Sam Smith Reveals Craziest Rumor They’ve Heard About Themselves on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’: “Everyone Seems To Think That I’m Adele in Drag”

Is Sam Smith actually Adele? Is Adele actually Sam Smith? The Grammy Award-winning artist opened up about the craziest rumor they’ve heard about themselves while stopping by The Drew Barrymore Show.

The revelation came in a game of “Pop Quiz,” where Drew Barrymore and Smith popped balloons containing questions. The final question the actress read off asked the singer what the most bizarre rumor they’ve heard about themselves was — and, according to Smith, it’s that fans believe they are secretly Adele.

“Everyone seems to think that I’m Adele in drag. Because we’ve never been seen in the same room together,” Smith said. “And if you slow down her voice, it sounds maybe a bit like mine. So people think that we’re the same person and I’m just in drag right now.”

The theory started circulating in 2018 when a Twitter user compared the similarities in their singing voices after slowing down a record player. However, Smith seemingly debunked the rumor as just that — a rumor. Just because the artists are both from London and best known for their heartbreak ballads, it doesn’t mean they’re the same person, after all!

Earlier in the game, Smith also revealed that their first celebrity crush was Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic (ours, too). When Barrymore said she loves that the actor is “still clubbing,” Smith replied, “We love a naughty boy, don’t we sometimes?”

The duo also dished on what their Spice Girls names would be.

“Chubby. Yeah, Chubby Spice. It’s a cute thing. Or Juicy Spice. Cheesy Spice. Tuna Spice,” Smith joked, in reference to the tuna pizza they chowed down on with Barrymore prior to the commercial break.

As for the Never Been Kissed actress’ name, she said, “I’d be Naughty Spice.”
