1. He understands the uncanny resemblance he and Rupert Grint share and makes funny of it as much as he can.

2. After a cab driver told Ed that he wouldn’t let his daughter listen to any of his songs because he swore too much, Ed removed all swear words from his album Multiply.

3. He isn’t afraid to step outside his genre. For example, he’s been featured on tracks by Hoodie Allen, Rudimental, and Lupe Fiasco.

4. He wrote the song “Wake Me Up.” (If you haven’t listened to it, you need to. Right now.)

5. He tackles some of the most taboo subjects (prostitution, drug addiction, miscarriages, etc).

6. He sent fans across the world into a frenzy when he simply tweeted a blue square after a year of silence.

7. For his first album, he wrote every single song and recorded all instrumental tracks by himself (he still writes all his own content, but he's added in more instrumentalists as the years have gone on).

8. His tattoo sleeve is prettier than me.

9. He loves cats more than people.

10. Simply put, he’s just himself.
