Before Penn could even get the words out of his mouth that he’d take her up on the strange proposal, Madonna decided to take the performance in another direction. The bridal waltz came over the loud speakers and Penn found himself in an awkward situation on stage. Madonna shimmied and shook all over stage in some kind of an impromptu not-so-private dance.
Penn may have been okay with this, had it not been in front of all of the eyes in the audience, including Madonna’s eleven-year-old son, David. But the fact that her son was there didn’t stop Sean from whipping out a pair of handcuffs and taking the steam factor up even more.
Belle Of The Ball
Madonna has long been admired for her bold fashion choices. She was having a hard time choosing just one outfit for the gala and instead, brought along several to change in to throughout the evening. For her explosive scene with former husband Sean Penn, she opted for a short, puffy skirt and a shimmering corset that really accentuated her beautiful features.
The moment between the two stars really pulled on the heart strings of all of those who wanted so badly to see them back together. Luckily, everyone got to see what they wanted, if only for those few moments they spent on stage that evening…or was it?
The Catch
And all along, while the A-list audience members had their hopes of seeing the golden couple back together, there was a catch. Madonna shocked the audience by telling Penn that she would absolutely remarry him right then and there – IF he dropped 150,000 dollars on one of the necklace’s up for grabs in the auction.
Penn was certainly caught off guard a little bit, but since the two had a fondness in their hearts for one another, he was a good sport about the whole thing. In fact, Penn actually agreed to spend the money on the necklace and take Madonna up on her offer! But then, something occurred that would change everything.
Think Of Anything?
Madonna pulled the audience in through the power of her voice as soon as Penn slid the handcuffs on to her wrist. She leaned in to the microphone to tantalizingly joke about the “many moments,” of their marriage. The audience laughed, of course, everyone knowing that she was obviously referencing the media circus created by the false reports.
The same media circus that apparently isn’t the reason that the pair split at all. They joked and laughed and looked cozy in one another’s company, all while raising money for charity and keeping the audience very, very entertained!
Turning Red
The temperature was rising through the roof at the gala and the audience members were at the very edges of their seats. People were chewing on their finger nails in anticipation of what Madonna and Penn were going to do next. Imagine everyone’s surprise when the sultry blonde singer leaned in and whispered in to her former husband’s ear that she was in love with him still!
It wasn’t just the audience that was surprised by this, as Penn had a look of bewilderment on his face, too. And just when he thought things couldn’t get any more intense, he turned around to find old pictures of them from their former life as a happy couple displayed on a large screen behind them.
