Family affair at Madonna's premiere

Fri 26 Jan 1:00 PM

Madonna's embarrassing film record normally keeps her away from the red carpet, but the pop queen braved the frosty on Thursday night for the London premiere of Arthur And The Invisibles.

She voices a character, Princess Selenia, in the children's animated fantasy which also features the voices of David Bowie and Robert De Niro.

And Madonna looked like she didn't have a care in the world as she posed in London's Leicester Square with her film director hubby Guy Ritchie and kids Lourdes and Rocco. Her soon-to-be-adopted baby David Banda was left at home, but Madonna assured us: "He's great, wonderful."

On making the film, Madonna said: "It was great fun. I got to voice the character while sitting there in my tracksuit." Asked what attracted her most to the character, she answered: "I like how tough she is and that she knows how to use a sword." She also confirmed she will not be playing at Glastonbury this summer, but did announce that her new album will have (surprise, surprise) more disco songs.

The film is helmed by Luc Besson, who announced his retirement on the night. Luc confirmed Arthur was his last film, explaining: "I've been in this business for 30 years. It's a long time."

Arthur And The Invisibles is released nationwide on February 2.
