Ed Sheeran won't name Hollywood fling: 'I'm British so I have to be a gentleman'

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has admitted that he did one sleep with a Hollywood movie star, but he will never share details on who it was with the press. 

In one of his new songs entitled 'Take It Back', Sheeran sings "sleeping with a movie star and adding to the population", but he has explained to Q magazine that he won't ever reveal the name of the actress he bedded because he's too much of a gentleman to give that kind of information out to the public:

"I'm British so I have to be a gentleman in these situations and not say any names. But you know what? I spent a year in America and did what any young lad would, which is experience Hollywood life. I think that's the best way to put it..."

On his forthcoming new album, there is another track called 'Don't' on which he opens up about being cheated on and while he doesn't name the unfaithful girlfriend, he has put rumours to bed by confirming that it wasn't written about tour mate and close friend, Taylor Swift:

"It's 100 percent not about Taylor. Taylor's one of these people that if you piss her off and she writes a song about you, it's not good news for you. I've never dated Taylor. I've dated a few singers, though."
