Rupert Grint Curbs His Stalker Impulses But Cannot Escape Ed Sheeran in ‘A Little More’ Music Video

Rupert Grint gets a little more Ed Sheeran than he bargained for in the musician’s new music video for “A Little More,” which dropped alongside the new song Thursday (Aug. 7).

In the trippy visual, the Harry Potter actor reprises his role as the British pop star’s stalker from 2011’s “Lego House” music video. After serving time in prison for sneaking into Sheeran’s concert and impersonating him on stage, Grint’s character gets a fresh start in “A Little More” — but he can’t seem to escape the singer he once obsessed over.

“I used to love you/ Now every day I hate you just a little more,” Sheeran sings on the mid-tempo track over shots of Grint grimacing as the musician seems to pop up everywhere — on billboards, posters, TV and more.

Things really take a turn, however, when Grint meets a woman and asks her to marry him. At the wedding, all of the couple’s guests morph into Sheeran, who leers at the horrified actor. With a crowd of Eds watching from the chapel pews, Grint pulls back his bride’s veil to reveal that she has also transformed into Sheeran.

“I hadn’t worked with @rupertgrint in 14 years since Lego house, so didn’t know if he’d say yes to this idea,” Sheeran wrote on Instagram after the video dropped. “But I’m so glad he did. It’s such a fun, bonkers video … Rupert, my brother from another mother, thank you for throwing yourself into this, it wouldn’t exist had you said no.”

“A Little More” marks the latest single Sheeran has shared ahead of his September-slated album, Play. So far, fans have also heard “Azizam,” “Old Phone” and “Sapphire.”

The LP will mark the first installment in the Grammy winner’s next album series, following the close of his Mathematics sequence: 2012’s Plus, 2014’s Multiply, 2017’s Divide, 2021’s Equals and 2023’s Minus. All five projects reached the top five of the Billboard 200.
