In an interview that appears in the November issue of Esquire magazine, Guy Ritchie spoke briefly of his ex-wife, Madonna, with whom he shares a nine-year-old son, Rocco. “She’s a manifester, if there ever was one,” he says. “First-rate manifester. Madonna makes things happen. Put Madonna up against any twenty-three-year-old, she’ll outwork them, outdance them, outperform them. The woman is broad. And, of course, here you go: I still love her,” he admitted, adding, “But she’s retarded, too.” About the pub he co-owns in the Mayfair district of London, the Punch Bowl, he said, “Madonna, when she came in here, it was old-school London. No one bothered her. ‘Hello, darling. How are you, darling? What can we get you?’ It was fundamental, old-school. It didn’t matter who she was. She was my wife.”
