Ed Sheeran has said that nobody wants to see him on Game Of Thrones. The singer had a brief role in the seventh season of the show. His appearance (as a friendly Lannister soldier who sings) became the source of a lot of memes and social media trolling.
According to an IANS report, Sheeran said:
“No one wants to see me come back. I wanted to be a cameo in it, and I’ve done the cameo,” the musician told MTV News.
This hasn’t disappointed Sheeran, though. “I’m cool with it, though. I enjoyed it,” he added.
According to a TIME report, Sheeran got a role in the show because of his friendship with star Maisie Williams (who plays Arya Stark in the series).
“She’s come to gigs for years. They basically put me in a scene with her to be like ‘Hey, thanks for doing the show for so many years. Ed’s gonna be in it.’ I think, anyway. That’s what I was told.”
The singer also said that there’s no way his character could survive in Game Of Thrones.

“We were all quite young, those soldiers.I doubt I’m going to survive for that long, to be honest, when there are dragons in the world.”
Besides, the singer is not really interested in a repeat experience.
“My whole thing was like, I didn’t want to be in it for that long. because I’m not an actor. I wanted to be in it for like 30 seconds or whatever, which I kinda was, so happy days,” he added.
