Greg WilliamsEd Sheeran was in Liverpool, England recently shooting a cameo in a new movie from Notting Hill director Richard Curtis, but apparently, he showed up on set a bit worse for wear.

According to the British tabloid The Sun, Ed had spent the day prior to the shoot having a bit too much fun at a whisky distillery and when he appeared on set, he was hung over.  A source told the paper, “Ed [showed up] with a seriously fuzzy head. Not a great start to his movie career…but he was a total pro as soon as the cameras started rolling.” 

“The film’s crew were all praising his acting talents and dubbed him a natural,” adds the source, who noted that Ed showed up with six security guys who were trying to make sure nobody could figure out exactly what the singer’s doing in the film.

The Sun reports that between takes, Ed played bingo with the movie’s star, Himesh Patel, and after the shoot, he and Curtis went to dinner.

It’s not clear exactly what Ed’s role is in the movie, but he’s believed to be playing himself.  The film, which was written by Curtis and directed by Slumdog Millionaire Oscar-winner Danny Boyle, is about a man who wakes up and finds he’s the only person who can remember The Beatles.

Ed’s tour continues Friday night in Newcastle, England.
