London: ‘Queen of Pop’ Madonna says she was attracted to her ex-husbands Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie because they are “creative” people.
The 53-year-old singer said that she was attracted to both Penn and Ritchie as they were interesting, talented and encouraged her to pursue her personal acting and directing dreams.
“I am and was attracted to very creative people which is why I married Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie, very talented directors, and they both encouraged me as a director to do what I did.
They were both very supportive,” said the Material Girl. The pop superstar, whose second directorial ‘WE’ was recently screened at the Venice Film Festival, says movies inspired her to become an artist when she was a child. “I’ve always loved films, all my life.
As a child I was always inspired by movies and I always had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to make one… Making films is really hard in the first place,” she said. ‘WE’ focuses on the relationship between Britain’s King Edward VIII’s and American divorcee Wallis Simpson and his decision to abdicate the British throne in 1936 to marry her.
