Ed crashed on Jamie Foxx’s couch before he was famous
The list of Ed Sheeran’s famous friends is endless.
However it seems Hollywood actor and music producer Jamie Foxx may well be the Shape of Me’s oldest celeb pal.
“Ed Sheeran slept on my couch for six weeks before he was famous,” Foxx said whilst talking on The Graham Norton Show. “I was doing a radio show in LA and he knew that we do music so he came to my radio show.”
It was also Foxx that gave Ed his big break!
“He comes to my crib... he plays and I’m like, ‘You’re incredible,’” he revealed before offering the struggling artist a place to crash. “I said, ‘listen, I know you don’t have anywhere to go, just chill here.'”
During his time sofa surfing at the Golden Globe winner’s house, Ed recorded some of his debut album + (Plus) which led him to being signed by Atlantic Records.
Ed has since gone on to have international success, with his third album ÷ (Divide) breaking records around the world, and writing songs for huge artists like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.
