Rupert Grint on being mistaken for Ed Sheeran: 'I just play along with it'

Rupert Grint has opened up on being mistaken for Ed Sheeran.

The flame-haired actor is often linked by appearance to the singer-songwriter and he starred in Sheeran's 'Lego House' video.

However, it seems that despite being in the world-famous Harry Potter films, Grint still gets mistaken for the musician.

He told Match of the Day magazine: "People think I’m Ed Sheeran. They compliment me on my music career and I just play along with it! It’s never too bad, you get the odd person staring at you but it’s pretty manageable."

Grint meanwhile added that he bought an ice-cream van as his first vehicle:

"Before I started Harry Potter, my main career ambition was to be an ice-cream man. In fact I bought an ice-cream van as my first car! I don’t drive it much because real ice-cream men get pretty territorial, and even if I just take it to Tesco it’s amazing how many people start queuing up to buy ice-creams."
