The music video for Ed Sheeran's sugar-sweet love song "Perfect" has everything you could
want in a winter love story: gorgeous scenery, cozy cabins, snowball fights, snow angels,
skiing montages, and… an intriguing match 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 daughter
of '80s icon Lea Thompson 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.
"Who would've ever thought that picking up trash would be this exhausting?"
While she began her career in television, she's since moved on to star in a number of
feature films, including Vampire Academy and Dirty Grandpa with fellow former Disney kid
Zac Efron.
Afterwards, Deutch acted alongside big screen pros Bryan Cranston and James Franco in the
comedy Why Him?
"I wanted to say, dad, that I love you."
"I love you, too, honey."
"I love you more."
"No you don't.
Love you to the moon and back!"
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.
Deutch's appearance in "Perfect" wasn't her first starring turn in a music video.
In 2014, she appeared in The New Division's video for "Opium," which also featured a wintery
landscape and cabin setting.
By now, this promising up-and-comer should be a pro at running in the snow.
