Dame Emma Thompson is, quite frankly, a national treasure, and that was no different in An Audience With Adele. Not only did she throw her entire body into dancing to every song, like a woman after our own hearts, but she also asked the most emotional question of the night.
"Under that beautiful dress, are you wearing any socks?" We're kidding! Though she did ask that question (and Adele lamented that her stockings had fallen down and were baggy in the crotch), the more heartwarming question of the night was easily: "When you were younger, was there anyone who inspired you, protected you from all the trials and tribulations of the world?"
Adele answered immediately that it was her English teacher, Ms McDonald, who really inspired her and changed her life. "She taught English, but she also taught street dancing," said Adele. "She was so bloody cool, engaging, and she really made us care and made us feel like she really cared. She was so likable and relatable, and actually made me like her." Next thing we knew, Ms McDonald was being ushered up on stage, causing the entire nation to burst into sobs.
