Ed Sheeran delivers a 1-2 punch in the music video for his No. 1 hit, “Shape of You.”
The barroom ditty gets a gritty Rocky-esque visual in which Sheeran plays a boxer in Seattle training for a big fight. With romance on the brain, he falls for a fellow boxer (played by Jennie Pegouskie) and the two train together and share laughs over chicken fingers.
Directed by Jason Koenig, who’s worked with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis in the past, the brooding visual takes on a fun vibe near the end, when viewers find out that the fight Ed’s been training for is actually a sumo wrestling match that he’s bound to lose in hilarious fashion.
WATCH AND ENJOY!
