Ed Sheeran may be an unlikely superstar, but he’s one of the most successful of his time. He has made his name by writing his own songs, playing everything on his guitar, and staying true to his roots (which are famously ginger and always slightly messy!).
Despite having No. 1 hits, sellout tours, appearing in films, and making famous friends, Sheeran still somehow manages to stay out of the limelight. He married his childhood sweetheart and together they have had two children, and live a quiet life away from the cameras.
