Adele's music video director offers her a film role
- Published
Adele has been offered a film role by the director of the music video for her new single Hello.
"If she's in, I'm in. [But] will she want to commit to acting?" Xavier Dolan tells Newsbeat.
"I'd love to work with her in the future. It would be very interesting, inspiring and challenging to direct Adele in a cinematic environment."
26-year-old Xavier says he always thought Adele would be a good actor but she had doubts.
"The most exciting thing for me in all this was definitely to have Adele act, not in a music video way where she's singing or performing, [but] performing as an actor.
"It was also the most repellent part to her because she was saying how much she was an awful actor and she couldn't do complicated things and could only move objects," the Canadian film maker explains.
"We got on set, slowly she would watch all the takes and I think she saw herself and understood she was quite a credible actor."
"I think she's now saying it made her want to be an actress which is making me so proud because she was so reluctant to do anything close to acting in the first place."
It's not too difficult to imagine Adele accepting Xavier's offer as she's a big fan of his work.
He's mostly been involved with French-Canadian films about love and romance.
And he also voiced Ron Weasley in the French translation of the Harry Potter films.

"She approached me after having seen some of my movies," he explains.
"She's on a scale of fame and her career is so overwhelmingly wonderful. I'm just standing somewhere else. That she would reach out to me was baffling to me.
"I was really flattered and humbled but I couldn't believe it."
Did he treat Adele any different to other actors he's worked with?
"The transaction between the filmmaker and the actor was exactly the same than it is with all of the actors I've worked with so far," he remembers.
"I give notes and talk during takes and give indications.
"She was following those indications as we were rolling and was incorporating all of the notes as she was acting.
"She was really, really good."
