Singer Ed Sheeran and music producer Benny Blanco say they’re happy to represent “normal guys” in the music industry. Speaking on Blanco’s Friends Keep Secrets podcast, the pair joked that their success proves you don’t need to fit the traditional heart-throb stereotype to make it big. Co-host Lil Dicky described Sheeran as one of the most normal people he knew when they were younger, while Blanco added that artists like them can “give the normal guy hope.”
During the conversation, the pair compared themselves to conventionally attractive celebrities such as Jacob Elordi and Chris Brown, joking that some stars seem destined for fame because of their looks. They also humorously discussed where artists like Benson Boone might fall on the “hot or funny-looking” celebrity scale. The light-hearted chat highlighted the duo’s long-standing friendship and creative partnership, which has previously included collaborations on songs like Freaky Friday. You can catch both on these normal dudes on 104.8 Channel 4. Hit Music for the UAE.
