Ed Sheeran wants to buy George Clooney's Batman costume

Ed Sheeran loves to collect movie memorabilia

Ed Sheeran is planning to splash out thousands to snap up George Clooney’s original Batman costume.

The 34-year-old singer treats himself to a piece of movie memorabilia every birthday and after previously buying Alicia Silverstone's Batgirl outfit from 1997's 'Batman and Robin', he's hoping to land her co-star's costume from his only outing as the Caped Crusader.

Ed said on Alex Cooper's 'Call her Daddy' podcast: "I'm trying to get the George Clooney Batman costume ...

"I bought the Alicia Silverstone Batwoman [outfit], so it would be matching.(sic)"

The 'Azizam' hitmaker - who celebrated his birthday in February - previously splurged a huge amount on a 'Star Wars' replica.

He said: "I bought C-3PO. That was not cheap. I do it every birthday. I just buy one prop a year.

"It's the thing I look forward to. I think all year, 'What am I going to get?'"

Ed's lavish estate features a lake, a chapel, and a pub, and a tunnel connecting his private boozer to his main home is where his movie memorabilia is housed.

He said: "In the tunnel, I built a listening room, and there's a cinema - it's less of a man cave and more of a man catacomb ...

"I collect movie props, too, so I've got all of that there.

"I'm a huge 'Hook' fan, so I bought Robin Williams' Pan costume and Julia Roberts' Tinker Bell costume."

Ed has daughters Lyra, four, and Jupiter, two, with wife Cherry and admitted parenthood prompted him to "dramatically" change his life.

He said: "Just not being a f****** maniac with drink and drugs or smoking.

"I exercise now, and I never exercised before.

"I get up in the morning, whereas I used to sleep until, like 4pm.

"It really has changed dramatically.

"I'm home more, and my work schedule is based around them, and not around me."

Ed hailed Cherry "the biggest grounding force" in his life because she refuses to let him become "too Hollywood".

He explained: "Any time that anything is a little bit too Hollywood, she's like, 'Bro, come on ...'

"I tried to build a bowling alley in our backyard, and she was like, 'Come on man, you don't need that.'

"She doesn't want our kids growing up and it being like the 'Richie Rich' [movie] house with its own McDonald's."
