Chris Hemsworth on Ed Sheeran for TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2025 issue

I’m fortunate enough to meet some of the most talented people in the world. But every now and then, I come across a person who isn’t just talented—they’re something else entirely.

Ed Sheeran has an almost supernatural ability to connect. His songs, his voice, his words—they belong to all of us. Whether you’re at home with your headphones on, driving through the countryside, or in a stadium packed with 70,000 people singing at the top of their lungs, his music feels personal. He has an instinct for storytelling that makes you feel like he wrote that song just for you, no matter where you’re from or what you’ve been through.

But beyond the music, beyond the palpable anticipation for his upcoming album and the stadiums full of people hanging on to every note, is the man himself. Ed is one of the most kindhearted, down-to-earth people I’ve ever met. He’s got this incredible ability to make you feel like you’ve been mates forever, even if you just met five minutes ago. There’s no ego, no pretension—just warmth, laughter, and a wicked sense of humor. He can go from writing a beautiful song to cracking a joke so ridiculous you forget what you were talking about in the first place. Ed brings people together in a way that few can. He writes the songs that become the soundtrack to our lives. He makes strangers feel like family. He doesn’t just perform for an audience—he creates a world where everyone is welcome.

I mean hes really good for what he does ill give him that. Yes she doesnt do a bunch of dancing and major production but theres artists that their vibe and style isnt what its about it

 

Im not a big enough Sheran fan to go to his concerts but if I did, if find it odd if he tried to pull an Usher on stage

I am never a hater on Ed. I actually like his music a lot and think he gets too much hate. But I have zero idea what he’s done in 2025 to deserve this

He has launched the Ed Sheeran Foundation to support music education - upon its launch, the foundation has already supported 18 grassroots music education organisations and state school music departments across the UK. This support will directly impact 12,000 children and young people by improving access to instruments, creating performance opportunities, and opening pathways into the music industry.

He also brought together artists to call UK PM to provide long-term funding for music education

This is amazing. Once again, Ed is a good human being and doesn’t deserve so much hate. Thanks for sharing

Generally, I’m not a fan of his music. But I have to say, he’s looking sexy in these pictures.
