Ed Sheeran on down time: 'I'm ginger, we don't really sit on beaches'

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has opened up about how he spends his down time and joked that he's unlikely to lay around on a beach because his red hair means he gets burned easily. 

Speaking to the IrishExaminer.com recently, the 'Lego House' sensation explained that he much prefers hanging out at home and watching movies when he's trying to relax:

"I'm ginger, so we don't really sit on beaches. I can't think of anything less relaxing than sitting, getting burned in the sun. No, I just shut all my doors, turned my phone off and I watched lots of DVDs. I went on a spree on Amazon, they're pretty much giving away DVDs for free these days. I bought 200 films."

Sheeran also opened up about trying to maintain or begin romantic relationships when you're a touring musician: "It's hard to hold down relationships and friendships when you travel so much. I'd been on tour for three years, got back and everything fell on me."
