Ed Sheeran has recently opened up about his secret Letterboxd account during a candid conversation on the latest episode of Alexander Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast. The chart-topping artist, known for hits like Shape of You, shared that he has a hidden space on the popular movie review platform where he logs the films he watches.
In a lighthearted moment, the 34-year-old singer-songwriter explained, “No one knows I have a Letterboxd… I have no followers on it, literally, I just log the movies I watch.” He further emphasized that the account serves as a personal diary of sorts, stating, “No one reads it, it’s just for me to log it.”
While Sheeran admitted that his account is technically public, he added, “I guess they’ll find out now… I think it’s more fun for people to find it.” His playful admission marks the first time he’s revealed this secret to the public, inviting fans and movie enthusiasts to discover his hidden movie reviews.
In the same interview, Sheeran reflected on his career and personal journey, offering insight into his philosophy. “I was only good at music, and that became my career,” he said. “When I go into schools and talk to people, I tell them you only need one thing that you’re good at, and then that is you for life… that is your career.” For Sheeran, music has not only been a career path but a deeply personal passion. “And that is what I would love my legacy to be,” he added.
The musician also touched on the significance of music in shaping self-worth and confidence. “Music is a thing for kids that aren’t good at other things, that don’t have a lot of self-worth or self-confidence,” Sheeran shared. “Music gives you so much worth and confidence in yourself as a human being.”
He went on to critique the traditional educational system, pointing out how much emphasis is placed on excelling in certain subjects. “In school, there’s so much importance put on, ‘You must be good at this subject [to] actually be a good human being and to go out in the world and achieve,’” Sheeran said. Reflecting on his own experiences, he revealed, “I just wasn’t good at anything as a kid, and I didn’t have a lot of self-worth because of that – I felt like I was stupid.”
Ed Sheeran’s openness about his struggles and personal experiences highlights the powerful role that music has played in his life—offering him not just fame and success, but also a sense of self-confidence and purpose. Through his honest reflections, the Photograph singer continues to inspire both his fans and those who may be facing their own struggles with self-worth and identity.
