It pays to be Ed Sheeran… however to not simply appear to be him.
Ty Jones is simply making an attempt to make content material like many different 20-somethings, however TikTok is throwing a wrench in his plan! If he hasn’t come throughout your For You Page earlier than, just about all you could know is that he strikes an uncanny resemblance to the Shape of You singer.

@life.of.ty When your spouse clearly has a kind. it’s clearly Ed Sheeran and a very good job I’m not offended ???? #spouse #spouse #edsheeran
Lookalike a lot??
However, there’s one key distinction between the 2 that Ty all the time tells his 100k+ followers so that they don’t confuse the 2: whereas he CAN play the guitar, he’s undoubtedly not a singer. But that didn’t save him from the video sharing app’s “community guidelines.”
@life.of.ty This is my try at making Ed Sheeran Bad Habits with a loop station and guitar #edsheeran #badhabits #loopstation #guitar
In an interview with The US Sun Thursday, the Manchester native shared that his account was banned final weekend as a result of TikTok believed he was making an attempt to impersonate the red-headed rocker. He informed the outlet:
“It’s fairly apparent I’m a lookalike. I really can’t sing. People all the time touch upon my movies, saying, ‘Oh my God, it’s Ed Sheeran.’ I’m all the time repeating myself saying, ‘I’m not Ed.’
The 28-year-old continued:
“Sometimes I have it in bold writing. I feel like it’s discrimination because I can’t change the way I look. Just because I look like Ed Sheeran, does that mean I can’t make TikToks?”
When he places it like that, yeah, we will see how that’s kinda tousled.

The father of 1 appealed his ban, telling the outlet he counts on his movies to make a residing. He shared:
“I make videos of me living my life as an Ed lookalike. It’s my full-time job. I was keen to promote what I do and market my business.”
We assume it’s fairly clear that Ty isn’t claiming to be the Thinking Out Loud singer. He’s made it identified time and time once more that he’s merely a lookalike, and like he stated, he can’t change the best way he appears to be like. It’d be one factor if he acquired a bunch of cosmetic surgery to particularly appear to be Ed, however that is only a case of his genes doing their factor! Hilariously — and justifiably — Ty identified:
“Maybe TikTok should ban Ed for impersonating me as well given that we look the same.”
Hmmm, he’s acquired some extent there. The two critically appear to be twins separated at start! However, 32-year-old Ed is 4 years Ty’s elder.
@life.of.ty I assumed I’d give this impact a go and low and behold it turned out to be Ed Sheeran who I appear to be ????#impact #edsheeran #lookalike
He shared that the social media large informed him upon reviewing his enchantment:
“It was determined that your account has violated our Community Guidelines and cannot be restored.”
However, after The US Sun acquired in contact with them, they have been fast to vary their minds and reinstate his account.
Happy ending!
Do YOU assume it was ridiculous for TikTok to ban him within the first place, Perezcious readers? Or was it legitimate? Share your ideas within the feedback down beneath!
