Adele is not one bit impressed about the idea of Rebel Wilson playing her in a movie.
To be honest we're not overly impressed with the idea of an Adele biopic in the first place. She's only 26! Surely she's got a lot more life ahead of her which movie producers could mine for gold? Then again she is at the height of he popularity right now and perhaps the producers feel that it is best to strike while the iron is hot.
Adele addressed the rumours on stage at a recent gig and she didn't pussyfoot around about the idea of a biopic about her.
"They need my f***ing permission."
And as for the idea of Wilson portraying her?
"I’ve heard there are rumours about Rebel Wilson will be playing me in a movie – let’s see if that turns out to be true. Just because I’m plus-sized doesn’t mean she’s playing me."
Ouch. She makes a fair point though, casting a role purely on body shape or resemblance is never the best call. Wilson has impressed in comedic roles but is said to be looking for the chance to prove herself as a dramatic actress. She proved in the Pitch Perfect movies that she can also carry a tune, however by the looks of it she might have a tough time convincing Adele she's right for the part.
