Which actor appears as Adele's love interest in the 'Hello' music video?

The story behind the answer

Tristan Wilds appears as Adele’s love interest in the music video for “Hello.” Wilds plays the former partner seen in the video’s flashbacks and emotionally charged scenes with Adele’s character.

The video was directed by Canadian actor and filmmaker Xavier Dolan. It follows a recently separated woman who makes a phone call to a younger version of herself, while memories of her past relationship unfold around her. Its sepia-toned style, rural setting and deliberately nostalgic imagery reinforce the song’s themes of regret, reconciliation and unresolved feelings.

Wilds was already known for acting roles and music released under the name Mack Wilds. During production, Dolan encouraged Adele and Wilds to draw on personal emotions and improvise some interactions so the relationship would feel intimate rather than staged.

“Hello” was released as a single in October 2015 and became Adele’s first major single from 25. The video was also notable for its use of IMAX cameras in portions of the filming. The other actors listed in the quiz are not the male co-star in this video.
