Game of Thrones Director Defending Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles 4 Nipples & Ryan Reynolds Facetimes with Terminally Ill Boy

The director of HBO’s Game of Thrones, Jeremy Podeswa is defending Ed Sheeran’s much ridiculed appearance on Sunday’s season seven premiere of Game of Thrones.

Podeswa tells Newsweek.:
“I think Ed did a lovely job—he’s a lovely actor and a lovely person. He was appropriate for the part because he needed to sing.If people didn’t know who Ed was, they wouldn’t have thought about it twice. The hoo-ha seems to be from things that are outside of the world of the show. In the world of the show, he did a lovely job, and he looks like he belongs in that world. I was quite surprised about the reaction actually because I know he’s very well-known and a successful singer, but you’re in the bubble of the show. The cast are well known too, everybody is really well-known. None of them can walk down the street without being followed.”

Daniel Downing, an 11-year-old British boy with terminal cancer, recently got his wish to have a conversation with Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. Video from the sweet incident shows the boy receiving a call from the actor and then wisely asking to switch to Facetime so he can show the star his Deadpool t-shirt.

“That’s awesome, what an awesome t-shirt!” Reynolds says once they can see other on their respective screens. “You know, I’m the only guy who doesn’t have one of those T-shirts. I need to get one of those.” Reynolds goes on to give Downing a tour of Deadpool 2 set in a call that lasted about 15 minutes. “Daniel picked up the phone and Ryan asked if he knew who he was,” the boy’s mother Stephanie Daniel tells The Plymouth Herald. “As soon as Daniel realized, he asked if he could FaceTime him and then he was very, very hyper.”

Harry Styles has confirmed that he does indeed have four nipples in a new interview with Chelsea Handler.
