Adele To Make Her Acting Debut In New Star-Studded Movie

Adele at the Brit Awards in 2022Adele is set to join the star-studded cast of Tom Ford’s new film in what will mark her acting debut.The chart-topping star has long expressed her interest in pursuing an acting career, and teased last year that she would be taking a step back from the music scene after completing her string of live shows in support of her album 30.On Wednesday, Deadline reported that Adele would be appearing in the cast of Tom Ford’s next film, which would be an adaptation of Anne Rice’s 1982 novel Cry To Heaven.But the Someone Like You singer is far from the only famous face linked with the movie.Deadline’s article named Adele’s co-stars in the projects as Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Paul Bettany, Daryl McCormack and Colin Firth, who previously appeared in Tom Ford’s adaptation of A Single Man.Also linked with the project are Ciarán Hinds, George MacKay, Thandiwe Newton, Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer and Owen Cooper, the British teen actor who recently won an Emmy for his stand-out performance in Netflix’s Adolescence.Owen has since appeared in the BBC comedy Film Club, and will next make his big-screen debut in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights in early 2026.Owen CooperTom Ford’s team has since confirmed to HuffPost UK that Deadline’s story is accurate. Adele said a decade ago that she’d be interested in trying out acting after her performance in her Hello music video, directed by filmmaker Xavier Dolan, and was previously linked with a role in a potential remake of the musical Oliver.When The Hollywood Reporter asked in 2023 if she’d “ever considered acting”, she responded: “No. There is one movie I want to do, but the guy whose movie it would be, he’s not mentally ready to write the script for it.”“I’m not giving you no clues, though,” she insisted. “But I bug him every now and then about it, but he’s just not there yet. But that’s the only role I ever want. Because I think I’d nail it. I think I’d do really, really, really good at it.”Last year, the Daily Mail also quoted a “source” who claimed that Adele had been taking acting lessons with the hopes of taking her career in a different direction.MORE FILM NEWS:Florence Pugh Names The Film Of Hers She 'Wishes She'd Never Done'Ariana Grande Shares Hidden Meaning Behind Her Wicked For Good Premiere LookThe New Toy Story 5 Teaser Introduces A Very Different Type Of Disney Villain
