One in every of Hollywood’s coolest figures takes pelters on the brand new Madonna album.
Set for launch tomorrow (July 3), the Queen of Pop’s fifteenth studio file is titled Confessions II, consists of sixteen tracks and encompasses a particular visitor look from Sabrina Carpenter.
By no means one to shrink back from her hotly-publicised historical past, deep throughout the sounds of standout observe ‘Weird’, Madonna (full title Madonna Ciccone) loosely references her four-year marriage to Sean Penn.
Penn, who’s a triple Oscar-winning actor, was Madonna’s first husband. They divorced in 1989 earlier than she walked down the aisle for a second time, with Snatch director Man Ritchie.
The music’s brutal lyrics go on to counsel that the 65-year-old was by no means snug along with his spouse’s seismic fame, and would usually show his insecurities on their pink carpet walks collectively.
Particularly, the singer namechecks the 1968 Shelby GT500 convertible she gifted him on the time of their wedding ceremony, plus Penn’s conviction for reckless driving in 1987.
‘Love is the strangest factor. Simply while you assume you have lastly let go, it comes again to you,’ the lyrics go.
‘Film star, deep blue eyes. In Hollywood, we’re an ideal prize. He drove approach too quick, Shelby Cobra wasn’t meant to final.’
A component of anger precedes these traces although, as Madonna sings: ‘Roll out the carpet for us, however you do not share it.
‘All ‘trigger you are threatened by me, you will not admit it. The little issues that you just do do not make me need you. Who knew love could possibly be so weird?’
Additional down the road on ‘Weird’, she displays: ‘I do know I left you behind and also you resent me. A thousand the explanation why you could possibly by no means have me.
‘The considered being with you is so indecent. I assume you will by no means know my soiled little secret.’
For the reason that couple’s divorce greater than three a long time in the past, Penn has clinched a record-equalling three golden statuettes in his business.
The primary of his two Finest Actor gongs was earned by portraying Jimmy Markum in Clint Eastwood’s thriller thriller Mystic River (2003), whereas his Harvey Milk biopic launched in 2008 doubled down on this awards status.
Lower to early 2026 and Penn’s eccentric masterstroke as Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw in One Battle After One other would convey him much more Oscars glory, this time within the Finest Supporting Actor class.
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, this hippie-infused comedy motion caper focussed on Leonardo DiCaprio’s ex-revolutionary Bob Ferguson, who should come out of hiding when his outdated nemesis, Lockjaw, re-enters the image.
No exaggeration right here: One Battle After One other could possibly be the best undertaking on each of their CVs.
