Ed Sheeran plays himself in Danny Boyle’s next film, his first significant role on the big screen. In the movie written by Richard Curtis, former “EastEnders” star Himesh Patel plays a singersongwriter who wakes up one day as the only person in the world who remembers the Beatles. The as-yet-untitled movie is set for release in September 2019. The 27-year-old British pop star says his long-term goal in Hollywood is to make a movie musical in the vein of the 2007 Irish romance “Once.”
