Adele's 'Hello' director: 'I want to work with her on a film project'

Xavier Dolan, who directed Adele's new music video for 'Hello', has revealed that he wants to work with the singer on a movie in the future.

Speaking to BBC's Newsbeat, Dolan explained that the music video seems to have persuaded Adele to dip her toe in the acting pool:

"If she's in, I'm in. [But] will she want to commit to acting? 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. 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.

He added: "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. 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."
