It seems dominating pop music and crushing chart records isn't enough for Ed Sheeran - apparently, he's got another talent stored up his colourfully tattooed sleeve.
The Framlingham-born-and-bred superstar told The Sun he has set his sights on a new path - film.
"I really want to make a film that I do the soundtrack for and star in - that's my next thing," he said.
"I look at a film like Notting Hill and I think that's like a brilliant benchmark, or Once. So if you were to mix Notting Hill with Once, I would say that would be a good start."
And this isn't just a fantasy, he's actually trying to make it happen: "I am in talks with one filmmaker that I really f**king love and we are going to slowly but surely put something together.
"I would want to cast all unknowns. I want to have a low-budget, indie, British-made film," he added.
What to Read Next
In case you don't know, Ed has already got a bit of acting on his CV. In 2015 he appeared as an "ambitious and deadly protege of a church elder" in mediaeval drama The Bastard Executioner.

If you're wondering why you've never heard of it, the drama only managed one season.
But, as the keen Sheerios we are, we shall not let that knock our confidence in Ed's acting expertise. If it's anything like his ability to create baby-making mushy love songs, we expect to see him picking up BAFTAs and Oscars in the future.
