Singer, songwriter, actress, choreographer, producer and businesswomanwith 66 years of age this Friday, August 16, Madonna Louise Ciccone has been around for more than 40 years artistic career and practically everything has been written about it.
Madonna, The Queen of Pop, was born on August 16, 1958 in Bay City, Michigan, United States, and later moved to New York to succeed in the world of music. On the occasion of the 66th birthday of Madonna, We recovered some of their facets less known.
BRONTOFÓBICA
Madonna suffers from brontophobia, an anxiety disorder based on an intense fear of storms, thunder and lightning. This phobia has caused her to demand that several specialized meteorologists consult with her whenever she travels by plane to analyze the weather forecast. If there is a risk of a storm in her path, she prefers not to fly even if she has to cancel a concert.
MADONNA’S MACROBIOTIC DIET MAKES HER LOOK FRESH AND YOUNG AT 66
At 66, Madonna follows a strict macrobiotic diet. It is a diet that is linked to Eastern philosophy, which does not seek to lose weight or to compensate for a specific nutritional goal.
Madonna eats six small meals a day, three main meals slightly larger than the others, and eats every two to three hours. Her favorite juice is watermelon. She eats organic protein bars, fruits, vegetables and grains like quinoa.
While on tour, Madonna doesn’t drink or smoke. “Although her six-day-a-week workout regimen is grueling,” her trainer Craig Smith explained in an interview with Daily Mail. He said that “diet plays 80 percent of the role in keeping the megastar in shape.”
MADONNA, A SURVIVOR OF 58, REACHES 66 YEARS OF AGE
Madonna has survived the other two American idols of pop-funk music of the 80s: Michael Jackson and Prince. Curiously, all three artists were born in 1958. “The contemporaneity of these three stars gave rise to one of the most successful eras for pop music,” explains the BBC.
She also outlived the other great pop diva of that era, Whitney Houston, who, although not part of the “58 crop,” was at the top of the charts with all of them.
Her formula? “I’m pretty boring,” the singer told host James Corden, to whom she confided that she doesn’t smoke, drink or party. A “boredom” that has kept her in top shape and active at 66.
WRITER OF BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
In September 2023, and one year before celebrating her 66th birthday, Madonna launched her first children’s book “The English Roses” in London with an exclusive party for children, friends and the international press.
The celebration took place in the gardens of Kensington Palace and included a traditional English tea session. In addition, it was attended by designer Stella McCartney and model Kate Moss, as well as British and European celebrities.
The children’s book is sold in over 100 countries around the world, having been translated into 30 languages. “I like children more than adults. They don’t have bad habits, or at least not permanent ones,” Madonna told reporters at the time.
“The English Roses” is based on Hebrew texts from the Jewish Kabbalah, and tells the story of several 11-year-old teenagers who are jealous of a neighbor in their neighborhood.
