Pop sensation Madonna was deeply touched after watching the Academy Award nominated movie ‘Milk’. The singer revealed that she ‘cried and cried’ watching her ex-husband Sean Penn portraying the role of a homosexual politician Harvey Milk.
Madonna, 51 also claimed that Penn is a wonderful actor and the movie reminded her of the gay friends she has lost to AIDS.
She quoted, "'Milk' was such a brilliant film. I cried and cried. I loved it. He (Penn) is amazing. I could see why he would be attracted to the role and be able to say yes in two seconds. Watching 'Milk' was such a trip down memory lane for me.”
"After going to New York and being a dancer when the whole AIDS epidemic started and nobody knew what it was. And then suddenly, all these beautiful men around me, people who I loved so dearly, were dying - just one after the next," she added.
Milk which was released in 2008 is an American biographical film on the life of gay rights activist and politician Harvey Milk. He was the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California. The flick was directed by Gus Van Sant which stars Sean Penn as Milk and Josh Brolin as Dan White.
