Predictably, the stunt did not work out as hoped.
“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,” Sheeran said.
The “Shape of You” singer explained that Bieber’s security guard was shocked (probably as much as Sheeran himself was).
“I’d cracked Justin Bieber right in the cheek with a golf club,” he said. “That was one of those ‘What the f—?’ moments.”
While the inebriated moment is something he laughs about now, Sheeran is doing a lot less drinking these days — of beer, at least.
Recently, the singer admitted that he needed to make a diet change after putting on some unwanted weight due to his year-long hiatus from performing. He cut out beer and it worked wonders.
“I’ve lost like 50 lbs.,” he said during an interview with The Breakfast Club radio show. “That was it, it was the beer.”
