- Sam Smith said that Ed Sheeran gifted them a giant marble penis statue.
- Smith isn't the first to receive a giant phallus from Sheeran — he gave one to Elton John in 2021.
Ed Sheeran gave Sam Smith a giant penis statue that's so large it has to be crane lifted into their home.
During an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" Tuesday, Smith said they originally thought that the "wild" gift from Sheeran was a joke.
"It's a six foot two marble penis," Smith said, describing Sheeran's gift. "It's two tons, and I'm gonna have to get it craned into my house."
When Clarkson asked whether they were going to place the approximately 4,000-pound piece in the foyer of their home, Smith said that they actually wanted to turn it into a "fountain," something that they thought would potentially be difficult.
As Smith told Clarkson, they aren't the first person to receive such a piece of artwork from Sheeran. Sir Elton John was actually the first: John said on the British radio show "Carrie & Tommy" in August 2021 that Sheeran gave him a similar statue for his 74th birthday.
"I don't know if that's because I've always been a prick or not," John said. "What do you buy the man who has everything? A huge marble penis."
On Clarkson's show, Smith and Clarkson did their best to determine a name for the phallic statue, considering the names Phillip and Kevin, which Clarkson said was too reminiscent of the film "Home Alone." Eventually, they landed on "Duke of Hastings," as a nod to the "Bridgerton" series.
"It sounds grand and six-two, " Clarkson said.
