Midway through the Game of Thrones’ seventh season premiere, a certain Glastonbury headliner appeared on screen, to much controversy: Ed Sheeran.
The episode’s director, Jeremy Podeswa, defended the cameo, saying the singer did “a lovely job”, adding that “he’s a lovely actor and a lovely person.”
Ed Sheeran’s just Ed Sheeran.
Sheeran’s appearance may have been controversial, but for book readers, the scene took on another significance thanks to the song.
