Madonna didn’t hold back as she answered 50 questions from her fans about her next album, four decades of artistic career, guilty pleasures and biggest regrets.
In a new video, posted to her YouTube channel, the 64-year-old pop star had a surprisingly candid response when asked what decision she “remembers” and realizes “wasn’t the best idea.”
“Getting married. Both times!” the “Holiday” singer declared, alluding to her previous marriages to Sean Penn, 62, from 1985-1989, and Guy Ritchie, from 2000-2008.
During the interview she also revealed that her “current favorite obsession” is sex and that if she weren’t into music, she would be a teacher. When asked how she continues to find inspiration in a world that is so different from when she started, the artist said that if “you are a curious person and pay attention to life, you will never stop being inspired.”
The seven-time Grammy winner also said she’d love to collaborate with Kendrick Lamar before admitting that the “hardest” part of working on her upcoming biopic is cramming her “whole life into a feature film.”
She later credited sex for keeping her going and said she’d love to work with Britney Spears again, 19 years after she released her hit song, “Me Against The Music.”
The mother-of-six has previously admitted she was unable to “express herself” as an artist while married to British screenwriter Guy Ritchie.
“There were times when I felt imprisoned. I wasn’t really allowed to be myself. You have to find someone who accepts who you are and is comfortable with that,” she told The Sun newspaper in 2015.
For his part, the 53-year-old also a film director previously told “Details” magazine that their time together “is definitely not something” he regrets because he loves “the children that came up.” In 1991, Madonna called Penn the “love of her life” during a documentary, and the pair have maintained a friendly relationship over the years.
Madonna has six children, including Lourdes, 25, Rocco, 22, David, 16, Mercy, 16, and twins Estere and Stella, both ten. She is currently dating 23-year-old model Andrew Darnell, who is 41 years his junior.
