Madonna flirts to land cast

Madonna persuaded actor Richard E Grant to appear in her directorial debut 'Filth and Wisdom' by flirting with him.

The singer - married to director Guy Ritchie - used her feminine charms to coax 'The Gosford Park' star into appearing in the movie.

Grant says: "I respond well to flattery. Flattery and money.

"Madonna flirted with me to get me to make her new film, 'Filth and Wisdom'. She's a terrible flirt and very attractive.

"I was bewitched, so of course I fell at her feet."
