Adele slams reports Rebel Wilson is set to play her: ‘She needs my f****** permission’

Adele has slammed reports that Rebel Wilson is set to play her in a film biopic.

The British superstar addressed the rumours on stage at her O2 gig on Monday night, telling fans that the Australian comic need to get her “f****** permission’.

Addressing the crowd in between songs, the chart-topper suggested that the only reason Wilson was being touted to play her was because she was ‘plus size’.

“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,” she told the audience.

“She'd need my f****** permission. Just because I'm plus-sized doesn't mean she's playing me,” she added.

While Wilson is yet to confirm the rumours, she is reported to be ‘in talks’ to play the British singer.

A source told the Daily Star: “Rebel has always wanted to prove she can cut it as a serious actress.

“This is going to be a huge challenge for her because Adele is a legend at the peak of her popularity.”

They continued: “Rebel can't match Adele's vocal talents but she can certainly sing. And, with a little technical wizardry, she'll sound just like her in the movie.”
