Almodóvar spills major tea on ‘Truth Or Dare’ scene with Madonna: “She treated us like simpletons”

Almodóvar spills major tea on ‘Truth Or Dare’ scene with Madonna: “She treated us like simpletons”

Iconic Spanish film director Pedro Almodóvar has been spending his time in quarantine reflecting on his life and career in a series of essays, one of which was recently published by Indiewire.

In it, the Academy Award-winning filmmaker spills some major tea about Madonna and that time he and Antonio Banderas were tricked into appearing in her 1991 documentary Truth or Dare.

“I went out with her the days she spent in Madrid,” he recalls. “I organized a big flamenco party for her… She had made it very clear to me that, aside from myself, she was only interested in meeting one other guest, Antonio Banderas.”

Almodóvar promised Madonna that Banderas would be in attendance, “I promised her that Antonio would be there, but I didn’t tell her that I couldn’t invite him without his then-wife, Ana Leza, a huge fan of the singer.”

He goes on to explain that Madonna insisted on making the seating chart, and that she placed herself right between Almodóvar and Banderas at the main table. Ana Leza, however, was relegated to “the table furthest away.”

“Madonna did not pay attention to anybody else,” Almodóvar continues.“Ana dared to get close to our table and told the divine blonde sarcastically, ‘I see you like my husband, it doesn’t surprise me, all women like him, but I don’t mind because I am very modern.’ To which Madonna replied: ‘Get lost.’”

Oh, but it doesn’t stop there.

Almodóvar, who insists he’s not out to settle any scores, says that Madonna never explained why she brought a film crew to his party, other than to say it was “for a keepsake.”

“If it had been the other way round (me filming Madonna and her team and making a film with all that material which I would then premiere around the world) I would have taken such a hit in the form of a lawsuit I’d still be recovering from it.”

“Madonna treated us like simpletons and I had to say it one day,” Almodóvar continues. “She didn’t ask for permission to use our images, and she even dubbed me, because my English mustn’t have been that good.”

Madonna hasn’t responded to Almodóvar’s essay.

NEON partners with Queer Quarantine to present “Alone Together,” highlighting the perspectives of LGBTQ people of color during the COVID-19 pandemic

NEON partners with Queer Quarantine to present “Alone Together,” highlighting the perspectives of LGBTQ people of color during the COVID-19 pandemic

Queer Quarantine

NEON has partnered with Queer Quarantine to release its new project “Alone Together,” which highlights how LGBTQ people of color are coping during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Alone Together” aims to express solidarity and document the times, ultimately recognizing that maintaining a sense of community and connectivity is necessary now more than ever. COVID-19 can make LGBTQ people feel lonely, scared and paranoid, but sharing our stories is the best way to counter that.

Check out the full video, and more about the project on GLAAD’s Instagram, below: 

In the “Alone Together” project, several LGBTQ people of color share their answers to questions about being in quarantine, ranging from “What has been a positive/beneficial habit that you’ve picked up since the quarantine?” to “What has this made you grateful for that maybe you’ve overlooked prior to this quarantine?” The goal of the project is to remind the LGBTQ community that our beauty has always been the product of resilience, and this moment should show us who we are and who we’ve always been – creators that will survive together.

Created in 2019 by Myles E. Johnson, Queer Quarantine is a creative agency that creates content to empower and engage Black and of color Gen Z and Millennial LGBTQIA+ people.

Launched in February, NEON is an ongoing digital content series that aims to increase the visibility of Black LGBTQ people. NEON leverages the power of storytelling and GLAAD’s platform to create multi-dimensional, accurate portraits of the Black LGBTQ experience.
