LOS ANGELES: Grammy-winner Ed Sheeran is working towards getting a six-pack for the first time.
The singer-songwriter announced his goal while speaking to Andy Cohen for Sirius XM’s Small Stage Series.
Sheeran said: “I’d put on a load of weight last year, and I was like, ‘I’m gonna hit the gym heavy, try and lose a stone’. As I was doing that, I was like, ‘I’m gonna see how far I can take this’.”
He continued: “I’ve never actually ever had a six pack in my life, and I was like, ‘I’m gonna see if I can do it’.”
The “Perfect” hitmaker said sticking to his target has been a challenge, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
He said: “I keep messing up, ’cause I keep being out somewhere being like, ‘I’ll have a couple of beers’, and it just, you know. But I’d say it’s going all right. I feel like I’m in the best shape of my life.”
Sheeran, who shares two daughters Lyra and Jupiter with wife Cherry Seaborn, first spoke about his fitness transformation in 2019
Appearing on the Behind the Metal podcast, he said: “I stopped smoking three years ago, and ever since then started exercising. I love it. I started doing it because when I stopped smoking, I was very aware that my lungs were so full of that I needed to clear them out.”
