Rob Lowe says he messed up chance to bed Madonna by refusing to dance with her
ROB Lowe says that he could have slept with Madonna back in the 80s but mucked up his chance because he wouldn’t dance with her.
ROB Lowe has revealed in a new memoir that he could have slept with Madonna, but he mucked up his chance, because he wouldn’t dance with her first.
In Love Life, the sequel to his best-selling 2011 memoir, Stories I Only Tell My Friends (Lowe has said his new memoir is much “racier” than its predecessor), the eternally youthful star talks of meeting Madonna after a show in Los Angeles in 1984.
“She was cute and she was young and she was single, and so I sat front-row ... she was a revelation,” Lowe writes in the book. “‘Madonna would like to see you backstage,’ a security guard said as the house lights came up.”
“She had flawless skin and eyes that imparted secrets ... she asked what movie I was working on and so I told her a little about St. Elmo’s Fire, which I had just finished. ‘I play the bad boy,’ I said. Madonna just smiled. She seemed to like that.”
Meanwhile, Madonna also seems to like HBO series, Games of Thrones, channelling character Daenerys Targaryen for the Jewish holiday Purim.
Lowe said the two made a date to meet months later at iconic New York club, the Palladium, “a giant dance club that was filled with rabid ‘boy-toy’ doppelganger fans of both sexes. It was a madhouse.”
The “grabbing and pawing” crowd, it seems, were not his scene.
“Madonna and I were discussing where we would sneak off to at the end of the evening when she suddenly jumped up and said, ‘Let’s dance!’… ‘I’ll wait here,’ I said.
“‘Suit yourself,’ she replied as she waded beyond the velvet rope into the fray.”
But, unlike Madonna, Lowe had no desire to mix with the general public.
He writes: “‘You’re crazy,’ I said, half meaning it. ‘No I’m not,’ she said … ‘I’m just not going to let success f**k up my fun.’”
No word on whether this was the last time Madonna actually interacted with the public.
