David Spade claims he doesn't get starstruck, but the story of his first introduction to Adele proves otherwise.
After telling Ellen DeGeneres about his love life—spoiler alert: he just went through a breakup—the actor got on the topic of the first time he spoke to the Grammy winner.
"I saw [her] out in the real world. I don't get star struck that much and I was a little star struck. I was out having sushi and she comes traipsing in with her squad. And I could tell, she's so pretty no makeup just walking in. I was like, I think that's Adele. I go, I'm not gonna say anything because I'm not like that ya, know?"
After a few drinks, Spade was exactly like that.
"I go, 'She'll be mad if I don't say something,'" he continued describing. "She has a body guard and there's this little curtain room so I go, I don't want to just bust in so I do the procedure where I walk up and he's like "and you are?'...And I go, 'hey, can I go talk to Adele. I'm sort of a medium star.'"
Just wait—the situation got even more awkward.
"I go in. I don't say hello. I don't give the cornball [line], I go 'Wassup?' I gave her the American one," he described. "So I go, 'Hey Adele, I'm like really good looking in America. I don't know what it's like [but] I'm a huge deal over here,' and ya know blank looks. But then I talked to her and she was very sweet. She goes, 'I'm playing the Staples Center in August.' I go, 'Ooo that whole month is tough for me.'"
At this point, the drinks really started kicking in.
"She invites me and I don't even know what I'm saying because I'm a little loopy, buzzed, and of course I stay maybe a solid minute too long because I was yammering away blah, blah, blah," he joked about himself. "I said, 'Let's do this at my house next time. I have a huge back yard. What am I talking about, why am I saying this?' It was probably four minutes too long."
Just when we thought the worst was over, he said this.
"It was so dumb. I go, 'When I go to England, you owe me dinner!' She didn't buy me. I didn't buy her. I said, 'I'll buy everyone dinner.' And they all go 'Oh' and I go, 'I'm kidding. I'm not on a show right now.'"
