Ed Sheeran is talking about his perspectives on masculinity and gender.
During a new interview with the Dutch podcast Man Man Man, Ed revealed that he never felt “hugely masculine” as a kid and thought he might possibly be gay.
“I definitely have a big feminine side,” he shared. “I love musical theater, I love pop music, I love Britney Spears. My masculine side probably stops at drinking beer and watching football.”
Ed added, “When I was a kid, I thought I was gay for a bit.”
The “Bad Habits” singer revealed that he also prefers watching the women’s leagues in sports. “I watched it and I was like, ‘I don’t know why I watch male football; this is much better.’”
As for his vehicles, Ed said he doesn’t wish to be in the world’s fanciest car: “I am not a car guy. I like a nice car, but I’m not a car guy.”
He added, “But then, my wife is super pro-women and femininity. And so, as soon as we started dating, my life shifted to that.”
The "Shape of You" singer also said, “She plays in a female hockey team. We hang out with all the team. It’s very much women empowerment.”
