Ed Sheeran lookalike fools Indian fans, they call him humble, real one is rocking Oslo jamming with Sigrid

“Be humble.” At the Old Trafford Test match, Ed Sheeran, a doppelganger of the artist who receives wonderful praise for mixing with audiences unaware that he is not real, made an appearance. He was also listed on the official accounts of Barmy Army and Test Match Special.

The British singing phenomenon has been to Old Trafford to watch matches and is a true Test cricket fan. On Sunday, however, the fans amused themselves by taking photos with the phony Sheeran, even as Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja worked to revive hopes of a draw on a field that has seen many centuries.

“It’s always a pleasure to have @EdSheetan with us at cricket,” tweeted England Cricket’s official ECB handle. The figure, who wore a fuschia pink outfit with glares and had no tattoos—the strongest clue that someone is not authentic—posed with a majority of Indian ethnic supporters.

The Castle on the Hill, I don’t care and Shape of You songmaker is a cricket fan but was performing right that moment with Norwegian star Sigrid in Oslo and his doppelganger did not have tattoos

The majority of the audience was aware that Ed Sheeran is not the redheaded TY Jones, a true doppelgänger. But selfies don’t sing, so even with his hair not messy and the individual not being the Shape of Him, fans happily amused themselves posing with the gallivanting lookalike who was Thinking Out Loud.

Jones is one of the musicians rented out by a celebrity doppelganger service. He even wore a certificate. In April, the lookalike turned up at a nightclub but didn’t know words to all Sheeran songs, and spent the evening avoiding the real Justin Bieber so as not to be caught. More recently an Arijit Singh lookalike created a parody video of his collaboration with Sheeran, as reported by Express.

Sheeran earlier in the year had a Bhangra Collab on the Kapil Sharma show, and the Indian drum beats have reverberated, be it with Wonderwall or a Sheeran single.

Indian drum sounds have been heard in Wonderwall and Sheeran’s songs since Sheeran’s Bhangra Collab on the Kapil Sharma program earlier this year.

Additionally, there was a Fernando Alonso flukealike who was engrossed in the game and unaware of his resemblance to the Formula One driver.
