Madonna thanks her ex-husbands for encouraging her movie career

Madonna thanked her ex-husbands for encouraging her to take up a career in movies, as she arrived in Venice on Thursday for the world premiere of her lavish royal drama “W.E.”

The 53-year-old American has been married to actor and director Sean Penn and British film maker Guy Ritchie, and has spent much of the last few years behind the camera rather than on the stage.

I am and was attracted to very creative people which is why I married Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie, two very talented directors. They both encouraged me as a director and as a creative person to do what I did, and they were both very supportive.
