Ed Sheeran is really playing around with his new song, "A Little More" — and his lookalike friend is in on the fun.

This week, the "Perfect" crooner shared a clip of the track that featured both him and *Harry Potter* actor Rupert Grint lip-syncing in separate close-ups while wearing the same floral shirt.

Sheeran's team also delivered an official-sounding message with the clip: "We've been made aware that Ed's social media accounts have been accessed by an unknown party," it stated. "Unreleased music has been posted on his profiles. We have been working hard on securing the accounts, and from looking into this further, we have managed to obtain a distorted picture of the person of interest who appears to be wearing an orange hoodie. (Please see the next slide for reference)."**

The slide was, you guessed it, his famous fellow redhead Grint, who delivered his own message, "Hello, Ed, me again!!!"

"The photo looks like it was taken around 2011," continued the statement in Sheeran's Instagram Story, signed by EDHQ. "Relevant officials are now aware of the breach and our findings. However, we have made the decision to keep the song up because it's a total banger."

The announcement for the upbeat new single, which actually seems to be about a love gone sour, reunites Sheeran and Grint. Their previous nods to one another include the video for Sheeran's 2011 song "Lego House," in which Grint subbed for the U.K. crooner, mouthing the lyrics in the less humorous, more poignant song. There was also that time that Grint did a dramatic reading of Sheeran's hit song "Shape of You," and when Grint pretended to be the singer on MTV. To be fair, Sheeran once dressed up as Grint's signature *HP* character, Ron Weasley, for Halloween.

But do that many people really think the stars look alike? According to Grint, absolutely. In 2017, the actor confirmed that people regularly mistake him for Sheeran. "It is kind of 50/50 now," Grint said on *The Late Late Show With James Corden*. "Someone stops me, it could go either way."

Sheeran's new album, *Play*, is out Sept. 12.
