Ed Sheeran 'In Talks' for Role in Game of Thrones

We could actually picture this happening, you could just see Ed Sheeran fitting right in with the folks of Westeros, couldn't you? No really, he has the accent, and we all know Jon Snow is only mad for the red heads.

The 24-year-old singer is apparently 'hounding' HBO for a role in Game of Thrones after they initially approached him a few years ago but it seems there has always been scheduling difficulties.

"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," he told The Sun.

This wouldn't be the singers first stint on a famous TV show, having recently had a cameos in Shortland Street and Home and Away while touring Australia.

While it also wouldn't be the first time a famous singer has been seen hanging around Westeros, as Coldplay drummer Will Champion and Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody each had a cameo back in 2013.

Sheeran is apparently a massive fan of the show so considering he spends so much making hisĀ fans dreams come true, Game of Thrones should really just throw the guy a sword and tell him to get his Seven Kingdoms on already, don't you think?
