James Morrison names Madonna as the rudest celebrity he’s ever met

By Fabio Crispim

James Morrison has named Madonna as the rudest celebrity he’s ever met.

Speaking to the Metro to promote his latest album, Higher Than Here, the 31-year-old singer-songwriter was asked who the rudest celebrity he’d ever met was, and recounted the excruciating moment he met the ‘Rebel Heart’ singer at a recording studio.

“I met Madonna in a studio in LA,” Morrison recalled.

“The guy there was like: ‘Do you want to meet Madonna?’ I was like, ‘I’m not really a fan. I wouldn’t know what to say.’ He said, ‘Just f**king say hello.'”

The Broken Strings singer revealed that while Madge wasn’t “horrible”, it certainly wasn’t the friendliest of meetings.

“So I met her, offered her my hand, she looked at it like it was covered in s*** and she said: ‘What d you do?’ I said I was a singer. She stared at me a bit. It was awkward. She wasn’t horrible, just not very friendly.”

Does that come as a surprise?

It is the Queen after all.
