Watch Adele Impersonate Herself
All over the world, millions of music lovers are sobbing into their pillows while listening to Adele 's long-awaited new album, 25 . And while the Brit singer’s penchant for waterwork-inducing ballads is the stuff of legend, she also has quite the cheeky sense of humor. It doesn’t always get translated into her music, but it’s there — and BBC has a new, hilarious skit to prove it.
With the help of some bizarre-looking prosthetics, Adele transformed herself into 'Jenny,' a soft-spoken nanny who moonlights as an Adele impersonator. She sports a fake chin, fake nose, black gloves to cover her tattoos, and even changes up her walk. All in all, it’s a hella convincing disguise.
YouTube With the help of host Graham Norton, Jenny manages to fool an entire flock of black-clad Adele impersonators. She plays the bit flawlessly: pretending to have stage fright, sneering she’s takin’ her time when the backstage chat turns to 25 , and even purposely missing her cue onstage.
But then it’s time for the big reveal, and it’s completely hilarious and heartwarming.
