On September 22 2017, Madonna released a hilarious video to promote the MDNA skincare line (released at Barney’s in the USA on Tuesday September 26). In the video, directed by David Sabshon (filmed on July 25), Madonna was joined by Instagram starJosh Ostrovsky (commonly known as The Fat Jewish).
Here’s part of the hilarious dialog between the two:
“You know what I think, Josh? Pampering is the key to youth. I spray my face with Rose Mist spray, and I feel like I’m walking through a garden”
Fat Jew responds: “People ask my all the time, why do you look so glowing? Like you’re pregnant. And I say it’s because I mist myself with Rosé all day long.”
When Madonna asks if she can try the Rosé, “Will it send me down a spiral of shame?”
“You’re gonna make some really questionable decisions,” Fat Jew says.
“I’ve been doing that for 33 years,” Madonna points out.
