Singer Ed Sheeran insists he didn't quit Twitter because of the negative reaction to his "Game of Thrones" cameo and says it was just a coincidence. The 26-year-old Galway Girl hitmaker says he isn't worried about what other people think of his role.Ed Sheeran's appearance as a singing Lannister soldier in Game of Thrones season seven premiere episode was mocked, but director Jeremy Podeswa has nothing but praise for the English musician. Sheeran was mocked to a point that he decided to delete his Twitter account. The singer, however, came back on the microblogging site after a brief disappearance.
"Last I'll say on this. I came off Twitter Coz I was always intending to come off Twitter, had nothing to do with what people said about my game of thrones cameo, because I am in game of thrones, why the hell would I worry what people thought about that. It's clearly awesome. Timing was just a coincidence, but believe what you want (sic)," reads a post on his Instagram.
"It was lovely working with Ed. He is one of the nicest guys in the world. He's lovely, he's a team player, he wants to do a good job, he takes direction, he's very open. He's a big fan of the show and was really excited to be a part of it", GOT director added.
"I think his lovely voice was used to great effect and he just has a really nice presence. He blends into the world of the show in a nice way where if you didn't have all these associations with him and his musical career, nobody would even blink about his presence on the show," Podeswa said.
