Upset about Ed Sheeran on \u2018Game of Thrones?\u2019 The director says he \u2018deserved to be there.\u2019<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Upset about Ed Sheeran on \u2018Game of Thrones?\u2019 The director says he \u2018deserved to be there.\u2019:- Ed Sheeran\u2019s appearance in the \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d season premiere annoyed some viewers who found the singer\u2019s cameo distracting in a show that doesn\u2019t tend to have big guest appearances.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the episode\u2019s director, Jeremy Podeswa, sees no reason to be upset about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Podeswa told the Daily Beast this week that he was \u201ca bit surprised that people have made that much fuss about it \u2026 To me, he does seem quite organic, in his own way, to the show.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On Sunday\u2019s episode, Arya Stark comes across a group of soldiers singing a ditty and chowing down on roasted rabbit. Sheeran was one of them, and he exchanges a few words with Arya.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe truth is, everybody on the show is famous now,\u201d Podeswa told Daily Beast. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean anything to me. It\u2019s about, are they appropriate for the role? Are they doing a good job? And it was yes, yes, yes to all those questions with him so, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The show has had other musicians show up, but perhaps not as conspicuously as Sheeran. Coldplay drummer Will Champion, for instance, played in a band at the Red Wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n

[What was Ed Sheeran doing on \u2018Game of Thrones\u2019?]<\/span><\/p>\n

Maisie Williams, 20, plays Arya and is a huge Sheeran fan. So the HBO series\u2019 showrunners got Sheeran to show up as a surprise for the actress, who has basically grown up on set.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe was really happy to have him there, and they do have a lovely rapport,\u201d Podeswa told the Daily Beast. \u201cBut the great thing is he kind of deserved to be there, in a way, because he\u2019s a lovely performer. The role required gifts that he has. And he looks right in the show; he fits into the fabric of the show.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Podeswa added that Sheeran has been \u201cacting for a little while; he takes it very seriously.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The online backlash also prompted speculation as to whether Sheeran deleted his Twitter account over it. At some point after the \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d premiere, his account disappeared. He soon returned and his tweets before April 2015 have been removed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sheeran has previously alluded to the hate he gets online to explain why he only uses Twitter to cross-post his Instagram photos; Twitter is a place for \u201csaying mean things\u201d and he was trying to \u201cwork out why people dislike me so much,\u201d he told Britain\u2019s Sun tabloid.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the old tweets Sheeran deleted is one from 2013 congratulating Snow Patrol\u2019s Gary Lightbody for his own brief \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d cameo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite any backlash, Sheeran seems to be on an acting roll. He\u2019ll lend his speaking \u2014 and singing \u2014 voice to a musician character in an upcoming \u201cSimpsons\u201d episode.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis year continues to be surreal and amazing,\u201d Sheeran wrote on Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n
