Is ED SHEERAN set to star in Game of Thrones?!

Ed Sheeran's running around in five fur jackets. He's sweating, he's hot, but he's jubilant. "Crows starboard, milord!" he shrieks, swatting at the air with an oversized stick. "CROWS!" Ed Sheeran wakes, a sheen on his forehead, a stick in his hand. T'was all a dream…

Yes, Ed Sheeran's got Game of Thrones on the brain, and he REALLY wants to be in it.

The fifth season may have already started, but Ed doesn't think that should hold him back from appearing in it anyway – he was offered a role as an extra three years ago but had to turn it down because of scheduling issues, and he's sworn to do whatever it takes to get to Westeros.

"Oh please let me stay and watch" "Sir, you've got to leave the set, OK?"
"Oh please let me stay and watch" "Sir, you've got to leave the set, OK?"

According to the Sun, Ed said: "There were talks ages ago of me being an extra, which could have been cool. But every time they shoot it's the time I tour in the UK.

"But I've got that time off this year, so I'm going to hound them."

Hound them. Like, Hound them. That's clever, Ed.

Looks like Ed's already got some important contacts in the* GoT* franchise – he's mates with both Maisie Williams (who plays Arya Stark) and Kit Harington (Jon Snow).

"If you watch the Glastonbury footage of my gig, Maisie's on someone's shoulders the whole time," Ed added.

Yeah, Ed, but you'll probably still have to audition, mate.
