The Harry Potter actor, Rupert Grint, has reunited with the Grammy-winning singer, Ed Sheeran, after more than a decade, sparking excitement among fans. Their unexpected on-screen pairing has taken a surreal turn in Sheeran’s latest music video.
Here’s what really happens in “A Little More” and why Grint ends up dancing with Sheeran in a wedding dress.
Rupert Grint and Ed Sheeran reunite for new music video
Rupert Grint appears in Ed Sheeran’s new music video “A Little More,” released ahead of Sheeran’s upcoming album Play, due out on 12 September 2025. The video, directed by Emil Nava, acts as a sequel to Sheeran’s 2011 “Lego House” clip, which also featured Grint as an obsessed fan.
In the new video, Grint’s character leaves prison after 14 years and tries to rebuild his life. He attends therapy, joins a “Stalkers Anonymous” group, and begins working as a mansion cleaner. He meets a woman, portrayed by Nathalie Emmanuel, and eventually proposes to her.
Throughout the video, Grint sees hallucinations of Sheeran, who shows up in various roles, including a prison guard, therapist, maid, and wedding guest. On the wedding day, every attendee turns out to be Sheeran, and when Grint lifts the bride’s veil, he sees Sheeran’s face. The final scene shows the two dancing under a disco ball, with Sheeran wearing a wedding gown.
Ed Sheeran shared behind-the-scenes context on Instagram, writing, “I hadn’t worked with @rupertgrint in 14 years since Lego House, so didn’t know if he’d say yes to this idea. But I’m so glad he did.” He added, “Longest video shoot I had ever done at that time, and deffo the most costume changes.”
The track was co-written by Sheeran, Dave, Johnny McDaid, Blake Slatkin, and Cirkut. Its lyrics reflect on past resentment, including the lines, “life got better when I lost you / but every day I hate you just a little more.” Grint’s last film role was in 2023’s Knock at the Cabin, while his TV role in Servant concluded the same year after four seasons.
“A Little More” follows Sheeran’s previous singles “Sapphire,” “Azizam,” and “Old Phone.”
