Ed Sheeran lookalike fools Indian fans, they call him ‘humble'; real one is rocking Oslo jamming with Sigrid

'Humble' Ed Sheeran, a lookalike of the singer, who gets great reviews for mingling with crowds who don't know he's not real, made an appearance at the Old Trafford Test match. Test Match Special and Barmy Army also registered his presence on their official accounts. The British singing sensation is a genuine fan of Test cricket and has attended matches at Old Trafford. But on Sunday, even as Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja went about resurrecting hopes of a draw on a pitch that has seen many centuries, the crowds managed to entertain themselves posing for selfies with the fake Sheeran. England Cricket, official ECB handle tweeted, 'Always pleasure to have @EdSheetan with us at cricket', as the figure with no tattoos (the biggest giveaway of unauthenticity), dressed in fuschia pink with glares, posed with mostly Indian ethnicity fans. Always a pleasure to have @EdSheeran with us at the cricket 😅 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 27, 2025 The Castle on the Hill, I don't care and Shape of You songmaker is a cricket fan but was performing right that moment with Norwegian star Sigrid in Oslo and his doppelganger did not have tattoos Most in the crowd knew that the redheaded TY Jones, a bonafide doppelganger, is not Ed Sheeran. But selfies don't sing, so even with his hair not messy and the individual not being the Shape of Him, fans happily amused themselves posing with the gallivanting lookalike who was Thinking Out Loud. A celebrity lookalike agency rents out artists, and Jones is one such. He even sported a accreditation. In April, the lookalike turned up at a nightclub but didn't know words to all Sheeran songs, and spent the evening avoiding the real Justin Bieber so as not to be caught. More recently an Arijit Singh lookalike created a parody video of his collaboration with Sheeran, as reported by Express. Sheeran earlier in the year had a Bhangra Collab on the Kapil Sharma show, and the Indian drum beats have reverberated, be it with Wonderwall or a Sheeran single. There was also a Fernando Alonso flukealike immersed in watching the match, who was not aware of his likeness with the F1 driver.
