Ed Sheeran on 'Photograph' music video: 'It's touching people cry watching it'

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran recently unveiled his music video for 'Photograph' and revealed that he's overwhelmed at the fact that people are finding it so touching. 

Speaking to Billboard magazine about the visual, the star explained that while he didn't get emotional at the video, his manager did: "My manager cried, and I kind of looked over to him and was like, 'Really?' I guess because it's me, I'm not really going to [cry]. But I'm glad other people cried!"

The 'Lego House' sensation also recently opened up about the decision to use personal footage to create the music video and admitted that it came about because he didn't have the time to make a proper video from scratch:

"A couple of reasons, I had no time to shoot an actual video, and two I was sitting at home at Christmas and my dad had found all the old footage and had it turned into DVDs for our Christmas present and we were looking through them and I thought 'that's amazing stuff'. We were making a big documentary and so I asked if I could use some of that, and then looking at it I thought this could work for a music video as it was going chronologically so it's cool."
