A British man named Ty Jones is such a dead ringer lookalike for ED SHEERAN that he has to use disguises to hide from crazy fans.

His experience with Ed groupies have ranged from “fans crying and shaking” to a “cyclist who couldn’t stop looking and crashed their bike while still making eye contact.”

To avoid the mistaken fans, Ty wears the classic celebrity disguise: a hat, sunglasses, and a face mask.  Don’t feel bad for him though . . . he said he gets sent free stuff and is let into clubs and restaurants as a VIP.

Ty has met Ed before back in 2011, and they’re supposed to meet again soon over Zoom.

Ty said, “I aspire to master his songs and become a tribute act . . . and also keep trying my hand at acting or different roles in the future.”

They really do look like twins separated at birth, and you can see it at NYPost.com.
