“It was very comfortable. She walked in the room, and I’m a big Madonna fan so I was expecting it to be nervewracking but she walked in and it was totally fine.

I felt like her son for the day, I was supposed to be her son in the ad campaign actually.

She was just so nice to me, it wasn’t like I was some random kid, she really treated me with respect and I truly respected her for that.

She’s such a superstar but she treats you as though you’re on the same level.

It was really incredible and she’s just a very nice, sweet person.

I was pleasantly surprised.”
