Adele, the actress?

Published November 22, 2015

Now this is a surprise, and I don’t know whether it is a pleasant one or otherwise! The woman with great singing chops, Adele, has been offered to act in a film directed by Xavier Dolan.

The movie is titled The Death and Life of John F Donovan. Apparently, Adele is contemplating the offer and, till last reports came in, hasn’t nodded in the affirmative or negative. The singer’s latest song Hello is one of the biggest chart-busting hits in recent years. And if that’s anything to go by, she might say ‘hello’ to Xavier D.
