MADONNA AND ME

Livia Firth

‘I first encountered Madonna at the 2011 Oscars when my husband Colin [Firth] won Best Actor [for The King’s Speech]. It was one of the best nights of my life, and there were so many unbelievable people later at a party. I remember being on the dancefloor and realising I was right next to Madonna. Madonna dancing. I would like to say she said something but she didn’t really look at me – she was concentrating on her dancing. But just to be next to her was a huge buzz.’
