Who's The Girl In Ed Sheeran's New 'Perfect' Music Video?
The music video for Ed Sheeran's sugar-sweet love song "Perfect" has everything you could want: snowy scenery, moments of friendship, and... an intriguing love interest for the bashful Brit.
Playing the role of Sheeran's friend-turned-lover is actress Zoey Deutch, and chances are you've seen her around. After getting her start with a guest appearance on NCIS in 2011, the 23-year-old has come to snag her fair share of screen time over the years. Fans of Disney Channel's The Suite Life on Deck may recognize her from her role as Maya Bennett, the girlfriend of Dylan Sprouse's character, Zack. Others may recall her work in The CW's Ringer, in which she played the rebellious teen Juliet Martin, acting opposite the show's star Sarah Michelle Gellar.
However, while she may have begun her career in television, she's since moved on to star in a number of feature films, including Vampire Academy (2014) and Dirty Grandpa (2016). Afterwards, Deutch acted alongside big screen pros Bryan Cranston and James Franco in the film Why Him? Then, in 2017, she took on the leading role in the drama Before I Fall, which told the story of a teenage girl forced to relive her final day over and over again.
Deutch has also appeared on several magazines covers, modeling for the likes of InStyle, Marie Claire, and Vanity Fair.
Surprisingly, Sheeran's video for "Perfect" wasn't Deutch's first introduction to the set of a music video. In 2014, she appeared in The New Division's video for "Opium," which, while dissimilar in overall tone, also featured a wintery landscape and cabin setting like Sheeran's "Perfect." Given her history, this girl should be a pro at running in the snow by now.
