Ed Sheeran may be one of the world’s biggest music stars, but even global icons have their oops moments—especially before coffee.
In a recent interview on the Call Her Daddy Podcast, Ed shared one of his most embarrassing and hilarious travel stories, and honestly, it’s the kind of thing you only see in sitcoms… or nightmares.
According to Ed, he was staying at a hotel and had fallen asleep completely in the buff. At some point during the night, he woke up groggy and headed toward what he thought was the bathroom. Instead, he accidentally opened the main hotel room door—and walked straight out. Naked.
With no room key and nothing to cover himself, Ed found himself stranded in the hallway. In a moment of quick thinking (and desperation), he grabbed a napkin off a nearby room service tray and made his way to the front desk, pleading with staff to let him back in—and to please, never tell anyone what happened.
To top it all off? Ed says his team made sure the security camera footage was wiped so the moment wouldn’t go viral. (We don’t blame him.) Ed said he learned his lesson and bought a pair of pajamas after the embarrassing moment.
