-actor, including playing versions of himself in Bridget Jones's Baby, Yesterday, and Red Notice, Sheeran is not eager to commit to a biopic. Instead, he envisions a story that showcases new songs with an intriguing narrative. This approach would allow him to explore his music without becoming overly self-indulgent.
Sheeran has already contributed to the soundtrack of F1: The Movie, which won an Emmy for its Best Compilation Soundtrack, and now finds himself in a favorable position for potential Oscar recognition, despite a previous snub of his song "I See Fire" from The Hobbit. He downplays expectations, instead focusing on creating music that resonates with people.
Although Sheeran was not able to participate in F1: The Movie as a cameo performer due to its completion timeline, he remains open to future collaborations and is even eyeing potential cameos for other films or productions. However, one notable exception stands out – his interest in participating in Peter Jackson's Middle-earth projects.
"It would be a Hobbit," Sheeran says with confidence, when asked if he'd like to join the upcoming project. With an impressive filmography and numerous Grammy wins under his belt, including an Emmy, Sheeran's creative endeavors are always worth watching for – and who knows what future surprises might come along?

I think this is a great lesson in being true to yourself and not just doing something for the sake of it. Ed Sheeran isn't rushing into making a movie musical because he wants to do something that's meaningful to him, not just something that'll make money or boost his ego. It takes courage to wait for the right story to come along, but in the end, it's about creating something authentic and true to who you are as an artist 
.
anyway idk about this movie musical thing but if its gonna be good i'm defo here for it 
his collab with peter jacksons middle earth project tho is kinda exciting who knows what kinda magic they can do together 
also, ed shearans music is just so underrated btw have u heard his song "the a team" 
But seriously, I think if the right story comes along, he'd totally knock it out of the park. I'm loving how he's not just focused on doing some generic biopic – he wants to explore new music and create something with an intriguing narrative 
. But let's be real, it'd be amazing if he got the chance to work on Peter Jackson's Middle-earth projects 
. Can you imagine Ed Sheeran as a hobbit? 
. he's already done some acting gigs in bridget jones's baby and yesterday, so he's not afraid of the spotlight 
. but let's be real, he's been snubbed by oscars before 
. meanwhile, peter jackson's middle earth projects could be a good fit for him 
. maybe they could adapt one of his songs into a movie though? that would be cool 
. He's all about exploring a movie musical thingy because it'll be a great way to cash in on his fame and maybe even get some more Grammy's 
. And what's with him being so down-to-earth about not wanting to do a biopic? It's just a clever way of avoiding the real questions, you know? What's really going on behind those puppy eyes? 
. But what I think would make this project really special is if it's not just about his personal story, but also one that complements his music, like the movie Once did. That way, we get to see a deeper connection between the film and the songs. And can you imagine him in Peter Jackson's Middle-earth projects? 
! I think it would be amazing if he found the right story to bring his music and life together. He's already shown us how talented he is in bridging music and film with projects like Bridget Jones's Baby and Yesterday 
I think Ed Sheeran's got a knack for creating music that inspires, so if he could do it in a movie musical format, I'd totally be down to watch it 
And who knows, maybe we'll see him make a cameo in some other awesome projects! 
He's got so many great songs to draw from, and if the right narrative comes along, it could be magic 
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to see Ed Sheeran's quirky personality on the big screen? 
and it would def bring his music to life in a way that's both personal and cinematic. i'm low-key hoping for a biopic now lol but ed says there isn't enough juicy drama in his life yet 
, so we'll just have to keep an eye out for the right story to come along! 
might be interested in working on something like peter jackson's middle earth project tho
