Madonna - 60 Minutes Interview (Madonna at 40)

[@soundseeker63]

He was quite patronising at times but, an interesting interview none the less. Motherhood added a new dimension to her, personally and professionally. Madonna was absolutely EVERYTHING during the Ray Of Light/Music era!

[@carolineonline2112]

He called Erotica a failure. Hello, Deeper and Deeper was hit song off that cd.

[@soundseeker63]

@@carolineonline2112 Which is hilarious because not only was it a really good album but it went double platinum and charted top 10 in every territory it was released. Only compared to some of her previous albums was it "a failure" but then we are talking about the most successful female artist of all time..

[@CPWHUNTERGUY]

She sure ruled the world for 30+ years. 🙌🌐❤️👑🎶💯✔️ When she came down the stairs on The Virgin Tour Concert, we knew she'll be the biggest-selling female recording artist in history!!!🥂

[@CristinaF210]

yup we knew, i remember that day very well

[@rara1800]

They laughed at her? I disagree. It’s still sold a lot of copies and she wasn’t doing it necessarily for the money and the attention. She was doing it for herself because she wanted to explore things on her own. I think throughout her career she was trying to figure out who she was and what she wanted to do there’s nothing wrong with that.

[@richardpowers2313]

I agree. . . I don't think they ever laughed AT her. . . she was interesting always and innovative and people never talked about her art or the points she was making with irony or disbelief or just disgust at humanity sometimes. . . romantic, creative, full of wonder and belief in love's power and God's grace. . . .Madonna. . .

[@Kat-id7rz]

Madonna has a lot of strength and brains. I still cant take care of myself.

[@ilianakaneva66]

She was very honest and broke everything down about her beliefs and her missing love. It was a sincere and not staged.

Imagine an interview like this in France or Italy or Germany where a sensual woman is put on trial for being who she is, it just wouldn't happen. Charlie Rose is the perfect puritanical mouthpiece for ridiculous Puritan America.

[@FEEBO2025]

I would regret sitting down with Chuckie Rose.

[@letBIGGIErest]

if this interview was during the drowned world tour, Madonna would have been about 43 here not 40. I supposed they decided to go with an even number here for the sake of headlines. it's crazy seeing Madonna's face with natural wrinkles here. thanks for uploading.

This was filmed in 1999. They added an updated intro.

[@hutch1197]

I hate to tell you this, but she was already getting work done at this point. She'd had an eye job and at least one small lift (maybe forehead). She looked fantastic, but her problem was that she didn't know when to stop.

[@AlexeBriand2002]

@@hutch1197she still looks fantastic today

[@briandubois-gilbert8182]

For all her legacy of music, creative artistry, activism, advocacy and philanthropy-I’m way beyond judging her by her age and physical attributes or whatever else she wants to do-it’s her body, her life, her choices-and really is nobody else’s damn business. She paid her dues, took her licks, did it the old fashion way-she earned it. After all great art transcends time.

[@TheYazmanian]

What a rude ass mofo. She was nice af to him. She has a lot of grace. He was trying to bait her and I'm glad she never fell for it

[@markpatient2766]

I don’t remember her dying her hair after the tour. She went straight to filming Swept Away so the date of this is odd. Lola was nearly 6 after the tour but here she’s a toddler 🤔

[@robtaylor4365]

This interview is from Spring 1999. The Drowned World Tour Clip was added later.

[@garycambridge5513]

Exactly- if they were interviewing Brad Pitt or George clooney they would never mention their ages

[@Jakker271]

But thats because they were mostly famous when they were older anyway. Pitt was in films in his early 20s sure, but was he doing what Madonna from her debut album?

This antiquated interview is so ageist. Calling her middle aged at 40… that’s not middle aged. She clearly was in distress and didn’t want to be interviewed.

[@Patrick3183]

20 years ago it was

[@FCignelli]

Your 40s is considered middle age as our average life expectancy is 80.

[@Inaworldoflove]

38 is actually 'middle age' if you half the life expectancy in the USA. So you are incorrect.

[@BLTKellys]

That’s what happens when old white men interview you

[@redshield2117]

the middle age is around 50 bitches cause life has become way much longer than before

[@tylerch8]

Well guess what 1998, the Erotica album and era has aged amazingly

[@kleicat724]

I almost find the interviewer abusive to Madonna. He forces her to answer questions and sometimes responses to questions for her self, and on very personal subjects. The more I watch Madonna's interviews the more I understand her attitude and how she had to stood up for her self all these years. When you watch these interviews in 2023, it just feels like a avant garde artist being bullied by chirstian interviewers all day long lmao.

[@hutch1197]

He was playing devil's advocate and challenging her on her opinions/choices. That's what a good journalist does. The result was some stellar answers from her. It only made me respect her more. When you challenge your subjects, you get better, more interesting answers. I'd much rather an interviewer do this than what they do now, which is essentially kiss the celebrity's ass.

[@griff404]

i don't feel like there's much substance to this interview at all probably due to the annoyance mentioned in other comments i didnt learn anything and i feel charlie rose kinda interviewed himself with madonna correcting him

[@tur74d56]

She does older here with the dark hair

[@FindingMadonna]

Yeah she usually looks older with black hair. Although in this case it's probably the styling and lighting (you could she wasn't happy with how she looked on the monitor). But in the Larry King interview from around this same time with dark hair she looked chic and sophisticated and younger than she does here.

[@caslove14]

People were being unbelievably cruel to me. lol she’s notoriously rude and doesn’t give a shit about other peoples feelings.
