The international sensation Ed Sheeran graced The Great Indian Kapil Show with his attendance in the latest episode, where he was seen enjoying the cast of the show. Ed made several revelations in the show as he narrated many untold incidents about himself before becoming famous.
In this segment of the show, Ed recalled an incident from his past where he was confused regarding choosing his career line. He confessed that he originally wanted to be an actor, not a singer.
Why did Ed Sheeran initially want to be an actor?
In the show, Kapil Sharma said that he initially wanted to be a singer, but when he came out of his house, he saw everyone singing. Therefore, he decided to change his line and became a comedian.
This reminded Ed of an incident from his past, where he narrated, “I originally wanted to be an actor as well, and I auditioned for this TV show. And it was acting with music. And I got down to, like, the final. I was, like, sixteen. I got down to the final ten people.”
Further elaborating, he stated that he, in his mind, had thought that if he got the role, he would quit the music, and if he did not, then he would quit acting.
He continues saying he quit acting because he didn’t get the show. Reverting on this, Kapil said, “You can do both. I saw you in Game Of Thrones.”
On this, Sharma cracked a punch line where he told him that he was curious to look at Ed acting in the series if he really wanted to be an actor or if he was just there to see who gets the throne.
For the unversed, the singer plays a small role as Lannister soldier in the favorite fantasy television series, Game Of Thrones.
