29 Aug
Summary
- Sean Penn told John Leguizamo that Madonna had a crush on him.
- Leguizamo appeared in Madonna's 1984 "Borderline" music video.
- Leguizamo later dined with Madonna alongside stars like Lenny Kravitz.
John Leguizamo recently shared a surprising anecdote about Madonna, revealing that Sean Penn once told him his then-wife had a crush on the actor. This disclosure occurred years after Leguizamo's initial involvement with the pop superstar.
Leguizamo's connection to Madonna dates back to 1984, when he was an extra in her music video for "Borderline." At the time, he hoped the role might lead to an opportunity, but he did not even meet Madonna during the filming and received minimal compensation.
Later, during the period when Penn was filming "Casualties of War," he informed Leguizamo about Madonna's alleged crush. Despite being romantically involved with others at the time, Leguizamo eventually developed a friendship with Madonna.
This friendship led to dinners at Madonna's homes in London and Manhattan. Notable guests at these gatherings included Lenny Kravitz. Leguizamo humorously stated he would readily appear in a Madonna music video if asked today.
Leguizamo currently stars in "The Odyssey" and has upcoming roles in "The Exorcist" and an untitled film from the Daniels. He is also set to voice Sid the Sloth in "Ice Age: Boiling Point" in February 2027.
