A rare chat from Ed Sheeran, like you’ve never heard him before!
From Just Jared:
Ed Sheeran sat down for a rare interview during an online summit on anxiety and well being with Hay House earlier this month.
During the interview, the 28-year-old musician opened up about his lifelong battle with addiction, whether that was with alcohol, food or other things.
“I have a very addictive personality. Very, very addictive personality,” Ed admitted at one point in the rare appearance. “I’m reading Elton John’s book at the moment and there are so many things that he did that I do.”
He continued, “He would be like, ‘I would just go on an ice cream binge and eat four f***ing desserts until I throw it up’, and I was like, ‘I’ve done that before’. Or his martini binges, where he sees how many he can drink. And I’m like, ‘I’ve done that before too’. He ends up getting really f***ing sad and depressed and all of these things can can add to that.”
Ed went on, revealing that he has learned to handle his addictive personality with moderation in everything.
“I think things like sugar, sweet stuff, junk food, cocaine, alcohol, it feels good the more you do, but it’s the worst thing for you, I think,” he says. “I think with addiction, it’s just very hard to moderate, but moderation is the key.”
“I’m covered in tattoos and I kind of don’t do things by halves so if I’m gonna drink, I see no point in having a glass of wine. I’d rather have two bottles,” Ed shared. “Having a glass of wine is having something in moderation and probably isn’t going to affect your day the next day. But two bottles of wine probably might make you quite sad.”
