As per We Got This Covered, Ed Sheeran spoke about his controversial cameo on Game Of Thrones season 7. “It was great,” he said of the day’s shoot. But the reaction to his cameo weren’t so welcoming. “I feel like people’s reaction to it sort of muddied my joy to it,” he admitted. “I feel like I pissed off a lot of people by being in that, but anytime I meet someone that is like, ‘oh you cameoed on that show,’ I’m like, ‘What would you say?’ Everyone would say yes. I was a fan of the show: they asked me to be in it. I didn’t expect there to be that much backlash but I am definitely more careful when I am offered cameos now”.
