It’s a full-circle moment for fans of Ed Sheeran and Rupert Grint alike. More than a decade after the release of the iconic “Lego House” music video, Ed Sheeran is bringing back his famous doppelgänger — Harry Potter star Rupert Grint — in the visual for his brand new song, “A Little More.”
The highly anticipated video drops this Thursday and marks a poignant and playful reunion between the two redheaded stars. Sheeran, known for his emotional ballads and heartfelt storytelling, once again taps into nostalgia by revisiting a character and narrative that helped define his early career.
Back in 2011, Ed Sheeran was still a rising star when he released the music video for “Lego House.” The video featured Rupert Grint playing an obsessed fan who bears a striking resemblance to Sheeran, blurring the line between admiration and imitation. The twist in the original video — revealing that Grint’s character isn’t Sheeran himself, but rather a deranged fan pretending to be him — took fans by surprise and earned widespread praise for its creativity and execution.
Now, 14 years later, Sheeran is breathing new life into that story. In a teaser clip shared on Monday, August 4, the singer offered a glimpse into the upcoming “A Little More” video. The scene opens with Grint’s character stepping out of prison, where he appears to have served a long sentence following the events of “Lego House.” Dressed in drab prison attire, Grint emerges into the daylight, looking worn but determined, as haunting memories from his past flash through his mind.
The montage includes dramatic footage from the original “Lego House” video: Grint sneaking backstage at a concert, slipping into Ed’s wardrobe, and ultimately getting tackled to the ground by security after attempting to impersonate the Grammy-winning artist onstage. These moments, once tinged with humor, now take on a darker, more reflective tone — signaling a deeper narrative arc in the new video.
Though Sheeran has yet to reveal the full storyline behind “A Little More,” the teaser already suggests a layered continuation of the saga. Fans are speculating that the video might explore themes of redemption, identity, and perhaps the blurred lines between fame and fandom.
For Rupert Grint, this marks another creative collaboration outside of his more well-known roles. Since his Harry Potter days, Grint has taken on a variety of roles in film and television, but his portrayal of Ed Sheeran’s fictional stalker remains one of his most surprising and memorable appearances. Returning to the character more than a decade later gives him the chance to add depth and emotional nuance to what originally played as quirky and comedic.
The reunion also underscores Ed Sheeran’s long-standing appreciation for storytelling and continuity in his visuals. Over the years, Sheeran has built a reputation not just for his music, but also for the cinematic quality of his music videos. From fantasy-inspired visuals to heart-wrenching relationship dramas, Sheeran knows how to craft a story that resonates — and revisiting the “Lego House” universe is a testament to that creative vision.
Fans have already flooded social media with excitement, expressing their love for the unexpected reunion and praising Sheeran for bringing back one of the most beloved concepts from his early career.
“I can’t believe we’re getting Rupert Grint back after all these years,” one fan tweeted. “This is literally the sequel I never knew I needed!”
Another wrote, “Ed Sheeran bringing back his ‘Lego House’ alter ego in 2025? Iconic behavior.”
With “A Little More” and its accompanying video set to drop on Thursday, anticipation is reaching a fever pitch. Whether you’re a longtime Sheeran listener or simply a fan of clever music video storytelling, this release promises to be one of the most exciting pop culture moments of the summer.
As Ed Sheeran continues to evolve as an artist, his ability to blend music with narrative remains unmatched. And by reuniting with Rupert Grint, he not only honors his past — he gives fans something a little more to love.
