‘Very supportive’

London, Sept. 2 (PTI): Madonna says she was attracted to her ex-husbands Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie because they are “creative” people.

Madoona, 53, said both Penn and Ritchie 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 Madonna.

The superstar, whose second directorial WE was 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,” she said.

WE focuses on the relationship between King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
