Actor Ethan Hawke was so impressed by Adele’s performance at a concert that he revealed he even wanted to kiss her.
The Predestination star accompanied his daughter Maya to the live show and was blown away by both Adele’s skills and appearance.
But it wasn’t just her talent that made her stand out from other singers, as Hawke also appreciated Adele’s attitude towards her body.
The Grammy-winning artist faced inquiries about her physique in the past, with some discussions shifting from her music to her body.
However, Adele asserted that being skinny wasn’t a concern for her, saying in a 2012 60 Minutes interview: “I’ve never seen magazine covers and seen videos and been like, ‘I need to look like that if I want to be a success.
Never.”
Furthermore, she didn’t have time to worry about her own appearance, stating in an interview with Rolling Stone: “My life is full of drama and I don’t have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like.” Adele added that her music was not about showing off her physical attributes, but rather meant for the ears.
Hawke shared his concerns about his daughter looking up to celebrities with unhealthy expectations for their bodies.
To him, Adele gave Maya a healthier celebrity to look up to.
“We were both floored,” he said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph (via Express).
“Wow!
It was such a great experience.
It was a small club, and my daughter had never seen anything like that.
And as the father of a 14 year old, I want to kiss Adele.
Everybody else is starving to lose another 25 pounds, and it’s just terrible if all we see in that world is people we don’t recognize from our real world.”
Years later, Adele shifted her weight again and ended up with a slimmer figure due to exercise.
In an interview with Oprah (via ET), the “Skyfall” artist revealed that she began working out as a means to manage her anxiety.
When she made her recent comeback into the spotlight, she knew her weight loss would be a topic of discussion.
But once again, the newfound focus on her body was the least of her worries.
“It’s not my job to validate how people feel about their bodies.
I’m trying to sort my own life out,” she said.
