Rejoice, for Ed Sheeran's Game Of Thrones character was apparently maimed by dragons
Ed Sheeran moonlights as a Grammy-winning singer and Beyoncé collaborator, but we know him best as Game Of Thrones’ ginger-haired troubadour, a character so controversial that Sheeran deleted his Twitter account following the cameo. Though the masses longed to see his freckles speared by Needle, the singer’s scene was instead a gentle one designed to humanize the Lannister soldiers ahead of their battle against Dany’s dragons. Director Matt Shakman disappointed the world when he said Sheeran’s character was nowhere near said battle, but last night’s premiere calls that narrative into question.
As Jerome Flynn’s Bronn enjoyed one of King’s Landings’ numerous, ongoing orgies, two of his playmates chatted about a Lannister soldier named “Eddie” who not only was at the Loot Train Attack, but didn’t fare so well.
“That boy Eddie…” says one. “The ginger?” asks another. “That’s him,” she continues. “Came back with his face burned off. He’s got no eyelids now.” Her colleague replies, “How does he sleep with no eyelids?”
