In a light-hearted twist that has social media buzzing, English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has seemingly taken a playful jab at fitness influencer Ashton Hall's extreme morning regimen.
Sheeran shared a cheeky video of his morning routine on Monday, igniting reactions from netizens who couldn't help but marvel at the comedic brilliance of his tongue-in-cheek parody.
Ashton Hall, known for his extreme fitness lifestyle, has gained significant traction with his early wake-up call at 3:50 am.
His video showcases an elaborate morning routine that spans a whopping five and a half hours, filled with bizarre rituals including multiple dippings of his face in ice water, rubdowns with banana peels, and a vigorous mix of physical exercise, meditation, and swimming.
His quirky antics have captivated audiences, but the scrutiny didn’t go unnoticed by Sheeran.
In his TikTok response, Sheeran begins his day at a more leisurely 6:40 am, promptly showcasing an unexpected twist - a guitar nestled next to him in bed.
With a playful nod to Hall’s morning splash, he plunges into a bowl of ice-cold Saratoga Spring Water, mimicking the influencer's unconventional facial refresh.
The singer's routine progresses into a series of playful exercises and even a massage, culminating in a shower scene where he opts for clementine peels instead of Hall's banana and playfully brushes his teeth with hot sauce.
His regimen ends with him getting dressed, eating breakfast, creating a list of "side quests" and listening to his new single - all by 8.11am.
Netizens were quick to react, enjoying Sheeran's comedic spin while also expressing shock over the sheer number of tattoos on his torso, showcased prominently in the shirtless clips.
One user commented, “I did not realise you had that many tattoos,” while another noted, “Ed Sheeran has been hot and funny. Y'all just didn’t care.”
The fan engagement peaked with one notable revelation: Sheeran's tattoo of the Ghana flag, prompting a cheeky response from the artist: “Big up Ghanaian jollof.”
Beyond the laughter, an interview in October 2024 with GQ revealed more about Sheeran’s tattoos, each telling a story, including a tribute to his close friend Taylor Swift's album “Red” and the footprints of his children, Lyra and Jupiter.
Apart from indulging in TikTok parodies, Sheeran is keeping busy in the studio and recently announced the completion of his eighth studio album.
On Wednesday, March 19, he shared an exuberant video on Instagram, revealing his excitement while recording his new song “Azizam”, dancing with joy alongside producer Ilya Salmanzadeh.
“And if love’s just a game, come and play,” he sings, energising his fan base with infectious vibes as he prepares to unveil what promises to be another musical masterpiece.
