Honorary Irishman Ed Sheeran showed his love for Ireland once again by donning a green and white GAAGO jersey in the new Bridget Jones's Baby movie.

Our Ed makes a cameo appearance in the latest instalment of the hugely popular rom com in concert scenes reportedly shot at his sold-out Croke Park gigs in July 2015, which doubled as Glastonbury for the movie.

At the time, Sheeran posted a photo on Instagram showing him with the film's star, Renee Zellweger, with the caption: "Spent the day being an actor in the new Bridget Jones movie. Loved it, you’re gonna love it too."

The singer-songwriter first delighted Irish fans when he sported the GAAGO jersey during his Croke Park gigs, and now he is once again flying the flag for GAA fans over the world in the new Bridget Jones movie.


"It was a huge surprise when I saw Ed wearing his GAAGO jersey during Bridget Jones's Baby", Dónal Moriarty, Product Leader GAAGO said. "I did not expect that when I sat in my cinema seat. It looked fantastic up on the big screen!

"The film is great, and it's brilliant that GAAGO will get some exposure in what is sure to be a worldwide box office winner."

GAAGO is RTÉ and the GAA’s international online streaming service for Gaelic Games and is used by fans in more than 180 countries. Watch the clip below to see Sheeran doing his thing!
