Madsen's Man Embarrassed Pals

Virginia Madsen's friends were so appalled by the actress' last choice of boyfriend, they were often embarrassed for her when she stepped out with him in public.

The 42-year-old actress, ex-wife of actor Danny Huston, admits her most recent beau wasn't particularly good looking, but she was in awe of his gifted mind.

She says, "The last boyfriend I had, and I rarely have a boyfriend, the last time I fell in time I really fell in love, he was short and bald and not a particularly attractive man, but he was a poet and I just thought he hung the moon.

"And I became so attracted to him that my friends were deeply embarrassed for me in public. Seriously. The smart thing, the brainy thing, that's what gets my clothes off."
