	The singer-songwriter recently passed her driving test, praising instructor Noel Gaughan on his personal website, reported Digital Spy.
	"I didn't know who Adele was so she started singing in her lessons. The problem was I didn't know any of her songs," Gaughan said.
	Gaughan has taught several celebrity pupils, including the likes of Niall Horan, James McAvoy, Gemma Arterton, Mika, Rhys Ifans and Ted Dwane of Mumford & Sons.
	However, he said that he does not always know his star clients.
	"She would sing some beautiful songs and say, 'You must know this one', but I don't really know many celebrities. Driving will give her a bit of freedom and she is looking forward to be able to go off with just her and Angelo. She worked very hard with me and learned very quickly," he added.

Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks, whose wide array of roles make him one of the most versatile stars working today, says a comic-book role is the one gig he can't seem to land.
	During an interview, Hanks, 57, was asked why he'd never starred in a big superhero movie, to which he replied, "They don't ask me, man. I keep trying. Come on, I can do it. I can do it. Even let me play a bad guy, let me play the bad guy against Batman. I'll do anything, call me. They've never asked. What do I gotta do? God, I want to throw a shield at somebody. I want that.
	"And I don't want to play the guy in the suit who tells the superheroes what's going on, I don't want to be that guy. 'Well, you know Batman, Captain America, Iron Man, here's what we've discovered', I don't want to be that guy. I want to get in there, I want to play The Flash or something like that. They'll never give me a chance."
	Hanks will next be seen in 'Captain Phillips', according to The Huffington Post.
