Ed Sheeran’s upcoming album Play is set to release on 12 September 2025.
Ed Sheeran has returned to one of his most memorable music video concepts by reuniting with Rupert Grint in his latest single, A Little More. The video acts as a follow-up to their 2011 collaboration, Lego House, and features Grint reprising his role as an obsessive fan. Directed by Emil Nava, the music video combines dark comedy, surreal elements, and nostalgia.
In the new storyline, Grint plays a man who has just been released from prison after serving 14 years for stalking Ed Sheeran. The video is part of Sheeran’s upcoming album Play, which is set for release worldwide on 12 September 2025.
What Happens in the ‘A Little More’ Video
In A Little More, Rupert Grint’s character attempts to rebuild his life after incarceration. He attends a “Stalkers Anonymous” support group, goes through therapy sessions, and finds work cleaning a mansion. During this time, he meets a woman played by Nathalie Emmanuel, known for her roles in Game of Thrones and Fast & Furious. Their connection leads to a romantic relationship and a wedding proposal.
Throughout the video, Ed Sheeran appears in multiple roles, including a prison guard, therapist, gym trainer, and wedding guest. The pivotal moment comes during the wedding ceremony: when Grint lifts the bride’s veil, it reveals Ed Sheeran in full bridal attire. The video concludes with the two characters slow-dancing under a disco ball, creating a surreal but memorable finale.
Behind the Scenes: Ed Sheeran in 60 Different Costumes
In behind-the-scenes footage shared on Instagram, Ed Sheeran revealed that the concept of the video originated from him. He said, “The story is that Rupert gets out of prison after stalking me for years, then starts seeing me everywhere. I had to get Rupert for it. It wouldn’t work with anyone else.”
The shoot lasted five days, making it Sheeran’s longest music video production to date, and required around 60 costume changes. Director Emil Nava described the shoot as “basically a movie.” Sheeran’s roles included a priest, garbage collector, gym-goer, and even the bride at the wedding. Nathalie Emmanuel joined the project at short notice and described it as “fun and wonderfully weird.”

Connection to Lego House
A Little More directly references Lego House, where Rupert Grint played an obsessed fan who sneaks backstage at a Sheeran concert. The new video imagines what could have happened after that obsession led Grint’s character to prison. The song’s lyrics reinforce this theme, reflecting a mixture of admiration and resentment. Lines such as, “Life got better when I lost you, but every day I hate you just a little more,” capture the emotional tension behind the comedic visuals.
