Adele Has Turned Down Endorsement Deals from Nail Varnish to Exercise Equipment

The "Rolling In the Deep" singer explained that as one grows increasingly famous, money seems to be all that's thrown at a person. "What have I said no to? Everything you can imagine," she explained to The Guardian. "Literally every-f*cking-thing. Books, clothes, food ranges, drink ranges, fitness ranges... That's probably the funniest."

"They wanted me to be the face of a car. Toys. Apps. Candles. It's, like, I don't want to endorse a line of nail varnishes, but thanks for asking. A million pounds to sing at your birthday party? I'd rather do it for free if I'm doing it, cheers," she continued.

Adele also discussed how fame altered her personal life since it's extremely easy to give in to fame and fortune and the charm surrounding it. "It's powerful. It draws you in. Really, it's harder work resisting it. But after a while I just refused to accept a life that was not real. Like becoming OK with having things done for you. Or - no - expecting things to be done for you," she said.

One moment in particular gave the British singer a harsh reality check, as she once ran out of clean clothes and became annoyed about it. Once she lost the drive to wash her own clothing, she knew her expectations had to chance. That phase of her life came "around the time of 21, when I was on top of the mountain... so I told myself I'd better abseil down. And go and do my f*cking laundry."

Adele's new album 25 will be released on Nov. 20.
