Director Guy Ritchie has worked on some great films — “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” “Snatch” and “Sherlock Holmes” among them — but he’s probably best-known for surviving his nearly decade-long marriage to known man-eater Madonna.
Since they split in 2008, Ritchie has been mostly mum about their union, but he recently opened up to Details magazine about it.
What do you know? There’s life and sex after Madonna.
Guy Ritchie, the British lensman who served as The Material Girl’s in-house penis supplier for eight years before being traded in for a barely-legal upgrade in 2008, is expecting a child with girlfriend of one year Jacqui Ainsley.
The former Mr. Madonna, film director Guy Ritchie, has launched a record label named after his London pub The Punchbowl. Punchbowl Recordings, a subsidiary of label giant Universal Music, has already made its first signing — the pub’s in-house Irish group, The Punchbowl Band.
Apparently, keeping it politically correct isn’t Guy Ritchie’s strong suit.
The director praised ex-wife Madonna in an interview with the November issue of Esquire Magazine. Guy says he still loves the pop icon — even if she is a little wacky.
“She’s a manifester, if there ever was one. First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any 23-year-old, she’ll outwork them, outdance them.”
“And, of course, here you go: I still love her,” Guy finally added after a little nudging from the interviewer. Aww shucks, how sweet. But Guy isn’t all lovey-dovey now that his romance with Madge is dead and gone. “But she’s retarded, too.”
