What's better than Ed Sheeran singing "Shape of You?" Rupert Grint not-singing it, depending on who you ask. The two red-headed Brits who have literally no other similarity have delighted in how often they get confused, to the point where we now have a video of Grint dramatically reading Sheeran's latest lyrics.

The video originally debuted on Yahoo and was picked up by BuzzFeed, who noted that Grint also starred in Sheeran's "Lego House" video. Grint is now part of a storied history of actors (especially English ones) dramatically reading popular songs, and the result is both satisfying and confusing (yes, I mean sexually).
