Madonna's Men: Sean Penn



Madonna gave Sean Penn a shout out as her true love in pre-reality television, film "Truth or Dare" in 1991.

Empowered and self-determining, citing Madonna as the prime example of the post-feminist is almost academic. Her fascination with film is one of the rare instances of a career and artistic endeavor which had lead to mixed results. Part of her fascination seems to result in the dating of men in that field (Early in her music career, she also dated DJs and music producers.)

In 1986, she met and married Sean Penn. They separated in 1988, and divorced in 1989. During their relationship, they starred together in Shanghai Surprise, infamous for terrible reviews, and even worst box office take. It wasn't "so bad it's good," it was just bad. It was also the first of a handful of movies that she starred in with boyfriends or husbands.

Marring Madonna has got to be one of the most emasculating experiences a guy can do, which is also slightly ironic because the men in her life also tend to be very "male" in appearance and demeanor.
