It seems Ed Sheeran isn’t as squeaky clean as we once thought, as he has revealed he once hit Justin Bieber in the face with a golf club, after a few drinks!
The singer, who was speaking ahead of his album release today, visited Japan with the Sorry singer, and after a day of gallivanting and drinking, the pair ended up on a golf course – engaging in some dangerous improvisation.
“We were in Japan. We’d been out to a dive bar. He just drank water and I got hammered.” he told The Guardian.
“Then we went to a golf course, and he lay on the floor and put a golf ball in his mouth and told me to hit it out of his mouth. I was like, ‘Fuck, I need to aim this properly, and I swung.
“And you know in films when someone gets punched, and you hear that fake sound, like a slap? But in real life when someone gets punched, you hear that dull thud, a bit sickening? I heard a sound like the last one, and saw his security guard looking at me like (pulls horrified expression).”
Upon realising what he had just done, Ed noted it as one of those “What the f**k?” moments.
“I’d cracked Justin Bieber right in the cheek with a golf club. That was, one of those ‘What the fuck?’ moments.”
This isn’t the first time Ed has gotten himself embroiled in a bit of trouble with a celebrity. Earlier this year, at a party in Royal Lodge in Windsor, Princess Beatrice accidentally cut his cheek with a sword, as she mock knighted James Blunt.
Here’s hoping the rest of 2017 is injury-free for Ed – and all of his celebrity pals!
