CELEBRITY FRIDAY: The Guy From Adele's New Video Is Tristan Wilds (Michael from The Wire)

Most of Twitter and the Internet is all agog about the release of the first single from Adele's forthcoming album 25 called "Hello." If you have seen the video (and it's been viewed more than 2 million times in under 10 hours just on YouTube's VEVO) then you might be wondering who the phyne brutha whose heart Adele's character breaks in the video is. His name is Tristan Wilds and even thoughI didn't recognize the name, I did recognize the author. He was the young guy named Michael on The Wire!

Wilds is now 26 and sometimes goes by the name Mack Wilds and has been on some television shows (like the 90210 reboot). He'll always be the young Michael from The Wire to me:

You can see what Michael looks like all grown up and in love in Adele's gorgeous new sepia video for her first new music in over 3 years:
