Singer, songwriter, actor, husband, father, Ed Sheeran wears many hats and now he can add a new title to his list of accomplishments: pub owner.

During a recent appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Sheeran revealed that he built a pub in his backyard at his home in England, naming it Lancaster Lock, a special nod to his mother and wife Cherry Seaborn's mom's maiden names, per People. Speaking to host Alex Cooper, the "Azizam" singer explained why he renovated an old barn on his property and modeled it after his favorite pub he went to when he was younger.

"You can never really let loose the way that you used to be able to, as in my teenage years, you know, you go to a pub to blow off steam," he said. "I think it sort of turned into, everyone always knew that I went to this place, and there was a dilapidated barn on my land. I was like, we could just turn it into a pub."

Sheeran went the extra mile to make the pub a perfect place to wind down, whether that's enjoying a pint, listening to music or catching a movie thanks to its extra features.

"So I bought an old pub off eBay, like the counter," he said. "There's a tunnel to it, and in the tunnel, I built a listening room, and there's a cinema, and that's kind of my, less of a man cave and more of a man catacombs."

Elsewhere in the interview, Sheeran explained why he "can't picture" himself ever headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but shared the one exception that could get him to perform at the big game.
