After forming a friendship with footie star Ronaldo we take a look at Ed’s other famous pals

HE plays poker with ex-presidents, sings karaoke with the England captain — and records it all in starstruck photos.

The Sun told  how the striker, 40, had invited the singer round to his mansion after a gig in Sao Paolo in 2015.

The ace turned out to be such a fan he had even learned Ed’s dance moves from the Thinking Out Loud video. Thrilled Ed said: “He was so cool.”

But if this sounds like the Suffolk musician’s most random celebrity friendship, think again.
