Ed Sheeran look-alike forced to go ‘in disguise’ to ‘escape crazy’ fans

One Manchester man is in love with the shape of his face.Ty Jones grew up believing he’d never accomplish his dreams of becoming an entertainer — until he realized his likeness to English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran.

Now, the Manchester, UK, native works as a full-time look-alike and aspiring actor, but looking so similar to the celebrity musician has also come with some drawbacks: namely, how obsessed Sheeran’s fan base is with him.

And, as a dead ringer for Sheeran, Jones often has to deal with the dogged fan base obsessing over him.“I’ve had crazy numbers of fans follow me in Hackney in London and in Los Angeles, to the point where the team I was working with have had to help me make a dramatic escape plan,” Jones told Jam Press.
