Your support makes all the difference.Ed Sheeran isn’t content with just being a multi-award winning troubadour - the 24-year-old is set to become a movie actor, making an appearance in the upcoming sequel to Bridget Jones.
The singer-songwriter shared a selfie from the film set, featuring Renee Zellweger as the iconic titular character, on Instagram.
He wrote alongside the snap: “Spent the day being an actor in the new Bridget Jones movie. Loved it, you're gonna love it too.”
Sheeran may not have starred in a feature length film before, but the singer is no stranger to acting, having appeared as Sir Cormac in US drama The Bastard Executioner.
The upcoming film, titled Bridget Jones’s Baby, started shooting in London just last month, and features Colin Firth reprising his role as Mark Darcey.
Hugh Grant, meanwhile, will not be returning for the sequel. The film will be based on the columns author Helen Fielding wrote for The Independent between 2005 and 2006.
