British pop singer Adele had to rush out of the Oscars ceremony in 2013 to avoid a breast milk disaster.

The Someone Like You star was a new mother when she attended the glitzy Hollywood awards in Los Angeles after receiving a Best Song nod for her hit Bond track Skyfall.

Adele's turn at the Oscars was one of her first public appearances after giving birth to her son Angelo.

But the singer revealed she had to make several runs to the bathroom during the ceremony to avoid ruining her dress.

"(I was) running to the toilet, between awards, to pump-and-dump (breast milk). Which loads of people were doing, by the way," she told to Britain's Observer Music magazine.

The singer reveals she found herself surrounded by Hollywood stars who were all pumping breast milk or feeding their babies in the bathroom.

"All these Hollywood superstars, lined up and breastfeeding in the ladies," she said.

"No, I can't say who. Because I saw their t***."

Adele went on to win the Oscar for her track Skyfall, which landed her a clutch of other awards including a Grammy, Golden Globe and a BRIT.

She recently declared she is interested in launching an acting career after working with director Xavier Dolan on the music video for her latest single Hello.

"After doing my music video, I'm sure I'll get some flak for this, but I actually would like to act after working with Xavier Dolan who is truly, truly amazing and his films are incredible," she told British radio station KISS FM.

"I would be in a film for him definitely. I don't like it when those singers start acting, it makes them mediocre. But I don't quite know what I'd be cast as anyway."

Subsequent reports suggest Adele is in talks to make her film debut in Dolan's upcoming drama The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.

It is about an actor who comes under scrutiny when a gossip columnist reveals his correspondence with an 11-year-old fan.

If Adele joins the cast, she would be acting alongside stars including Kit Harington, Jessica Chastain, Susan Sarandon and Kathy Bates.
