Adele's fiancé Rich Paul 'wants to shield' her from THIS as she makes acting debut

Adele is reportedly making her big-screen debut but her fiancé, Rich Paul, is consumed by the fear over how her film will be judged by critics.

Radar Online reported that the 37-year-old English singer and songwriter is over the moon to be making her lifelong dream come true; however, her fiancé, Paul, is worried about the relentless scrutiny her film role could face.

An insider told the outlet that the 45-year-old sports agent, who has been together with Adele since 2021, is “very protective of Adele, and he can’t help but be worried” as she steps into Hollywood.

For those unaware, the Set the Fire to the Rain crooner will make her acting debut in Cry to Heaven, an adaptation of Anne Rice’s 1982 book, produced, directed, and written by Tom Ford. The upcoming film starring Nicholas Hoult, Colin Firth, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Despite Adele being close to achieving a milestone, Paul is worried for her because “she’s such a perfectionist, and he knows that she’s going to have very high standards for herself and no doubt she’ll be very hard on herself.”

“And there’s the critics, they can be so harsh, especially on actresses and then multiply that by a hundred for a pop star pivoting to acting. It’s not that he doesn’t believe in her talent, because he absolutely does and says he has no doubts she will be fantastic,” the source explained.

Paul “is also very aware of what a rollercoaster it all is. A great performance doesn’t always translate to great reviews. He’s a sports agent, but he has plenty of connections within Hollywood so he knows all the horror stories and he just wants to shield Adele from all of it,” concluded the insider.
