'Thinking Out Loud' video introduces Ed Sheeran, dancer

Who knew Ed Sheeran could dance?

The British singer-songwriter unleashes his inner Fred Astaire in his video for Thinking Out Loud.

Sheeran calls Thinking Out Loud one of his favorite songs from his most recent album, x. So, he says, "I wanted the video to be a little different, so I opted for ballroom dancing. I had lessons for five hours a day when I was on my U.S. tour."

The Thinking Out Loud video, shot in Los Angeles, was directed by Emil Nava, who also directed the MTV VMA-winning video for Sheeran's Sing.
